but i still felt out of touch so i stopped watching TV and reading the papers and listening to the radio and making the fancy scenes and saying the right words and wearing the right clothes and knowing the names of the hip people and i felt more out of touch than ever but i didn't care anymore

Happily...or tragically...was never 'with it'. Same as it ever was

The constant pursuit of 'being cool' and keeping up with whatever is beloved by the trendy-trendsters, is a fool's quest. One I foolishly made when young, but have long since seen through, along with 'peer pressure, and 'conform to the norm'.

That haircut looks oddly familiar.

Why is there a picture of a zeppelin in the background?

I was never really with "it." Now I have no interest in being with "it", because "it" is just a bunch of stupid nigger shit.
