I’m posting these to make sure I don’t ‘borrow’ the idea anytime soon. That was my plan. I’m pretty sure they’re by Mario Sorrenti. I’ve had these for some time in a folder that used to be labelled ‘references’ but recently I renamed it ‘ideas to rip off’. Just to remind me that that’s exactly what it would be: theft. Bad.

Apologies to Mr. Sorrenti if they aren’t his. Respect if they are.

Today, a friend told me the story of the dream he had last night.
It went like this:

In the future, medical science has solved the problem of aging, humans are immortal. The problem is that, everyone eventually becomes friends with everyone else, therefore the whole world becomes like a little village where everyone knows each other. So, the most precious thing in the world is a stranger. They are very rare. These underground clubs are set up, whose organizers put together people who don’t know each other. In these clubs, strangers can be together, but they have to obey one rule: they’re not allowed to speak or communicate in any way, they have to remain unknown. So, the greatest pleasure of immortals is to be with unknown immortals for a little while, on a saturday night, and not talk.

The bad days will end
and because we will end them
I say we put all our money together
get a big bottle of sangria
and just bash somebody in the fucking face with it
