Unabashed Consumer Materialism...

Dec 06, 2006 15:51

I hate when I wake up with a point to make.

I hate it more when I don't feel like I have an audience to make that point to. These are the moments I want my journal to be public.

( Man, I see the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off. )

soapbox, friendship, rant, life

So.........does this mean I'm not getting a present?

Take your kids to a soup kitchen. Take them to a zoo. Take them away from the TV they're being plugged into so they keep quiet. If you must present a gift, try buying your goddamn kids a book. If for no other reason, buy them a book so you can be amused at the look on their faces when they open it and try to shove it in the DVD // PS3 // Microwave. That, my friends is art.awesome... and to late, i've read chuck palahniuk.. but evertime i read, i wonder, what is the purpose? why am i reading? WHERE IS THE INTEREST?!?!?! but i keep reading... cause i hope.... but then, the story ends. and i say WTF? but i guess that's the point huh? and i read. cause i like it ( ... )

I love Chuck Palahniuk. I have no idea what he looks like but I'd let him fuck me like I was a 13 year old Thai hooker he paid $10 for. He's so brilliant, I am more brilliant after reading him and from that I'm also so much worse off cause I understand my limitations and they force me to look inside the crypt of my mind.

You should come here. Pick a weekend. This weekend would be cool. Just call me,...

Have I ever told you how much I love your mind? I do, truly. I also understand the sickness of commercialism and the desire to be free of it that can quite often be stuffed behind the new gadget desired in the mental/emotional filing cabinet. I have done this so many times. Most recently, last week ( ... )

SEE WHAT I MEAN!!! I hate this shit. I hate money and cars and cloths that don't fit and TV shows that tell you to wear shit that's uncomfortable and boring and CORDUROY!!! Fuck it all!!! You know what Dawn, if you want to appear smart, just open your mouth. It doesn't matter what you wear, speaking to you for five minutes lets the world know you're brilliant, whether you're wearing jeans or a fucking bikini. As a matter of fact, I'm smarter when i'm sloppy, cause when i'm dressed up I'm too worried I'm sitting wrong and my fat rolls are showing. When I'm in my jeans and T'shirts I can let it hang out and concentrate on my words rather than my figure. I can also breathe, therefore I can rant. And GOD FORBID I'm dressed to go out. I've got to pretend I'm not panicking about going into public and can't bother to be smart.

Fuck everyone. I'm gonna become bohemian!!!

The computer is awesome. WHat kind of dishes do you think make me, me?

Re: Love epicmuse December 8 2006, 06:02:01 UTC

That depends on the look and style you wish to portray. If you are going for a clean, sophisticated look, I would go with white plates with a silver band on them. He He He. Leave it to us to do this in comments to a post about materialism. I love you.

Re: Love calisto187 December 8 2006, 07:24:21 UTC

I love you, no matter what, always.

airie43 December 7 2006, 22:37:39 UTC

That gift affected me in ways I can't even tell you. It really changed my life!

evenangelsfail December 8 2006, 09:51:32 UTC

I'm am really glad you like it, I was worried.

Hilarious, entertaining, and thought-provoking. Everything I love about your posts, and everything I love about you.

Does anyone ever walk into an apartment and think "I love this person because of her amazing Photoprinter?"
Do you know that I literally paused to ponder that one sentence for about 5 minutes before I could move on? Amazing.

And I wish I had someone even half as sweet as Aimee in my life.

airie43 December 21 2006, 15:36:45 UTC

See... you're supposed to love me?!?

0oangelface24o0 December 22 2006, 06:52:00 UTC
