    "the end of all wanting, is all I've been wanting "

    I think about these lines a lot. Above the desire for some vague feeling of happiness in life, above all the pains of "purpose" and "meaning", I really think what I actually want out of life, is to simply not want anything else. I understand consumerism, I've watched adam curtis' documentary "the century of the self," I'd like to think of myself as a pretty dedicated socialist, but yet, I constantly find myself obsessing over things to buy. Books, vinyl records, used corduroy jeans, It's fucking inescapable. I pulled up to the gas station the other day, and the gas pump started playing me a commercial... I really don't know what to do anymore.
