Normal is Worthless

So many people walk through their day to day lives twitching with banality; work and love in such predictable ways it often would seem so comical were it ever faced with a mirror. What do people expect  of you…fitting in? But the best of men seek new kinds of experiences pleasurable to only the individual who experiences them and not to the masses he may thrust his story on in order to feel important, special, normal, human. Living in such a rigid state of life is comforting but cowardice. It's too easy to do what life expects of you…than to surprise it and yourself by stepping out onto a limb. But surprises are often the best things life can show us. I'd rather spend my nights with raving loons howling at the moon who have the gaul to call themselves artists…than spent one moment with someone who would dare to have the gaul to call themselves normal. Because normal is in fact one of those few words in the English language that has such a vague definition, different to each person that speaks the word, and diluted down so much it might as well serve English better not even existing at all. It's worthless. It's funny how in my 26 years of life I've yet to met a single classifiable normal person. 

normal |ˈnôrməl|

adjective

1 conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected : it's quite normal for puppies to bolt their food | normal working hours.

• (of a person) free from physical or mental disorders.

We all have our little twitches. And I find it even more absurd that puppies bolting to food is the dictionary (on my computer's) example of what it means to be normal. 

Even the people I know who try to be normal (all fail) some still indulge in creating their own hallucinations and madnesses . . . by doing drugs…so artificially twisting their own mind into something gaudy and unkempt to keep up with those whose minds do it naturally. It's a hilarious social game most people don't have the patience to observe.
