Here we go again...

Look, here's the thing. Maybe it was cool a year ago if you had a Moto-razor, but if you've got one now and you think you're hot shit, shutup. Everyone and their grandmother and their little sister has a fucking Razor now. Anyone who pays 250 fucking dollars for a phone needs to be shot...hey I paid $81 for mine, and it works just as well! My phone doesn't look cool, you say? What the fuck do I care? It's a fucking PHONE! It only comes out of my pocket when I need to call someone or someone's calling me. Another thing that pisses me off: people who goto class listening to their iPODS...I just don't get it. Are you that socially inept that you need to block out the rest of the world during a ten to fiteen minute walk? George Carlin had a great bit about this issue, in his book "Brain Droppings", and here it is: "And I've just about had it with all these geeky fucks who walk around listening to Walkmans. What are these jack-offs telling us? They're too good to participate in daily life? They're sealing themselves off? Big fuckin' loss. And what is it they're listening to that's so compelling? I think a person has to be fairly uncomfortable with his thoughts to have the need to block them out while simply walking around. I'd love to know how many of these obviously disturbed people become suicides." Notice that he said "walkmans"...that's because the book came out in 1997, way before the iPOD craze...I can only imagine what he thinks when he sees college campuses nowadays.

Carlin truly is a genius, his view on religion is one reason I love his comedy: "I've begun worshipping the sun for a number of reasons. First of all, unlike some other gods I could mention, I can see the sun. It's there for me every day. And the things it brings me are quite apparent all the time: heat, light, food, a lovely day. There's no mystery, no one asks for money, I don't have to dress up, and there's no boring pageantry. And interestingly enough, I have found that the prayers I offer to the sun and the prayers I formerely offered to "God" are all answered at about the same 50-percent rate." I think I may start worshipping the sun myself, actually.

Oh yeah, I blew up my previous LJ. It was pissing me off, so I've started anew
