(no subject)
This is an excerpt from T-shirt hell's Mayhit edition of their monthly news letter, well ok it's the whole damn thing, but it made me laugh till my balls hurt, so I had to share it. This isn't my wording but more should really know about this and how right it makes the world.
Sanskrit for "Girl Scout"Sanjaya Malakar, television phenomenon and gay teenager, was recently voted off of American Idol. He (?) was a highly divisive performer, lasting well into the late rounds of the competition due in large part to campaigns devoted to voting for the worst contestant. (Kind of like the presidency. That's how it happened, isn't it?)
This upset American Idol fans, who claimed that it ruined the show's credibility. You know, the credibility of the show that made stars out of Taylor Hicks and Clay Aiken. That credibility. But while AI fans grew increasingly frustrated, people who hate the show loved the success of Sanjaya, believing that his victory would help sink the ratings juggernaut. And still others genuinely enjoyed the attitude and over-the-top style of Sanjaya.
I, as usual, came down on the side of not caring. Whether Sanjaya goes on to sell 10 million albums or he ends up doing gay porn before being shot in the head in a coke deal gone wrong, my reaction will be the same - a simple shrug of the shoulders.
It seems that in this day and age of opinion polls, phone voting and leaving comments, people have forgotten that they have the option of simply not caring. Just because two groups are fighting about something doesn't mean one of them is right. If a couple of guys are arguing whether oral sex is better from a badger or a mongoose, you don't have to pick a side.
But I'm not telling you to avoid conflict just because the conflict is pointless. I'm telling you to avoid conflict regardless of what it's about. Whether it's about something as trivial as American Idol or about something as supposedly important as the environment, just stay out of it and you'll come out all the better for having avoided it. And even if you don't, you won't care.
So just remember, the next time you're holding up a protest sign and shouting to let the world know where you stand on abortion, I'm at home eating ice cream sandwiches and laughing at the Three Stooges. At the end of the day we will both have made the same impact on society, but only I will have avoided feeling emotions. Have a good night. Or don't. I don't really give a shit
My portion here now:
The interview went well, I have the job, as long as the Lemon Poppy seed muffins, the smoke I partook in about a month ago and my crack habit don't show up on the drug screen I have to take tomorrow. It paid $600 less a year, but pays 930 a month auto expense and my cell phone bill and has dental and eye insurance, and they are paying for my hotel stay while I train in Colombus and then Indy and any other time I may have to stay in a hotel on a longer journey. I do think I have to up my insurance though, but hopefully it won't be too much more. Yea.
