    what do YOU escape into as an alternative to the trials of every day? Harry Potter? drugs? video games, junk food, the hip forums? other people?

    my favorite: sleep.

    The only way to really live is to face the trials of life and learn everything you can from what you experience. The controllers want us docile and drugged. They don't want people seeing things as they really are, and that's why they give us our reality via the media and the culture in which THEY create.

    definitly, but I still think that sometimes stepping out of yourself for a respite is necessary to keep yourself somewhat sane.

    what about porn?

    Every single thing I've done in the last 7 months was done with the intention of escaping the world.

    Buy yourself a rope. A better way to escape this world is impossible.

    True, but I just needed a temporary escape. I love this world and life (even though humans tend to disappoint me sometimes)... I'm going back to college tomorrow... a nice 6 day road trip. Going up the coast of Florida, stoping at the beach on a couple of spots, then going to New Orleans for 2 nights to listen to some sweet jazz and hit on thin black chicks, then all the way up the Mississippi, glaring at the delta and listening to soft bluegrass under the tires.
    Stop in some small town on the river, dig the local sound.

    I've been doing research on a myriad of topics lately.. Been cooking when I can..
    My back has gone out three times in the last couple months.. So, I've been doing my escaping through a huge wall of pain.
    Books seem to take me the furthest away from it all I can get with no drugs.
