So I was sitting here thinking about things people do that doesn't make sense. The one thing that stuck out to me was how people speak to people just because it's the polite thing to do if you know someone. It's like if you've had a conversation before or hung out then it's the proper thing to do to say Hi. This escalates into a more awkward situation when you were once friends with someone and you guys aren't friends anymore. Then not only are you passing by someone you know, but it's someone you once knew really well so it's like you're obligated to speak and say more than "Hi." So what do you say?

Well this is the point at which I realized that I'm a tool to pointless cultural norms like speaking to people. I am reminded of the little things people use in "small talk." Small talk is stupid because if you don't have anything interesting or important or even genuine to talk to someone about, maybe you shouldn't be talking to them. One of the topics pretty high on the "Small Talk" list is the weather. And guess what I realized. That's the only thing I mention to certain people when I really don't have much to say to them. It's like after saying Hi, I feel compelled to say more when there's actually nothing to say! How wack is that!?

So I've decided that if I don't have anything to say besides Hi, the only thing I'm going to say is Hi. No more fakeness or forced interaction. Our society's waay too social. Half the time I bet people dont want to talk to you any more than you want to talk to them so lets just say "Hey" and keep it moving.
