USER PROFILE

Last night while consuming popcorn and beer for dinner, I was inspired to complete my user profile. So now I am linked to heaps of strangers who enjoy reading Alice in Wonderland and listening to Morphine while cogitating Yeast. Wow. a) Nothing is original and b) What a curious tribe we construct.

I remember reading The Human Zoo by Desmond Morris a couple years ago. The author spoke at length about how we humans evolved in small communities and although we now live on a planet inhabited by over 6.5 billion, we secretly yearn for the old days. That’s why people subscribe to magazines like “modern schnauzer” and “extreme ironing.” Because everyone longs to feel like they are apart of a tribe; where Sam knows Mary, who knows Henry, who knows Borris. And each person is unique and important.

Yes, even you Borris.
