The lump is sleeping.

The mind is spinning around at the same time as it feels compleately empty. Can the mind ever be totally empty? nah, i doubt that. The lump is so tired that it hurts, and trollet is starring at Dr.Phil. Bloody Dr.Phil, he is here again taking over trollet's life. The lump was on its way to the gym when the mind stopped it, saying nah, don't go, don't stress, stay home and relax. The trollet thought, hey, yes, why not, then she could clean.. ha ha what a joke. Did trollet ever clean up the flat? No, defenitely not. The flat looks like a tornado would have taken a fast turn on this side of the planet.

The mind was thinking about travelling last night. The world keeps getting smaller, is it shrinking? well, you can basically go anywhere in the world (few exceptions) for a small amount of money, and this amount is getting smaller and smaller thanks to this fucked up capitalistic society. One could think trollet would think it is great that it is cheap to fly to the other side of the world, but she does not. Tourism exploits, and it exploits badly. Yes, many countries are depending on tourism but actually it is the larger capitalistic companies that profit the most from it. People and nations are starting to behave according to what tourists want and "need". Media, tv, shows pretty much everywhere in the world the rich, "happy" beautiful, successful western individual that makes people think that is the goal to reach. Is it? Defenitely not. People in the west are getting more and more mentally fucked up.. uuh, how is this possible? We, that are so rich, happy and beautiful shouldn't be sad. Why is it this system the one that other nations should strive for, the ones we call primitive. Some are on the right path, to be just like us. Well, apparently the system doesn't work. Blaming the system or the society doesn't work either, as we are the society. So what to do? Not an easy question. Trollet would say that first of all we need to wake up and start thinking and not be so bloody materialistic. Tourism in itself doesn't necessarily need to be so bad. Said before, many countries depend on it, but still only recieve a small % of the total income. This needs to be changed. The influence tourists have on local poeple can though be very bad. Well okey, bad acccording to who? Trollet? This is a question that could be discussed for hours and from fifty perspectives, but the main point, i quess, is to not stop thinking about these things and take it all for granted. Why is it so, that just because we are from the north we have all rights to travel to basically every country in the world and get inspiration for our art and our mental well being, when other people don't even get permission to enter our country. That says, not all, but a lot.
