searching for inspiration

on the "internets" searching for inspiration to write. lecture. impose an opinion about human nature. humans fascinate me! is it because i am unhuman? no. it has become my nature to watch people. scrutinize what people say and do. i people watch. i listen. eaves drop. i enjoy it so much! what a place to do what i love. the bart. walking in the city. work. there is so much material, its ridiculous. i have nothing that is fresh from the streets of SF, but i have something from this place from which i write. its free running. its another so called "extreme sport" where people run around and jump off of things. roof top to the ground. jump steps. its an urban sport using the environment to play. well for some reason this so called "sport" is now getting national attention. there is a group of "free runners" touring the nation with a free running course to teach people about the sport. touring college campuses.. it even has its own shoe. its OWN SHOE PEOPLE! here buy this shoe and you can jump and run of shit just like me.... maybe even jump off a building and break your ass! for some reason it is considered an "extreme sport". (are you enjoying the quotation marks and exclamation points today?) this is the thing that fascinates me. creating a sport from nothing. considering it a "art form" because you can run and jump off of building and not get hurt. some may say, "well trick, why don't you try it.... you are just making fun of it b/c you cannot do it." lets be clear. if i wanted to do it, yes i would. it does not seem appealing. my point here is that i can appreciate it, but its hilarious to consider this thing people do an "extreme sport" or "an art form". for years i considered my fly fishing an art form. its not an art form, its something i can do with my eyes closed. with enough practice, the thing you love to do comes with ease. do you need your own "capitalist" shoe to do so? it cracks me up to think some guy in a cubical thought it would be a great idea to create a shoe for "extreme running." damn. why didn't i think of that?
