'I'll have the usual'

'I'll have the usual'
Every morning i get an opportunity to see the same people on the same bus at the same time. Everyday i see the same people doing the exact same thing as the day before. This one girl stands in the same place faceing the same direction... And prob comes at the same time. I generally know if people are front or rear sitters, hell i wouldnt be surprised if they took the same seat. Basically most everyone in the planet falls into a stale routine.
My routine in hue morning? I generally dont stand in the same place, but i usually end up walking around randomly. Then i observe. Observe people trying to- be cool, avoid eye contact, avoid staring at the hot girl. Whatev. Hmm... Based on what i do people prob think i am someone that belongs in the loony bin.
Anyway i wonder why we all get stuck in this rut. I understand getting to the bus on time, but the little things like sitting in the same seat or standing in the same place? Arent we the superior animal with a brain and the freedom of well ... Freedom!
I think my routine revolves around the quote 'the nail that sticks out gets hammered'. I think i unconcintsly plan my life around blending into the walls. I mean think about it. I never stand in the same place, sit somewhere in the middle (not just on the bus), i wear lots of solid color clothes. I find that lots of people know me, but dont really know much about me. Girls see me, but dont recognize me. I am just the invisible man.
The question is... Are we so blind to our daily routine that we cant change it? Or are we so uncomfortable with the unknown that we refuse to change it?
I think people who break free from the cycle are often successful. Apple is all about out of the box thinking. Peter bronson (virgin guy) def knows how to spice it up. Even clutch athletes they dont fear the uncertainty, they dont want to take a normal shot or throw a normal pass. They crave more.
Maybe some day i will break my cycle. Maybe i wont. All that i can really say is that every day will bring a new opportunity to try.
