Je m’accuse…

20/01/2007 Johnnyboy

I must admit that my last post was arch, mean spirited, and cruel. People deserve to live their own lives as they see fit, not as I think they should. So to all those who are most likely offended, I promise to not make those errors in judgment again.

I hope and pray for those folks, if only to allow me to let them live and let live.

I’m working on this life of mine, folks. Some days are better than others.

Disturbing social trends…

18/01/2007 Johnnyboy

I’ll make it brief, because frankly I don’t want to set up all the links, but there are some very disturbing trends moving through this country. I’ll list them.

1. According to a recent poll, over 65% of high school seniors want little else than to be “rich and famous” as adults. That’s so disgustingly shallow and points to some serious flaws in the moral and ethical makeup of the country. Also, it is quite unreasonable, since most of them will end up being middle-class (or less) nobodies.

2. The supermodel Naomi Campbell has been in the news recently. One of her maids is suing her on charges that she assaulted her. The story says that when Naomi couldn’t find a favorite pair of jeans she threw a tantrum, and then threw her cellphone at the poor woman. OK, so materialism is so important that a pair of jeans is worth this? Please, people…

3. At the gym the other day I was watching some nasty talk show on ‘Fox’ about the “Housewives of Orange County”. First, what a waste of television. It proves that it is truly a wasteland. Second, these women are disgusting. They are in their late forties and desperately try to be 18 again. Botox was probably just the beginning. There was a lot of “surgical enhancements” on those bodies. I know. Breasts are not shaped like cantaloupes. Plus, one of the mothers went on a Dutch cruise in the Caribbean with her 18 year old daughter. the age is important because the drinking age on those boats is 18, so the home movies are of mom and daughter sitting around doing shots, looking bleary, and, and, and….Yuck!

4. One of the “housewives” (22 years old, BTW) was asked how she keep passion alive in her marriage…This is the scene: her husband earns gazillions of dough somewhere and prefers that she doesn’t work. No problem…it’s their choice, really. So what does she do for him to keep the flame aglow? They showed the TV viewers. First, sometime around 11AM she pours herself a big glass of wine and proceeds to rummage through her expansive closets in search of the sluttiest clothes she can find. All the while she’s chugging the vino and prancing about in her lingerie. When she has found the right combination she calls her husband at work and tells him that she really needs him at home for some reason. So he rushes home, thinking that something is wrong. She greets him at the door, and proceeds to treat him like a customer at a strip club.
Two thoughts went through my head: What sort of role model for anyone (let alone young women) is this woman? So the solution to a flagging love life is drunkenness and slutty role playing? My next thought was what the husband was really thinking when he saw her in the foyer…

“Dammit, she’s drunk again. I wish she would just get some help. Why does she do this? Doesn’t she realize that she is putting our lives in jeopardy by distracting me from my work? I can’t take it anymore…”

This country has already gone down the shitter. The sound you hear is someone jiggling the handle…

So that’s what has floating around my noggin for the past few days.
