Will someone please tell the truth…

Monday, May 19th, 2008

There are two things, among many, that really chap my ass about TV. Some of the commercials they show us are so completely stupid and what makes me more mad is that they think we’re stupid enough to believe the crap they’re telling us. I guess some people are stupid enough to believe what they say and I chalk most of that stupidity up to ignorance about what used to be considered ‘normal’ in the past.

Human Paploma Virus used to be something that gynos would talk to girls about because it was a reliable symptom of having too many sexual partners. Now, they advertise it like it’s the new virus to immunize yourself against, like chicken box or rubella. Please.. why don’t these people just say on the commercial that if you get HPV, then your secret isn’t so secret anymore. You’re a loosey goosey, and the only way to immunize yourself from it is to stop sleeping with multiple partners. There is no pill that can stop someone from being a slut, so as long as there are sluts, there’s going to be a need to glorify the HPV.

Genital Herpes…. yep, another one that’s on the TV. “I have genital herpes.” and the jackass boyfriend or girlfriend says, “but I don’t, because my infected partner takes a pill a day that may or may not protect me from carrying what used to be considered the Scarlett letter of social indiscretion. Hey! Let’s advertise medicine for it on TV like it’s the new birth control pill. Who the hell would stay with someone after finding out they infected you with that nastiness? Hillary Clinton might, she’ll stick with anyone. Be smart people! If someone has crabs, herpes, AIDS, or whatever else, let them find someone with the same issues. Some people are lucky, some aren’t, let the lucky ones remain lucky. It’s a brand new day, right?

Global Warming… you global warming people can kiss my ass. The earth is going to change so just live with it already. The only way we can stop our ‘footprint’ from stamping out this little earth of hours is if we all start floating and stop farting. Yeah, I see that happening. In the mean time, I’m going to pay $58 to fill up my gas tank and pay $3 for a head of lettuce. You fern-gully freaks need to start quitting your jobs, giving up your cars, and start working less than a mile from your home. Yeah, I’d walk to work, if I didn’t work 25 miles from there! What you ask of us is not realistic, therefore, your reason for asking is not realistic.

Obesity Epidemic… okay dumb-asses, when you live in a time where food is so overly plentiful, then people get fatter. This is just the way nature and biology work. This is why America is so fat, we have a whole lot of food! When MacDonalds decides to close some of it’s stores down then about 10 years later we’ll complain about having a famine. People need to stop thinking that all fat people aren’t healthy. Some are healthier than their skinnier counterparts, and some look just plain nasty, but that isn’t because they’re fat, it’s because they’re lazy and just don’t care about themselves. A lot of skinny people apply to this scenario as well. The clothing manufacturer’s and designers need to get a clue and realize that the hefties in this country are eventually going to outweigh, pun definitely intended, the skinnies.  If you’re all about money and style, then design styles for the other half of the population who would definitely be interested in buying your clothes. Big designers like Chanel and Versace seem to be ignorant that a portly population exists. Sorry for them….

Self Reflection….

You ever wonder what would be different if you did things a little smarter in the past? Smarter decisions, being aware of what it means to truly look after and know yourself really do count when you find yourself unhappy and ’stuck’ in a life that you know could have been better if you just used your brain a little in the past.

I… wasted… my…. twenties…..

If I could send a message out to anyone who is about to graduate from high school it would be to really really try to understand who you are, what your talents are, and how important it is to realize that time is going to pass by all too quickly if you just sit and watch it. I am at a place right now, in my 30s, where a lot of 19 and 20 year olds are in life. In other words, I haven’t accomplished anything more than what a 19 or 20 year old could accomplish.  And the friends I had.. I know none of them anymore. A complete waste. I had fun but you realize how true friendships are when you’re in a pickle and the ones who were supposed to be your closest friends just stop talking to you, and even start talking about you. This is life and it happens because people are people. If you invest too much of yourself into anyone, then this is what can happen. I didn’t value myself. I valued others more than I valued myself, and I got exactly what I should have expected. Nothing in return.

The point I’m trying to make is that it’s important to realize what and who are the things and people who are worth being involved with. Just because you laugh with someone doesn’t mean you should open up your life to them. Leading a life filled with unimportant and valueless people and things is a trap that so many people fall into, and before you know it, you’ve realized who you are and what you want only after valuable time has gone by. 

I was about to write a paragraph that was brutally honest about who I am and what kind of person I am. I now feel that as long as I know the truth, then no one else needs to be concerned about it. We all have our characteristics, some of them bad, and some of them good. When you find someone who shows you thigns about yourself that you never realized, then it’s a perfect opportunity to figure out how things could change and how things could change to make life a little happier. It is so very important to know yourself, know your strengths, and know your weaknesses. It is also important to know of any ‘asshole’ tendencies you have. The ability to effectively interact with people is something that is so important in personal and business relationships. If you offend people when you’re actually trying to negotiate or persuade, then you lose sucker.
