This is my life
And I am not happy
With this setting of mine
I deserve more than this.
I walk around
and see the houses which
look a lot like mine
I want to move to the city and be with people
but other days
I want 2 move 2 the wilderness and live alone.
The school bus
motors by
and I see pollution come out of its tail pipe
I wouldn’t mind emissions so much
if I lived in the city.
I am trapped in this life
where my parents have control
over what I do and who I am
I need to be free
because my parents
are guided by
society’s norms
I used to play JV soccer
this is a team sport
however I grew apart from my team
and h8ed ‘conforming’
to this concept
of a group of unified people
with one common goal
I don’t have a problem
with being part of something
bigger than urself
but I think that ur goals
should be ones that make the world
a better/more authentic place
One day, I will start a nonprofit organization
that aggregates the world’s most critically acclaimed music
and delivers pre-loaded iPods to children
in at-risk mainstream neighborhoods
(kind of like Meals-On-Wheels, except with indie-core music)
I have a vision
of a perfect world
I will not turn my back on suburbia
One day I will return
and ’save’ the Collective Soul of the suburban people.
I want to make the world a more authentic place
One day
An army will march through suburbia
and set this place
on fire. (this is a metaphor)

@tim, carles pays $100.00 for each picture used on HRO… just kidding he’s a really cheap mainstream bastard. The presence of your picture is it’s own credit but it will be removed promptly if you send an e-mail.

@anony,
hopefully he finds a nice, fellow 14 year old (girl) to do the tugging for him
its the least he deserves for being trapped in suburbia

trapped in suburbia bro…i love trapped in suburbia bro. i hope he moves to the city soon. poor trapped soul. trapped in his mcmansion house, his space cannot reflect his personal brand that is alt. was he born alt? or did he choose to be alt? his only cry for help is heard via an SUV, or the LIRR, an extension of his body.

I used to think my parents were oppressing my individuality, that suburbia is boring. I pined to grow up and leave home. Then I grew up and realised I couldn’t be bothered leaving home. I’m 25. I’m getting there. Suburbia is nice and quiet. The houses might look the same on the outside, but on the inside you get to make collages of mad magazine cutouts for the toilet wall.

@ann, I’m telling you leave now… of course I should follow my own advice but seriously it’s slowly eating me away from the inside….. and damn it we now have a really good music venue but I honestly have no reason to be here other than strictly the path of least resistance.
