    Sometimes on my drive home from work I see a person with catear headphones
    that glow with blue led light. This is early in the morning since I work
    nights. First time I saw this person I thought it was a ghost, then I
    looked again and realized that's stuppa because its clearly a CIA agent who
    needs to be ran over, finally I realized it was just a person with glowing
    headphones. They seemed to be walking to the tracks station which was near
    by. While my work day was ending their school or work day was just
    starting. Completely mirrored schedules we are on. Seen them a few times
    since.
    <br /><br />
    Funny that I observed someones existence but they likely haven't observed
    mine. I wonder what people have observed my existence without me being
    aware. Everything known about strangers being observed can only be
    assumed. It's too dark for me to even have a clue what their gender is and
    can only assume their age based on their outline. Any detail about them I
    simply don't know. I wonder what my outline in the dark looks like. The
    level we know people is shown this way. How well do the people in your life
    actually know you? If not much do you really think you know them any
    better? Everyone is a stranger pretending to be close friends and family.
    <br /><br />
    The greatest social issue of this time is not everyone knows their
    neighbors. Glowing headphone person seems to live close based on context
    yet I don't know them. I don't know my next door neighbors. On my own time
    there are only two people I hang out with ever. Sure, I am more on the
    extreme end but this is a common thing. Barely anyone knows their
    neighbors. This enables alienation which prevents the working class from
    rising up leaving power unchecked. You can go out of your way to try to
    meet people but they will just run. More people need to open up for things
    to start moving.

    <b>Jazz is good for the tortured geist. It's chaotic black magic can show
    how to travel into the surreal, dark, and confusing realms of the
    mind. That is what it means to be cool. That is the lesson of
    absurdism.</b>
