Proud Parents

Your parents would be terribly disappointed if for your entire life, you just played a game, all the time, and never did anything with your life. If instead of going out and getting a job, working hard, helping other people in the world, you just threw a ball at a net, or kicked a ball, or hit a ball with a stick, your parents would be so ashamed that they would never talk about you to their friends.

Your parents would be ashamed that you do these pointless, frivolous activities, unless, of course, unless while you did this activity, people watched you do it, and paid money to watch you. That would not really change what the activity is at all, except that your parents would then be more proud than any other parents you know of.

You could do the most honourable acts of charity in existence, but if you don't make any money, then most parents would be more proud of the child who professionally kicks a ball at a net. If you explained this to a person who had never once seen the society we have created, they would probably laugh and say that you are lying. For some reason though, it is entirely true of our society.

I can't explain this. I don't know why people are like that, but it is completely true. I promise you that this is true. We could change this if we chose to, but for some reason, we don't choose to. It is not the worst quality of mainstream society even, but it is one that we should feel great shame for. It definitely helps to get us to the broken mess that we are baffled to find ourselves in.

This One Goes out to the Ones Above

I understand if people don't believe that any other life forms exist in the universe. I still think those people are idiots for their beliefs, but I comprehend what is believed. I imagine that these people can be grouped together with folks who insist that the planet earth is only five hundred years old. Oh, sorry, five thousand? Oh, ok...five thousand, much more logical.

I guess  it is obvious that I believe there is other life in, not only in the universe, but this very galaxy that we call the milky way. I think it is much more ridiculous to believe that we are the only ones than to believe that there are an infinite number of other life forms out there.

Someone who can believe there is no other life out there, must have never looked at the stars before, and realized every one of those stars is bigger than our favourite star we call the sun. We should have just called it "the star", so people would never forget that's what it is.

So if, one of these other species came to visit our planet, and for some reason let us know that they were arriving, then it is almost certain that our mentally handicapped governments who wage war on other humans, would wage war on them. As proud as the human military is with its killing ability, it would stand no chance against a species who can travel solar systems.

Hollywood movies love to show that humans are always the inevitable champions, but seriously, we've not even been able to make it to another planet in our own solar system. We are a primitive little species. We would not even be a nuisance to eradicate for the beings advanced enough to make it here. They could simply end our whole population with a single thought; because that is the ultimate achievement past button pushing.

I don't think that aliens want to take over this planet though, like is depicted in every piece of alien fiction. They started off with a life giving planet, and they evolved past the need for farming, and fresh water, and entertainment. The "final frontier", as I will have to borrow from Gene Roddenbury, is research, and education, and travel.

Luckily for us, I don't think any life form advanced enough for intergalactic travel would want anything to do with us, or our dirty little planet. If Earth was ever visited by aliens, then our government who is killing so many humans already, would quickly get the whole planet killed as they declare war on the ultra advanced beings.

So, in dedication to all of the extra terrestrials in existence, I just want you to know, I have much more respect for you than I do for the humans. Especially you aliens who can absorb all of our language information on all media automatically. You guys are my favourites.       * winkey face

Hong Kong Farter

One time when I had to stay in the Hong Kong airport for like 8 hours, there was a girl in there doing the same thing. A discussion arose between us about where we were from and where we were going. It turned out that she was from Germany, and if I recall correctly, she was going to Singapore. What stood out to me was that as we were having our casual discussion, she let out a long, comical sounding fart. I almost grinned and even laughed, because I can’t deny that farts are hilarious. Without any reaction whatsoever, from her, I lost my confidence to show my amusement. She was not going to openly react to this event, and because of that, I was not going to either.

In the next twenty minutes or so, she let out around ten more farts. I am still impressed with myself for holding in my reaction. I feel like I reached a certain level of maturity that I never really expected to reach. If I was the subject of a hidden camera show, then they would not have been able to use that footage, because my self control was so strong that it implied I didn’t even hear the farts.

So…that was really weird. 

Pee UP a Girl?

I remember back when I was a kid, if I liked a girl, I would think to myself, "boy, I sure would like to lie underneath a blanket with her". There was nothing further that I wished to perform. Just lying with her underneath a blanket was the fantasy. I was so very innocent as a child.

Now other kids had different thoughts than me. My friend once told me how Rob V. asked the teacher in class, what would happen if you pee'd "up" a girl. I imagine the rest of the boys in the class were all questioning what he means by "up". I think the majority of us assumed the vagina was similar to the belly button. We would just say in, not up.

I imagine he was more familiar with the female anatomy because he had liberal sisters, who seemed quite sexual.

The Price of Happiness

Some people will be working a job they hate, in a place that makes them miserable for their entire lives, but if a doctor tells them they have six months to live, they quit their job, and move to a tropical paradise to be happy for that small remainder of time. By doing that, they’re admitting that their life was miserable, and it took so little to change that. Happiness really doesn’t mean that much to that many. It should be the only goal really, and it is trumped by money and pride on a daily basis. 

Are You Kidding Me?

I notice subtle changes in language, and slang, that other people don’t really pay attention to. One that perplexed me was the common reality TV trash saying of “are you kidding me”. It sounded like something new, but I know we’ve been saying that since the 1980s, and probably earlier. I figured that maybe I’m just not as observant as I thought, and it was just a miscalculation, but it’s not time to give up faith in my observations, because I figured this one out.

The difference with the new way to say “are you kidding me”, and the classic way that I am familiar with, is in announced punctuation. The original would go as, “Are you kidding me?”, but the new way is stated as “Are you kidding me!”. It’s just simply not a question anymore, it is a statement. It first changed with the characters on the reality shows, but of course it quickly rubbed off on the viewers.

It doesn’t make me a hater of my whole species just because I hate the reality television underworld. It is a select few controlling that underworld that then controls the viewers. I don’t hate the fans, I hate the creators. It is them that change my world without my consent. 

Education

Some people are all like, "You have to get an education before you get my respect", and what they have is a diploma in business administration or something like that, so they can get a job taking part in the operations of a company that does nothing for anyone. What those people are actually concerned about is someone who can fund their lifestyle expenses. If someone came to them and explained how they have their doctorate in quantum physics, they'd ask, "what kind of job can that get you"?

It is very sad when the ignorant even use the term "education". Society has trained them to value frivolous things in life, and a note of academic achievement will give them an advantage to succeed above others in acquiring these items. Education is in no way what these kind of people are interested in. It is employability that they are attracted to.

In reality, these people to which I refer are the perfect members in a society of this nature. Thinkers are not what is needed in the masses, workers are what is needed for the existing corporations. Of course a pyramid is the best visual display of how typical businesses function, and a pyramid needs many, many blocks.
