Thought of the Day (aka rant):  I sat upstairs in McDonald's for like an hour today just watching people walk in the rain (And drinking tea, so wasn't completely strange).  Maybe I've watched too much Touch (Brilliant show) but i started to see patterns.  Generally people walk at the same pace, some strides are longer than each other, but from above it looks like a beautiful unrehearsed but choreographed dance that nobody knows they are in.  People walking has been used a lot in music videos and promo films (The credits of Touch) but I've never really paid attention to it first hand.  Where are they all going?  What's going to make them smile next?  Do they like who they are? Do they know i'm watching them? :)


It's the people that are out of step that i like to watch.  Those that not only go against the pattern but also cause others to upset theirs.  That's kind of like life isn't it, that you're either with the flow or against it.  Some let the currents glide them on whereas others swim against it. Do those that swim against it cause others to drown too? I don't know what the point of this is, i don't think there is one, other than sometimes people carry a ladder.


After a while i realized that people where starting to become more like ants than people (Is scary how easy it is to dehumanize people, why we do use animal language when we do though?) so i walked among them for a little while till i realised that i couldn't remember what i was shopping for and that my essay is still yet unwritten.
