Is a life of dull conformity the only possible reality?

Unless you live under a totalitarian government, or are in prison, there's nothing really stopping you from doing what ever the hell you want with your life.
i like to do stuff that makes the mindless masses confused. i give my dogs odd names like 'the jerk', and 'caca rotten'. i wear bowling shoes on the street. i ask random stengers, "got any Dokken?".
if you're not having any fun in life, it's no ones fault but your own.
walk that waalk, talk that talk, and do what you gotta do, but fix that sink.

Read the book. Life is what you make of it, what you want it to be. Don't let anyone else tell you other wise. For me, it's corn.
Maize can also be harvested and consumed in the unripe state, when the kernels are fully grown but still soft. Unripe maize must usually be cooked to become palatable; this may be done by simply boiling or roasting the whole ears and eating the kernels right off the cob. Such corn on the cob is a common dish in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and some parts of South America, but virtually unheard of in some European countries. The cooked unripe kernels may also be shaved off the cob and served as a vegetable in side dishes, salads, garnishes, etc. Alternatively, the raw unripe kernels may also be grated off the cobs and processed into a variety of cooked dishes, such as maize purée, tamales, pamonhas, curau, cakes, ice creams, etc. Sweetcorn, a genetic variety that is high in sugars and low in starch, is usually consumed in the unripe state.
Corn on the cob, as it is usually called in the United States, was hawked on the streets of early 19th-century New York City by poor, barefoot "Hot Corn Girls", who were thus the precursors of hot-dog carts, churro wagons, and fruit stands seen on the streets of big cities today.[27]

Maize is a major source of starch. Cornstarch (maize flour) is a major ingredient in home cooking and in many industrialized food products. Maize is also a major source of cooking oil (corn oil) and of maize gluten. Maize starch can be hydrolyzed and enzymatically treated to produce syrups, particularly high fructose corn syrup, a sweetener; and also fermented and distilled to produce grain alcohol. Grain alcohol from maize is traditionally the source of bourbon whiskey. Maize is sometimes used as the starch source for beer.

To be honest, OP, I'd say you're just whining about what you can and can't change in your life. Instead of focusing on what you want to change, just focus on what you have and can change. I mean, is it that hard to just accept some things for the way they are? However, for some of us, it actually is, it's a truth that's held by the majority of some people who look for something more than the complacent warmth of their homes and for something unobtainable by their standards. They are unsatisfied with life.
So why not change it?
First things first though, change yourself a bit.
Take a five minute break and leave yourself with your thoughts, and I'm sure there would be something more than the monotonous tick-tock of everyday life.

i thought of more non-conformist things to do.
get drunk and go to the mall, make fun of the posers who shop at hot topic, pacific sun and any othe stores there. the best one ever was a surf shop in a land locked state. hours of mocking with out having to walk around.
catalog/mannequin poses while standing on the corner or waiting for the bus. some of my favorites include: jacket over the shoulder, point and smile, checking watch, thoughtful chin grip.
i had anotherearlier today, but i forget what it was now. i'll post more later as i remeber them.
