Thumbs down Today... I just don't care... *shrug*


I don't know why, I can't explain it, but today I woke up with a feeling of indifference. A really strong feeling of indifference. I don't know why, I can't explain it.

So today at school there was this whole 'club day', I guess it is the only way to describe it. Well, student organizations basically. looking for members, like yoga organization, some others that I just can't remember now, hell even AI(Amnesty International).

Everywhere I walked, a student approached me about joining said organization, but I didn't really say anything, just kinda walked on by...

I also saw a hip-hop org, and thought to myself, I should come up with a metalhead org, but I just don't have the will to follow through with it. Then a student actually asked me if I had any ideas for another organization...

"I think I do.." I said... "The indifference organization" I remarked, rather coldly...


I don't know, maybe I have been watching the news too much, following all these world events, and now this whole shit on the economy. One way or another they are going to pass said bill, and we are the ones who will pay for it anyways. I guess maybe thats where my indifference stems from, since most of whatever happens in the world is beyond our control...

Its as if all my will is being sapped away....





Anyone else want to join my indifference organization? *shrug*

Who cares about indifference? Who gives a **** about apathy?

You should definitely start an apathy organisation - anyone who actually turns up can then be banned from the group.

The Apathy Org will need a logo (not from whoever designed that flippety-floppy Slack one), and a motto, (not much idea about Latin) something like: Quo donatus excreta?
I suppose I could be treasurer, I know you can't be bothered filling in details, so just send me blank cheques.

At Uni (this is a long time ago...) someone started an Apathy Soc, which I first took for quite an interesting joke. Then I realised that there were grants available to clubs and societies and that it wasn't some kind of post-structuralist humour.

Huh, me though, can't be RS-ed...

Such idea was used in "futurama" in one of the series. The trick is that to be able to join "apathy organization", potential new member must show complete lack of interest to anything, including that organization. So if someone wants to join, he won't be accepted because of lack of apathy.

Are we having a case of the "Mondays"?

Get it? Got it? Good!

I'm just thankful it's Friday. But that means my wife is gonna put me to work remodeling the bathroom. No rest for the weary, I guess.

Its not Monday, so its not that. Just an overall feeling of apathy. As I posted earlier, I guess it is due to what is all going on these days. I just feel so jaded.

Come to think of it I rarely feel apathy, whatever apathy I might feel quickly turns to anger and spite. I just can't stop caring, as long as I'm still alive I can't help it.

The only time might be after getting off a 12 hour flight after not being able to sleep too much due to heavy turbulence (and I'm not very fond of flying), but even then I wouldn't really call that apathy ... it's more like an undead kind of feeling, like I'm a zombie fresh out of my grave.

I have an even better suggestion in defense of said things.

If everything has an equal and opposite reaction then we have no free will.
I would explain it further but I stopped caring.

There's no such thing as free will. They made it up.

Did they choose to, or was the decision imposed on them?
