I think in all those army/navy commericals where they show people on boats and climbing mountains and shit, they should just show someone getting shot in the face, or someone stepping on a land mine or something. Someone should die, cause i mean people do all that cool shit like fly helicopters and jump out of plane. But people also get shot in the eye, why would they leave that part out?
In other news, i believe there is a disease brewing amoung us that we don't even reconize. People are addicted to sports, especially football in the average male american case. I mean you could say, i am an alcoholic, because i drink a lot, and i make plans to drink a lot. While at the same times, people watch sports in excess, and make plans to do so. They even tape it when they can't watch it. People get so pumped about sports. They even get in fights over sports. They always talk about "my team" even though they have no connection to that team besides the fact that they choose to like them. Sounds like delusion to me. They place bets on who will win, sports gamblng is a multi million dollar business. Yet we ignore it. Anger, frustration, need, money, these all sound like addiciton. Yet we look at an alcoholic and think less of him, while we look at someone who watches every football game in a season no matter what, and thinks he's a man. Thats fucking sick. They say that the usual "addicts" are the under belly of society, yet sports starts so many fights, causes so much public intoxication, is the reason for the illegal million dollar businesss of gambling. I don't understand how this is not seen as a disease. Yup thats all i got for tonight. The end
ps, this came to me as i was watching one of those eagles commercials. The ones where the people are totally ridiculously over zealous about football. They are screaming and yelling all about how the eagles are so great. Its pretty sickening. I can't believe people get so pumped over a bunch of over paid men running into eachother.
