The Human Ideal

This list is composed of things that I've deduced are the qualities expected of a person from Employers, Teachers, Religions, and others combined.

-Does not drink
-Does not smoke
-Does not have impure thoughts
-Does not fool around
-Observes perfect eating habits
-Accepts and completes all objectives given to him or her
-Does not complain nor expresses discontent
-Is always cordial and respectful, even in the face of adversity
-Excercises regularly
-Saves themselves for marriage
-Does not watch Reality Television
-Does not watch Television in general
-Gives time to non-profit organizations
-Recycles
-Does not sleep in or stay up late, observing a consistant sleep schedule
-Is always on time, with zero margin for error
-Has endurance to withstand being on his or her feet for hours at a time
-Does not question the intentions or orders of his or her superiors
-Does not play video games
-Is available at all hours should anything need be done
-Observes the rules, and follows them to the letter

This, as far as I figured, is the ideal human being in terms of human society. Polite. Hard working. Sterile. Subordinate.

The perfect human is a machine.

Dreaming it.

My brother tends to annoy me when it comes to his dreams. Usually, his dreams involve foreign countries invading Arizona (and only Arizona mind you, we're apparently all that matters) and beating the shit out of me. One time, North Korea pulled up alongside me, kidnapped me, beat the living hell out of me and made me walk home from Superior...Like I wouldn't have stopped to use a phone in Superior.
I got mad at him eventually and forbade him from falling asleep watching the History channel.

My dreams are far more whimsical and fun. I dream of saving a group of tiny victorian people from an old man in a cape. Or exploring a London that looks a lot like Puerto Penasco, Mexico. Or, my favorite, tracking a jewel thief from Coolige, Arizona, to somewhere out in the middle of the desert, to an abandoned train depot...and suddenly ninjas.

Now which would you rather have? Grim and unnecessary foreign invasion dreams,or wild adventures with ninjas? Choose wisely.
