Cutting the crap

This may sound stupid, witless and even gross.

But I assure you.

It is true.


Of all the things we do, there is just one we don't ever get to see nobody else doing. I mean, you see everyone walking, eating, jumping, running, gossiping, backstabbing, cooking, raging, flaming, thursting, and observing. You know if you do it like them because you see them all doing it, maybe sometimes you just get the twisted version the TV and movies gives you like with romantic moments and kisses under the rain, or how to act after witnessing the dead of a suspicious girl in a dark alley.We even see how people have sex with porn and cinemax (all the fake 3-hour long crap... but still sex).

But there is something we don't see people do, and it is possible we can go trough our lives without ever seeing it. And I'm not talking about something deep like self exploration and meditation. I'm talking about serious shit (seriously). We NEVER see how people go to the toillet. Sure we see how they walk there, but once thos doors are closed we don't see what happens. Now, I know you think this is gross and completely out of the point of this blog. But think about it, of all the things we see people do, doesn't it seem a little funny that such a daily action is missed from our watch?

And sure, the media and cheap movies do jokes about it all the time, but they never show the real deal. They never show the most lonesome of all activities in the day. Because it is in fact the most lonely of all human activities. Showering? If you're lucky enough you get to do it with another person (or if in a team with many others). Peeing? Girls could get a point there, but even then they do have a tendency of going in groups to the lady's room. And guys...well they do it shoulder by shoulder.

So it is not only something we don't see, we don't speak about or mention. It is also the most solitary of all our daily actions. There, it's like a civilization free zone, because when you were little, they taught you how to make use of the toillet; and from there on, it was all your self learning. Whatever is that you do, there was nobody there ever to tell you that's not what people do, so for all you (and I mean we ALL) know, people make complete Catz routines while sitting there. Because the only rule is to not make a sound.

How many things can you do without making a sound?

Do you think? do you imagine? draw? paint, write, dance, work out, act, cry, fill college aplications?

What do you do with your civilization-and-rule-free time?


I hope not just waiting to come out... that would be such a loss of a huge realization.
