When your sitting at the trainstation, waiting for your ride home and this wrecked, wine-drinking psycho next to you starts talking about his life and everything, you will be reminded that all those tie-wearing pseudo-individuals are nothing more than skin and routines. Sometimes you may even feel connected to this shithead. Not out of pity, but the energy he sends out. You will see that no one of the others around you is like this. They are not trying to connect, they are self-connected with their iPhone-earplugs.
You don’t have to be this way. Take your headphones, put them in your pocket and enjoy your surroundings. If you don’t like what you see, be aware that your ignorant behaviour made this happen in the first place.

i hate introposts. they are the reason most of my first-blogging-steps ended rapidly. So i will cut this one short. I just needed to make a statement somewhere what to write about.

I’ll try to stick with an consistent and convinient way of tagging, but am taking no responsability of the big mess of posts wich could emerge over time.

So here goes emacs@mourique, or whatever.
