Life 1.0 (Full Version) by animo
“Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future.” – Trainspotting
Too many of us succumb to a life chosen by default and are driven by other people’s notion of the life we should aspire to. A life society thrusts upon us – McMansions, flash cars, retail therapy, perfect ENTER scores, a white picket fence and a golden retriever… Fuck that. Choose the life YOU want. It’s yours and you only get 1.0 shot at it!
p.s. Reincarnationists stay tuned for Life 2.0+ : )

I’m just going momentarily stop being dead to say it’s heartwarming to read something with a bit of fucking fight again. Star Wars was the death of me. One of the deaths of me.
shall i get cracking on a Life 3.0+ t-shirt in your honour… um how many reincarnations are you up to anyhoo? besides I think we should share a gin before the next one comes round ; )

Well I think I only did it once, clearly I am not actually dead, but it’s my preferred internet etiquette equivalent of avoiding a social occasions because you’re ‘washing your balls’ or whatever.
It saves me having to partake in a lot of shit. I’ll have a gin with you.
Good T and text extract Animo. Maybe that virtual world ‘Second Life’ could refer to how quickly it can go – rather than some silly, insubstantial cyber-reflection of the kind of futility you’re referring to. (Well, that’s my segue/tangent anyway!) Thanks for the stimulating offering.
