Quote of the Week
“...been a long time since I Rock'n'Rolled...” - ME
I feel compelled to ask the existential question: "Does the television show 'The Bachelor' personally offend everyone else as much as it does me?" Not only is it the most mind-numbing drivel ever put on TV, the characters in the program disgust me in a profound way. First, I would like to say that my exposure to this show has come in the form of background noise while I frantically and desperately try to tune it out. That is plenty. I think anyone who has any feelings toward the sanctity of marriage has to feel the compulsion to fight back a gag-reflex at the mere mention of this pile of crap program. The way the characters so fervently try to convince viewers that their intentions for being on this show are authentic is laughable at best. In this era of "Reality Jackass" attention whores, these cats take the cake. If any of them had any real talent or value they could have found some other way to achieve a Second-Rate-Lifetime-Network-Original-Movie acting career that they all obviously aspire to.
I understand the concept of "Escapism", but you know as well as I do that tens of thousands of people who watch this show accept it as actual reality. This speaks volumes about the current state of our ignorant and apathetic countrymen (and women.)
I need to go back and reread 'Revelations' because this show MUST be one of the signs of the apocalypse. I am beginning to think that the reason we as Americans are so universally hated has less to do with our war mongering and more to do with shit like this.
I suddenly feel like writing. Things are slow at the moment. How many times in your life have you had an extended period of absolutely nothing to do. Waking up on Monday morning and not having a job to do or a task to complete gives me a sick feeling in my stomach. The current state of our economy...SUCKS! Well, I guess that is enough of that.
Let's move on.
Good News: I just spent two weeks in England for Christmas. Very, very, cool. If you have the means, I highly recommend making the trip (that was a little Ferris shout out for the movie buffs among you!) ChestWraps.com is currently getting revamped. I am hoping that will keep me busy for a while and maybe generate a little somthin'-somthin'!! Right? Right.
I have decided to post a pic I took in Sussex, England. This is Bodiam Castle. Rather than regurgitating a long fact sheet regarding this amazing castle, I will just say click here to learn more. Even if you are aware the fact that things are much older in Europe, it is still a shocking realization to stand in front of a structure that is 400 years older than our country!
And...Big Ben was totally rad :)
I want to tell you about a new project: www.chestwraps.com. We set out to create a place where we could vent our sarcasm in a constructive way. This is what we have ended up with. Everything I would wear on a T-shirt, printed on T-shirts. Cool idea, right? We thought so. Anyway, I am very interested in feedback so please check out the site and it's features and let me know what you think. Good, bad, ugly...doesn't matter. Just let me know. And, if you happen to like what you see, maybe pick up some funny new threads (baby needs a new pair)
You want to hear something funny?
A man and a woman walk into an elevator.
The woman turns to the man and asks,
"Can I smell your balls"?
The man exclaims, "No you can not"!
To which the woman replies,
"Then it must be your feet".
