I would like to just quit society back into something that resembles the fifties... with today's tech... minus the female submissive thing... although that's fun too sometimes...

Society is reality, as sad as it is to escape society you must escape reality first.

Frankly, I'm glad most people don't have the follow-through to actually go and quit society and move into the wilderness. Society has put enough pressure on what remaining undeveloped land it has yet to absorb; the last thing the world needs is a bunch of greenhorn disillusioned city and suburb dwellers going about shooting the wildlife and setting up fields to farm. It's an ecological coup-de-grace.

Have no illusions that you can live in harmony with nature. You are an invasive omnivorous African species that displaces or eats everything. A social top-predator.

There was a movie I saw a few months ago called Into The Wild. His whole experience really grabbed my attention. It looked to be so freeing, and is something that I would love to do. Not having to worry about money.. going wherever the wind takes you. I would love to live like that.

I work about 12 hours a week. I pay rent and bills and buy food. I spend my free time getting ready and travelling to and from my workplace. The rest I spend reading, eating and sleeping. I have everything I ever thought I wanted, a place of my own, a partner, a good job, money, food, books etc etc yet every day I wake up and want to spend it at home with my family, to enjoy their company. I'm seriously thinking about moving home out of the city.

The constant drone of words assault my mind every day either in the free mass-produced identi-kit newspapers that EVERYBODY reads on the bus and trains, soaking up all the crap and nonsense inside or on the radio and tv.

Hiking in the hills is the only thing that makes me feel pure and free and happy.

Society as it is, hurts.
