Insanity
I dont know how many of us there are out there, but Im talking to people that feel like they dont quite fit in with the rest of society. We walk around with our so called peers not understanding their motivations or even their speech. We didnt watch last nights American Idol, we dont want plastic surgery, its not our life long ambition to control other human beings for our own personal amusement. No one is safe from the avalanche of insanity that faces you the moment you wake up in the morning. If you turn on the T.V. youre guaranteed to get a lot of it in a hurry. Whether its the news telling you how the world is ending, the commercials telling you how you can fulfill your life with their product, or the insulting programming they have deemed entertainment.
When did insulting people become the best way to sell a product? Hey look at this moron he doesnt know about our product! Not to be outdone now we have cheetos commercials, fucking cheetos commercials telling you to eat their product and ruin peoples laundry. Lets not forget these ridiculous beer commercials where the guy gets killed because he does something thats considered unmanly. I want to see them up that a notch and start killing them for even less. You know like a yawn, an ironed shirt, or any complaint of pain at all, until theres only one stoic neanderthal left. You have to be stoic to enjoy the crap beer theyre selling.
Maybe some of this is Bushs fault. I mean when youve got a proud idiot as your president it must have some effect on the rest of the society. Who knows how many chubby chicks got extra attention during the Clinton era. When a happy moron is your representative it just sets a bad example for everyone. I dont want to just pick on the conservatives here because theyre not the only nut jobs out there, and lets face it you sort of have to respect someone whose basic philosophy is Im more important than you and really dont care about anyone but myself. A lot of so called liberals feel the same way but instead of being honest about it they put a save the wildlife bumper sticker on the back of their SUV.
As we move further into the post literate society I have to think that the T.V.s hold over our society can only grow stronger. I dont think technology is evil, T.V. is not inherently bad, but the people that run it are. I wouldnt invite Rupert Murdoch into my living room. I just dont feel that billionaires have my best interest at heart. Im pretty sure that they only want me to buy their products and their philosophy. I cant even imagine a truly controversial program being on a network. Tuesday night on Fox, tune in for a new episode of Bob loves Jack. This week Jack discovers that Bob got blown in the bathroom of the gay club last week. Just cant picture that. Thursday on NBC, hes the Asian Archie Bunker, Yosuke Matsimoto. This week Yosuke and his barely legal white girlfriend get in trouble with the police as they have a wild party at their apartment complex. I dont think Coke wants to be associated with those programs. We like are Asians whacky, and our gays funny, and non sexual. Just once it wouldve been nice to see Will grind against some guy as Grace looked on with tears in her eyes.
I think of this mass hysteria as a zombie outbreak. Its growing at such a rapid rate it really cant be stopped. The best part of it is that its really me thats insane. I mean if everyone starts setting themselves on fire and I dont. Well that makes me a deviant. Its actually okay, if people can just put me in the crazy box it saves us both the pain and frustration of me trying to actually explain why I think the way I do. If youre an atheist you dont engage in a debate about which animals went on the Ark. Sometimes the gap is just too big. If someone asks me for change for a dollar and I try to give them four quarters and they say, no I want change for a dollar, thats the end of the conversation. Im not going to get out paper and a mathbook. Youve got to pick your battles. So its your world crazy people, Im just living in it. Please dont burn me at the stake, but if you do, dont make me watch Flavor of Love as I burn.

I think I had quite possibly the worst hangover of my entire life today.
Hope you're having a fabulous week
