Juzno: What is it
like to be young and free?
Eleanor: It sucks. Like
I want to grow up so I can do things my parents don’t want me to do.
Juzno: Like what?
Eleanor: Like travelling
around Europe, driving a car, and I also want to see Blue Oyster Cult in concert.
Juzno: I don’t think they
have played in years. What is your
perspective of the world?
Eleanor: Like sometimes
I wonder if the world is what I perceived it is. Or could it be that I am
watching something that has already occurred in the past? How do we know what
we know? How can we be sure? Maybe all of these are virtual realities that
exist only in some ethereal black box that transcends time and space.
Juzno: That is so
heavy. Baruch Spinoza?
Eleanor: No, Winnie
the Pooh.
Juzno: What do you
think of Television?
Eleanor: Like it’s a
full time job watching television. I’m
not into what people watch in television.
Most of them are so jejune.
Juzno: Another heavy
terminology. You must have read a lot of
books.
Eleanor: Not
really. Like I'm more into Tumblrs.
Juzno: Has Facebook become
irrelevant?
Eleanor: Definitely. Like people on Facebook are
self-absorbed. It’s all about selfies,
me, and mine. People don’t have serious
convictions. Like all they do is copy
and paste stuff from cyberspace, and pretend they are in the know like pompous
penguins. I’m rarely inspired when I
read their posts. They are quite
pathetic. Like nothing is original.
Juzno: What is
original?
Eleanor: Like in
order to define original, one has to define what isn’t.
Juzno: Okay. What isn't original?
Eleanor: Like X-men,
Walking Dead Series, Socialism, Wall Street, PETA, Global Warming – and so on.
Juzno: And what about
original?
Eleanor: Like Muhammad
Ali – now he’s original. Folks like Sugar Ray
Leonard, Usher and Will Smith all ripped off from Ali. Even Obama borrows a lot from him.
Juzno: Didn’t know
you knew so much about human events.
Eleanor: It
depends. Like we all have an opinion of
something. We may know so many things
and yet we can be so ignorant about all of them.
Juzno: You’re from
California, aren’t you?
Eleanor: Like why you would say that?
Juzno: Like you said…
