it's gotta be it: the commute.
that's what's keeping the californians dumb and making the new yorkers smarter. that's why europeans think more clearly, let me rephrase that actually, that's why the europeans think, period. that's what makes a city a city, riding, not driving. gotta take the ride man, you gotta take the ride. read till your eyes pop out, ipodeaf yourself to death, doze off, do whatever, it happens, thinking takes place. that's why californians are smiling all the time, they're not thinking, or else they'd be as gloomy and aloof and introvert and indifferent as all the normal people. it's gotta be the law, think, drink and don't drive.
rush hour, people doing the same thing at the same time everyday, the asian chick who pours me my small coffee without asking, paying with exact change without exactly talking, something about mass practice of routines, about stinking metro cars with the homeless and their shitloads of plastic bottles.
watch kontroll. read bukowski. fuck new york. live it la.

Well said! What’s wrong with smiling people! It is actually great! It makes you feel good; maybe thinking too much is not all that good. What do you get at the end!? Nothing!
Life happens the way it wants to and fucks you up, either you think or you don't think. Seeing happy people and having some happy small talks with them make you smile. I appreciate this more after visiting our beloved country.
