Life or a dream


* Falls Asleep *
Have you ever wondered why life was created? or are you to busy on your phone to realize that life is a wonderful thing that we all take for granted. It's ok if you take life for granted everyone does me included I never use to think about the fact that I could die at any minute at any time till I got into a bad car crash were I saw my life flash before my eyes. Ever since that day I've been living life like I'm going to die tomorrow and I won't change a thing about it.

But I bring this point up because in this great book called "FEED" everyone is blind by there feed which is just like are phones. It's crazy how they act they are to busy focusing on what's hit they never focus on what's going on all around them in there environment, or everyday lives. 

Let's start with the environment Titus say's on page 179 "We had are suits on so we wouldn't smell it" he also says on the same page "We watched it move around it was dead but colorful." like are you kidding me last time I checked I don't wear a suit so I can't smell the sea, also I know for a fact the sea is alive. But what M.T. Anderson Is trying to get at is that we are blind to what is happening to the environment. All we are concerned about is if we can get the new IPhone or the car we want. As long as we get these things we could care less what we kill along the way. If you think I'm lying lets take the rainforest for a example. The rainforest is getting cut down at a very rapidly rate and we are doing nothing about it, we just turn a check to it and go on with are lives like nothing is happing.        

Everyone now of days are so focused on social media they never take the time to go out and do something physical. Kids now are days are the worst with this. My 7 year cousin would rather play on his iPad then going out and playing football with his friends. But I can't act like it's only kids that do this we as a society are so busy on are phones that we never take a break from what we are doing to enjoy life. It's like we are all in the movie matrix and the computers are running are lives. We have to step back from the virtual reality to look at reality.

In "Feed" everyone is so busy trying to have all the up to date crap they never really enjoyed there life. Yes even thought they go to parties and scramble there feeds. They are just doing all that stuff  because it's hip and up to date. like on page 158 Calista and Loga show up in torn up clothes just because the corporations made a riot that happened hip.Violet is the only one that actually is living her life not focus on her feed. She try's to tell Titus to open his eye's and look at the world around him. But Titus is to brain washed to his feed and can't wake up from the dream this dream he is living.

In fact Titus doesn't open his eyes for a while after he dumps violet. You can bring up the point that Titus dumped Violet because she's dying and he wants something new like her life is a out dated iPhone. I feel Tittus opens his eyes to the fact, life can end at any time when he comes back to see Violet after getting a massage from her dad saying she's doing very bad. When he see's Violet he's crushed inside and what Violets dad says on page 292 hits him hard when he blames Tittus saying "he's the reason his daughter is dying."

I guess what I'm trying to say here is stop living in this dream that every thing in your life is ok because every dream has to end. I just hope this blog has expanded your mind in the way you look at things in life. If you don't care and you think I'm crazy and your just going to keep living this lie that is your life. That's cool all I have to say is wait till something happens and your whole life flashes before your eyes. To all the people that got a reality check from this blog I'm happy I could change the way you look at things. To all my fans I'm sorry but this will be my last ever blog I'm retiring from the game it's been real.
