Insanity? Or Reality?
The Summer of 2011 is beginning, and as my first year of University is over academically, I hope to get as much inspiration and experience as my mind will let me.
I'm off to a festival tomorrow. A festival I'm pretty sure will be full of people all equally wanting to get ridiculously off there chops.. An event especially renowned for it's hedonism, I'm sure i'm going to bump into some eccentric characters and other craziness that I can draw light and inspiration from.
I love festivals mostly because I believe it's a time where you can fully appreciate being a human being on this planet. For some people in this society it's the only time that they can really connect with the Earth and other people around you without the constraints that wearing a suit can have on your social life.. not to mention Ego.
Sorry if I'm getting all hippie on your arse, but i'm not about to tell you to start making daisy chains and go around hugging trees.. well actually i'm perfectly open to this idea, who doesn't love a good hug and some flowers at the end of the day? But seriously.
A mate in Uni once told me that this is not the real world. Festival life IS the real world and this is how we should all be.
This made me think quite a bit.
I'm not doubting that what she said was far off the truth to be honest. I can see thousands of pedestrians in my mind now, passing each-other without a glance or a smile, off to there little glass houses, to sit in front of their massive TV's, their only window to the outside world.
Yeah, I can safely say I do not envy these people and would much rather be sitting bare-footed in a field with a cup of chai in one hand and a 10bag in the other, ready to take on the world as far as my senses may take me.
Am I just a sweet romantic? ..Maybe.
People say I have my head in the clouds..
I think we all know that this is probably alot less dangerous in my case, than sitting behind a stuffy desk, tweaked out with too much coffee and a brain riddled with bills and documents to tuck myself into bed with every night.
Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm gonna go make myself some magic.
Peace out. ✌
