i love the look on people's faces when i show them adblock for the first time. i feel trapped and threatened when i use someone else's computer and they do not have adblock installed. i no longer have a television. i refuse to listen to the radio. i live happily protected by my Mozilla as i search and discover information at my own pace.

sadly this is a two way street. i feel disconnected to those outside my window now. the ones smoking a joint listening to some song on their mobile phone. so i walk through the day assuming a high sense of self preservation...protecting myself from all that is outside my sense of smell.

Being broke.
Not broken is the key to remember.
Someone said sometime and I heard it sometime that being poor sets you free.
I strongly doubt that when viewed straight on. Sort of like seeing a truck the last seconds before the bumper separates your knee and removes the bottom half of your leg, that's what poor initially appears to be.
But.
Then.
As long as food is taken care of and a small covering for the rain is available I guess it would be human to say you are free from the bounds of a job or a house...
I don't see it.
I have no wants.
I want nothing. I have every-"thing" that I could want.
I just wanted to have some extra in case one of the cats gets sick...
That's human.
