Does anyone else's life stay 99% the same day after day?

So here I am at work being 0% productive and starting at Bora Bora travel packages for my too-distant honeymoon hopes and realized that every single day I wake sleepy, wear one of 7 outfits, drive the same route to the same place and work the same hours (and do the same things while I'm there). Then, I drive the same route home and either a) watch a movie, b)play CS:S, or c) take a long nap (sometimes a mixture).

I talk on the phone to a few friends every now and then, and I spend about an hour talking to my lady that's 3 hours away during the summer (school, work, distance, bah humbug) and that's it. Day after day's the same. I basically live the week just to be alive on the weekends when I go see my woman. It's 2 days of bliss then another 5 days work to get another 2 days. I see these exotic location pictures and just want to get away from everything...

So sign your name below if your daily life is way too boring and you need a radical escape for an extended period of time.

CLIFFS:
1) everyday is the same, sleep, work, movie, repeat
2) I pay my dues for 5 days to enjoy 2 (weekends)
3) sign below if you need a crazy long vacation to a remote part of the world

yeah, get used to it, your part of the machine. you can break out if you want, but its not easy, then there is ofcourse the 60 day rule. thats now long it takes a person to starve to death. i wanna break out, but i'm to scared. if i ever get the balls i'll let you know.

Listen to the song "Everyday Is Exactly The Same" by Nine Inch Nails.


I believe I can see the future
As I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again
That might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
Now i never make a sound
I just do what I've been told
I really don't want them to come around again

Oh, no

[Chorus]
Everyday is exactly the same
Everyday is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Everyday is exactly the same

I can feel thier eyes are watching
In case I loose myself again
Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I can't remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end

[Chorus]

I'm writing on a little piece of paper
I'm hoping someday you might find
I'll hide it behind something
They won't look behind
I am still inside here
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
But I just don't know- I don't know what else I can do!

[Chorus]

its facts like these that make me never want to have kids

like what was said above, why breed just to add to "the machine" or if they're just going to grow up to be mindless sheep?

Work Song by Caroline's Spine is better:

It's another early morning, sun came up without a warning
Never do nothing til I'm showered and clean
I got my pager, got my cuffs, a matching tie should be enough
I never leave the house without something to eat

Early riser by genetic, take the stairs 'cause I'm athletic
Always at the office before anyone else
I take my faxes to be copied, grab a donut, grab some coffee
Picture my diploma sitting on my shelf

And the monotony is killing me
And I try to deny this corporate lobotomy



I need a suit of armor for a meeting, know I'm gonna take a beating
Understaffed and my department's in a crunch
Budget has become a hassle, boss is ripping me a new asshole
Says he wants an answer on his desk before lunch

Afternoon things don't look better, phone machine is breaking records
Five hundred messages from who knows where
Stayin' late 'cause I'm a beginner, call my girlfriend cancel dinner
Says she thinks I'm having an office affair

And the montony is killing me
And I try to deny this corporate lobotomy

The end of the day, there's no solution, face the traffic and pollution
Put a smile on my face, I didn't get fired
Back at home to clear my head, I grab a drink fall into bed
Forty more years until I get to retire

And the montony is killing me
And I try to deny this corporate lobotomy

Yeah, they're mostly the same, but it doesn't bother me. It's like yelling at the weather, won't do you any good anyhow.
Seek inner peace.
Failing that, there's always mind-altering drugs :)

And as for my lyrical contribution...

:music:
Up every mornin just to keep a job
I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob
Sounds of the city poundin in my brain
While another day goes down the drain

But its a five oclock world when the whistle blows
No one owns a piece of my time
And theres a five oclock me inside my clothes
Thinkin that the world looks fine, yeah

Tradin my time for the pay I get
Livin on money that I aint made yet
Ive been goin tryin to make my way
While I live for the end of the day

Cuz its a five oclock world when the whistle blows
No one owns a piece of my time, and
Theres a long-haired girl who waits, I know
To ease my troubled mind, yeah
oh my lady, yeah
oh my lady, yeah
In the shelter of her arms everythings OK
When she talks then the world goes slippin away
And I know the reason I can still go on
When every other reason is gone,

In my five oclock world she waits for me
Nothing else matters at all
Cuz every time my baby smiles at me
I know thats its all worthwhile,
yeah oh my lady,
yeah oh my lady, yeah
:music:

Yeah I mean I have inner peace. I love my fiancee-to-be with all my heart and esentially love is the only thing worth living for.

I mean I'm only 20, but I've been blessed (or cursed?) with a veryyy good paying internship but I mean the routine blows donkey nuts. It sucks that life will be this way forever. I tell ppl now to enjoy high school. Because now, even college starts downhill. I'm taking online courses AND working 40 a week.

Like I said without the love from my family (great family), my woman, and God I certainly would rather be dead. The only thing that keeps me going in the week is the hope I have for feeling that love once more when I return home.
