You've reached the obode of perpetual darkness..

Hello my name is Sarah, you've reached verifications. Hi, my name is Sarah, and you're through to verifications. Hey, my name is Sarah Lyons, and it's my job to check your details.
Slight variations on a ubiqiutous theme...neccessary synonyms to eleviate the strain of repetitive topics. A thesaurus addition to a common-ass life that allows us to paint a positive picture in our minds....because this isn't just a current problem...or a personal problem. This is a subjective and objective view on a world-wide modern day epidemic.
Tv has turned into one big program on how you/they/we live our lives, and the leap from fantasy to reality, massively highlights for me,how much time we devote to watching other people live their lives, over actually living our own. Music is largely reutterances, renaming, repetitive do-overs... Art is a caricature of what it once was. Lacking in originality, substance, anything.
Of course, I generalise....but it's difficult not to get frustrated when you look around and see such inanity referred to as entertainment. Having to listen to people rave about X-factor and feign interest in the banality of their lives can be soul-destroying as well. You can say it's important to remain true to one's own interests but sometimes it's easier to nod and smile and be a sheep, than to be the cynical, negative co-worker that no one wants to talk to any more. I think as you get older you realise that it isn't so much compromising your integrity as just saving your energy (severely diminished from college - a lot pointlessly expended on protesting car parking fees without actually owning a car then or since..) for the more important things in life. I'll update this when I figure out what those our.

depressed reflectioNs on a mOrbid exisTence

....nah, just kidding!! This is a happy posting...or is it?? I mean it's not like I've ever been known for consistency. More like one tangent stream of intangible reasoning after the next. Hmmmm, I'm not sure this is going anywhere. I went somewhere though. Australia!! Who would have though it. Ok fine, it's not Yemen. It's kind of an obvious choice. The exciting thing is that I'm close to all these other places that are completely alien to me, ...and I have a chance to obliterate that ignorance....to go somewhere I never even dreamed of before...if I can just get a job. Well that kinda knocks all those romanticisms to hell doesn't it. It's soul-destroying really. I'm like roadrunner making deep ruts in the dirt I'm so eager to keep running...and that whole dirty concept of money is just holding me back with his horrible grimy hands. Or maybe it's really that new plague that's sweeping the nation...what's the name for it again.?! Oh yeah, sitonthecouchitis. This isn't turning out to be as cheery as I thought.
:)
There we go. Everything's fixed now, thanks to our friend the emoticon. *long sigh. I really hate it. More than saying like at the end of every sentence, and long hand-shakes, and fad-type catchphrases, ooooh, multiple exclamation marks,.....

Use your words people!!!
