Why (do) I Bother Writing

Nobody reads my  blog, let’s face it, I don’t write for anyone but myself.  If you are reading this you are either close to me personally or you accidentally arrived at this page and are looking for a reason to leave.  This is it:  Nobody cares what I write, what I think or about any solutions that I have.  Why?  Everyone is too wrapped up in their own worries and solutions.  I don’t blame you for it – that’s just how it is.  That was your excuse to leave the page.  Go for it.

Since nobody reads my blog I may stop writing articles and just write down random thoughts about this or that.  For instance this “Kim Kardashian” chick…why does anyone care about her?  Is it because her step-dad is Bruce Jenner?  Is it because she is the junior representative for sluttiness?  I mean if you ignore her many physical flaws she is semi-cute, but she has the look of someone with a whiny bad attitude who is used to getting her way.  Not someone I really give a damn about and I can’t figure out why anyone else does – except her immediate family.

The natural flow of that thought prompts me to remind the reader (me) that television not only sucks, but it is very destructive to thought processes.  People who watch tv a lot seem to be more willing to let other people make the choices for them.  They have a tendency to like the “pitchmen” and believe that what they say is the truth or they couldn’t say it.  It isn’t always the shows on tv that turn your mind to mush, it’s the ADVERTISING.  Advertisements are like the little lies everyone tells:  They only need to contain one truth and the rest can be half truths or allusions to half truths and they get away with it.  Advertising is the great satan in this country if you ask me…or rather, believing advertisements is the great satan.

Iran, sorry to rip off your buzz phrase, but I need it for a minute.  You see, this country, this world and all it’s problems are created by you.  Ok, me since I’m the only one that reads this.  I created all the problems…War, Rape, non-nutritional cardboard breakfast cereal.  I created all of them by buying into the bullshit I was fed on TV!  Do you really need to eat cereal in the morning?  Is it really a cornerstone of a healthy breakfast?   No, of course that’s bullshit.  They take wheat, remove all the nutrients, bleach it, spray some nutrients back on it and turn it into breakfast cereal.  Bread is the enemy in your diet, people…for breakfast you need to have a little meat, some eggs and grab a piece of toast…leave the cereal and drink a glass of milk.  The great satan (advertising) created the need for expensive worthless cereal and we have kept it alive for half a century.  It’s bad for you and we love it.

Pitch men, whether selling cereal, some new device or politics are always going to lie to you.  There may be a modicum of half truth to their pitch, but it’s result is to sway you into doing something you would have thought was stupid a few minutes ago.

You know that most tv pitchmen share similar traits to politicians?  They think way too much of themselves, run towards cocaine abuse, think they’re above the law, etc.

They are like that because they listened to other pitchmen’s bullshit until they believed what they were saying.  I imagine that Kim Kardashian’s parents and family must have told her how special she was about a million times growing up and now she believes it…the helluvit is that you believe it too!

The matrix is real/we are the matrix.  Reality is illusory.  Take a hundred story skyscraper and remove all the empty space from between the atoms that comprise it and it would look like a hundred million pound grain of brown rice.  We are, we live and exist in holograms.  Quantum mechanics is a lovely philosophy…it reads like the worlds best science fiction.  What I like about it is that it cuts through the brown sloggy stuff and gets to reality…which is an illusion.  Then quantum mechanics proves it is an illusion with mathematics and throws the results in your face like Billy Mays.  And that’s not all you get.

Most people think quantum mechanics is voodoo, and they would of course be right because reality is voodoo.
