Nope.
I just don't give a flamingo's perineum about your new haircut, how slow the bus was this morning, or how your adulterous neighbor, Timothy, slept with his trans-gendered cousin.
Yes, the weather is nice today - & I know it's getting colder. Modern politics is complicated and frustrating, yes. Sneaky Sneakers has a 50% off sale? Well fuck me sideways, that's so very fascinating.

They say Samsara is Nirvana, but it often feels like skipping through banalities and cycling trivialities. Give me something real.

I hate pessimistic people like you. Not EVERYTHING in life has to be a "real" discussion.
Sometimes it's okay just to make small talk with people.

I glued that one together myself, but there's a blueprint:
"Samsara is Nirvana" is a progressive view (mostly in Mahayana Buddhism) that suffering is enlightenment, we just haven't touched the present moment well enough to grasp it.
"Cycling trivialities" is a song by Jose Gonzales.
"Give me something real" is the chorus to an old Christian teenage song by "Miss Angie".
The keyword 'banalities' hopped into my vocabulary today as I was reading "Veronika Decides to Die" by Paulo Coelho.

thats fairly cool actually. i dig that.  i though it was good how it all rhymed and had a poetic sense to it as well. you seem like an interesting person.
so in the time inbetween my last reply and now i was typing out the following, so it's a bit random but may be of some merit. who knows.
some things i find contradictory.
why do muslims live a life of extreme sexual prudency, women having to cover their whole bodies, and not even being able to look at another man unless it is her husband. why are they not supposed to have sex untill after marriage, and all of these overly burdensome beliefs and customs, to be told that " in the after life " and the " promised land " they get 72 virgins waiting for their sick and perverted pleasures????
shouldn't they be told just to live a pure and prudent life and be rewarded with the grace of god afterwards??? not be told ' well hey don't murder anyone now and then you can re-live hitlers life once you die '.
its contradictory to tell someone to obstain from something their whole life, and then tell them they can do as much of it as they please once they die??
and why are politicians and governments these days always so damn shady and shifty. constrantly driving towards the centralisation of power and the removal or subversion of the constitution. they all swear oaths to uphold that old parched document, yet they spend their whole careers trying to erode, disobey and circumvent it.
" the wheels of change. . . are full of innertia. . . and are adverse. . . to radical leaps. . . in any direction " -dosile 2011they seek to hold some things constant and immobile. such as drug policy and immigration laws. yet they jump at the opportunity to be able to expand their own powers in terms of putting a legal spin on extraordinary rendition, waterboarding and detaining people without charge. the inner workings of their cabinet enjoy privileged or secret status for some outrageous ammount of time. so that all they have to do in the mean time is just deny, deny and then deny some more. or create a royal inquest and respond " we are looking into the matter . . . results were inconclusive ". it basically gives them a licence to do whatever they want, and to get away with it. by law. because 50 years down the track when it gets released that the gulf of tonkan incident was actually knowingly faked, everybody who is interested or able to be held accountable for it is now dead or senile. and why do they talk so much bullshit to the people. my father worked as a state level tax executive for the treasury. he told me numerous times that the government present a facade to the public just to keep up appearances, and carry on about their business behind closed doors. for example, he used to tell me, ' when you see on the news a public scandal involving one of the ministers heads of departments being scapegoated, if the minister says publicly "this person has my full support", it means they are fired. ' i laughed at him and thought he was crazy. sure enough . . . three times i saw this happen and each time the scapegoat ' willingly ' resigned in a few days. he said when that happens that is the unofficial way of saying they are fired. and its rung true so far. edit - and as a side note. why are the damn politicians always just calling for the oppositions resignations. if someone messes something up, the response isn't to fix the problem, the response is to call for the other minister to be fired. like thats going to fix anything. it really frustrates me that everything in politics is just spun into a rat race of popularity, as opposed to a performance and issues based approach. instead of putting their minds together and getting done what needs to be done, they sit and argue over frivolous bullshit. the whole political structure is retarded. further examples found in corporate beuaracracy are when ASIC (austrlias securities and investment commission, corporate regulator and policeman), issues an infringement notice (generally a slap across the wrists for a company that broke the rules, leading to a fine being paid), ASIC will then make either a public declaration about the infringement notice, as well as a statement saying the company was not found guilty of any offence. ofcourse its an aim to prevent 3rd party liability in terms of the company being sued on the basis of wrong doing, but thats not the point. they elect to forego criminal and civil proceedings against the company who has clearly infringed the rules, putting forth no precedent, sending no shockwaves through the market, electing to essentially allow the company to sign a private agreement with a golden handshake and be released of liability. then they say that " the paying of this sum of money is not indicative of guilt or wrong doing ". well ok, i'll just pay you $200,000. i haven't done anything wrong though, i just like to keep on good terms with the corporate regulator. . ? theres alot of bullshit out there man

I don't like small talk much either but I engage in it so people won't dislike me. Also it's often hard to get into better conversations without starting somewhere simple

At least you guys got people who can have decently intelligent small talk. The only small talk I ever encounter involves the packers.

It's all about me, actually. This isn't egotistical or self-absorbed.
Think about it:
When you engage in conversation with someone about trite observations, gossip, or daily affairs, you aren't interacting in order to boost your serotonin levels or to gather important information. It's either a selfish attempt to ease your anxiety that manifests for most people in moments of "social silence" -- or it's a genuine attempt at connecting with the person.
Their tone of voice and inflection is paramount, as is their word choice in conversation, their facial expressions, their body language, etc. These things don't come out of thin air: they arrive from the two people who are addressing each other. It's a primitive and natural form of communication -- we entangle ourselves in other people on multiple levels. It's not about the fucking weather, it never was.
In my opinion (see, I'm being so God damned polite) most people crave intimate encounters with others; we're just so fucking afraid to admit those conditions. Therefore, we create elaborate reasons to bond with one another: late at night with lots of alcohol intoxication, surrounded by loud music, or in the safe company of dozens of other friends or people, etc. And only then do we open up and admit, yes, it's about me.

Thanks for quoting.
I didn't see it the first time.
Make sure to also put Hunter S. Thompson quotes in your signature, since none of us have seen those either.

Are you this irritable in normal life? Let me guess, you don't go to many parties because they are filled with assholes that only want to drink and get stupid.

You can project whatever image you want. Just remember that the ingredients you use for your mold, are actually derived from the images I projected out there first. Welcome to the Internet.

I agree with you entirely. This really bothers me when I'm spaced out after binges of psychedelics. I'll have a conversation and on it's simplest level it really is just my desire for interaction. I could give a fuck about the weather. I want what I want.

 Ok Arden.
Also, you never answered my question. You just used a lot of hyperbolic crap to dodge the question. If you are perceived as reserved and apathetic then I doubt you have many masks.
