Ever been in a situation where you feel like an alien of sorts?
 

I spent Christmas with my flatmate and his family. His family are older folk of about 70. They aren't at all dumb and are still very alert and active but live in a small town and live their own life and not much from the outside world in any real depth. So, when I woke up on Christmas morning, turned on my radio and found out that James Brown died I mentioned it over breakfast since in my world that is rather big news. They looked at me blankly and didn't really know he was. Eventually his mother asked me if he went by the stage name 'little Richard'. They are good people I just felt like I was a visitor from a different planet.

sure, i had one of those this christmas but it was a different situation, you sometimes meet a bunch of people you just cant connect with as theyre on a different wavelength

happens all the time

nobody can get on with everyone

Do you ever feel like you just landed
On this earth?
See the creatures all do their dances
Back and forth
You get restless and then you join them
On the floor
Suddenly it's tomorrow
It's not today anymore
You talk to the ceiling every day
The speakers are shaking
Why do i hear you okay?
They're playing soul at the wrong speed
It sounds right now
What are you doing to me?
D'you ever feel like what we call real life
Is not so real?
Tripping up on the same old problems
You had last year
Well we'll pretend it's another planet
Not so uptight
The stars are shining above the city
Every night
They come every night

Sometimes!!!

Life generally makes me feel that way.

Pretty much all the time.

Walking down the street as a white guy in Lagos, Nigeria was one time. Also when I had finished beating up a mugger in a backstreet in Nairobi and I turned around to see about 20 locals staring at me....

Both times I felt pretty alien.

All the time ;)

time really flies...
and we have different generations to cope up with...
so just stay stuck...

"American in London" alien or "pornographer at a republican convention" alien?

Ive been at many a Republican convention. What you meant to say was a leftwing nut at a republican convention? :winkwink: :1orglaugh

the first is my every day life...the second is how I feel when I visit my parents

My father taught me to never make the mistake of using myself as an example of normal. I'm passing this advice along to you.

story of my life

Sometimes I feel like an alien, but then I remember this is MY planet and YOU are the aliens.
