It’s only the 3rd day of the New Year and already I am wishing that I could escape for a little while. Since this morning, I have been thinking that I would really like to go on a vacation to a nice island and have no connection/interaction with the world. Yes, this does mean no phones and no internet. Normally, the concept of having no phone or internet sounds archaic; today, however, it holds a strange appeal. I envision myself sitting on a beach, in the shade of course, reading a book and just relaxing. No one is there to bother me or distract me. One only sees water for as far as the eye can see. The waves are calm and soothing thereby providing the peace and tranquility that is so often lost in the daily hustle and bustle of life. I can sleep in the sun for as long as I want and just laze around doing nothing.Alas, this is not to be as there is no such thing as escaping life but there is no harm in daydreaming about it and deciding how it would be if it could be.

Awww! Vacations are dandy, perhaps you can take one in future.
But as far as 'there is no such thing as escaping life' is a lie. There are many ways to escape - daydreaming is one, drugs are quite famous for doing so, drinking is also used sometimes. I also believe, but Jane has doubts, that meditation is also a method.
I suggest tossing turtles at strangers and laughing as if no power can stop/touch you. It will help you escape or when cops come your brain will cause 'self-escapism' in order to avoid accepting the catastrophe you have created.
Godspeed!
While I don't agree with your suggestion about tossing turtles, I will concur that you have a valid point in regards to using meditation as a method to escape.
I still believe taking a vacation will be the best approach.
