Is it against the rules to complain about not having enough to do at work? You'd think I'd appreciate the free time to write, fuck around on the internet, and create gorgeous works of artful beauty, but the more freedom I have, the more perversely unmotivated I get. It's like stolen time is more valuable than free time.
I kept myself frantically busy during my vacation, trying really hard not to leave myself a moment to think. Those thinky moments are the worst. My parents always used to plan packed itineraries on our vacations, which I always thought were for the benefit of us kids, but now I see that they needed the blur of activity more than we did -- we would have been happy playing with hotel ice machines. At Disneyland, which was so gay that I burst into flames, parents dutifully dragged their rugrats around, draping them with merch and packing them full of sugar. (Hey, isn't it weird that there are no real animals at Disney, at all? Don't kids love animals, and aren't they the main characters of the Disney pantheon? Obviously the Disney cleanliness fetish doesn't allow for attractions that poo and pee, and in fact the bathrooms were so few, small, and piss-puddled that I kinda felt they were encouraging me to take my "business" elsewhere.) I barely had the energy to drag myself around the place, listlessly vectoring from one Designated Smoker's Ghetto to another -- and someday I'm supposed to bring my kids here? How will I possibly ever be that vivacious? I think all new parents are secretly issued a fifty-gallon drum of methamphetamine when they leave the hospital, to get them through the next eighteen years. Ugh. Disneyland is a giant pro-abortion ad. I didn't think I'd ever have sex again, but then I figured out how to fuck my computer. Then I designed an amusement park for adults, endlessly diverting and catering to all tastes, and I called it New York City. At least here, when I get tired, I can sit on the sidewalk and mumble to myself without some ankle-biter asking me if I'm supposed to be the pigeon lady from Mary Poppins. 0 comments |
