Man, I have no idea how we've arrived at the place that we're sitting inside. wtf is casually tattooed on the inner finger of countless starving waifs right next to their moustachioed index fingers. Convicted felons are looked up to in every facet of entertainment be it sports, music, movies or television. Young children have mobile phones and portable computers before the age of 13, some before they reach double-digits. Stores of convenience reign supreme with lures of cheap prices and instant gratification. National newspapers publish yellow journalism articles in place of real pertinent news and no one so much as bats an eye at it. National acceptance comes at the delivery of reality television and anything beyond that realm is simply insignificant.
I know there are people moving and changing our world in many cases rapidly and with great strides. I am lucky to say that i actually personally know a few of these people that work in the shadows of celebrity, both thankless and penniless. i know that writing these silly words that no one will read means virtually nothing but I hope, I hope that it's not too presumptuous of me to think that there are others very similar to myself that think perhaps there is a better way and if we all focus a little bit of our energy towards the greater good we can solve some important problems. Perhaps we can actually think ahead and be proactive, maybe not simply worry about the next 4 years, but rather the long haul.
I have no idea why i am even writing these words. Tomorrow, some celebrity will do something ridiculous and our entire country will not only know about it, but have a strong opinion and spend large amounts of money to stay abreast of every single inane development.
There will come a time when the dumb stop ruling the smart. There has to be, or else there is no balance in the universe.
