Being human is just constant admin. Register this, fill out that, contact the business or person. I long to just exist outside of all of the noise. Put my shoes on and just walk the fields and Downs. Survey the ocean and stand in the salty breeze. Lay in a meadow and splash in a stream. Howl in the moonlight and weep against a tree. Make friends with a badger. Form an alliance with the birds. Go to war against the snakes. Create a new religion with the dirt folk. Lose my mind and smile at the sun as I fly away to a lost continent. Transubstantiate into a being of pure energy and beam myself throughout the cosmos. Drift past the observable universe and discover a new place where matter and physics no longer exist. Join with the universe and become god. Instead I have to do my stupid little emails.

@TheBreadmonkey In all seriousness you can capture the feeling of at least half of this by simply re-reading The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Graham (http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/27805)
Mr Badger is scary at first but very kind. Say hello for me.

Toot toot!

@chris @TheBreadmonkey Oh! I'd forgotten "The Wind in The Willows." I was thinking Ben wanted to make friends with an actual badger, which.. seems like a plan for self-harm.

@Fishercat @chris

Oh no I definitely do

@Fishercat @chris

I will raise a badger army the likes of which this world has never seen

@TheBreadmonkey @chris That's pretty terrifying.. badgers are badasses.
