I could love you much better, if you can't see that you're blind.
Lately I have been getting so restless about the state of what I'm tentatively going to refer to as "pop culture." The ideas, mantras, and propaganda of America's version of capitalism seem more and more empty as the days go on, like I've been taught all my life to strive for the wrong things. But now I'm in the middle of the cycle, and it's dangerous to jump off the Ferris wheel mid-ride.
Example #1: You need a big, cool, loud car to tote all your friends around in.
Uhm ... what? First of all the economy is in the shitter, second of all no one has jobs to pay for the car/gas, third of all for the health of the country please take a walk/bike ride once in a while.
Example #2: Don't show any signs of aging on your face whatsoever. Protect it from sun and fill in all lines.
I appreciate laugh lines. I think people who take care of themselves age well without ridiculously expensive surgeries or creams or facial exercises.
Example #3: Eat fast food.
Don't even know what to say to this. There's not a chance if there's any remote possibility I can eat something else? I don't count subs in this but depending what's on them they can be just as bad.
I don't watch television that much anymore, but when I catch glimpses, it all seems so meaningless. All I can think is that "I'm better than this. I can be alone sometimes and that's alright. I can drive a crappy car and that's alright. I can eat healthy and that's more than alright."
We are better than this.
