When I was younger - I always used to wish I could be in someone elses body. Not be able to control them, but just watch and observe from the inside what they do. I would do this by looking at them, while I was at school - walking down the street. My body would keep on doing what it was doing. It was almost like I was linking the other persons eyes and ears into my brain. I still did my thing, they still did theirs. After a few years, I never really desired to do anything like that - I was reminded about this fantasy tonight.

I decided to rent a movie - there really isn't anything on Tuesday nights. I was going to rent "Boiler Room", which I have already seen - when something else caught my mind. "Being John Malkovitch" was sitting on the shelf right above "Boiler Room", I grabbed it - headed home and popped it in the VCR.

Fucking weird movie, no doubt about that. I can relate to it though. Although I never wanted to be John Malkovitch, nor did I ever want to control him (or anyone else). I think thats why I find people with webcams (I really hate that word) so interesting. They are letting me to see apart of their lives. Granted, not through their eyes and ears - but its the closest thing I will be able to get to being inside them.
