the world in brief.

i hate when people talk about the news. because i hate the news. then people complain about the news but continue to watch it. people do this in every facet of their lives. bitch about politicians but continue to contribute to that cause. they complain about how much x-celebrity makes but they go to watch their movies, buy their dvds, pick up a tabloid, whatever. i stopped watching the news around dec 2006. it was before i knew i would be deploying. i was sitting in my shop in 4 id and the master sergeant had some news on. they were talking about the surge and i felt sick to my stomach. after that, it was a rare thing for me to remotely give a shit about the news. the news lies. and they make people panic and feel anxious about shit they have absolutely no fucking control over. 

i say, get as informed as you possibly can and then let the anxiety make you more stressed and worried about your finances, your job, your family, your nation, your health. worry really fucking hard. because the more you worry the closer you are to the heart attack that will take you away from the shit youre worried about and extra bonus! you take *some* burden off the tax payers. except that the whore down the street who has 7 kids with another on the way and no concern about birth control will cancel out ANY good you might have done by dying.

what brings me to this? i got bored at work (waiting for some assholes to show up to get my work on)

i checked out the google news.
Quran burning angers Afghans; US vows probe: simple solution. hey assholes, stop burning qurans. this is the equivalent to them as an islamic man coming and raping kids. youd be pissed too, am i right? how fucking hard is it to NOT disrespect another fucking human? shoot him in the face, cool. but piss on his god? fuck off.

Chris Brown, Rihanna team up for two remixes: who fucking cares? seriously. he beat her ass (probably deservingly. rihanna strikes me as someone who would annoy the calmest of men...) obviously shes over it. if he beats her again, good. she apparently didnt learn the first time and money seems to be > her pride.

anyways. my bank account hit an all time low due to my stupid little vacation in jan. who wouldve thought being married is infinitely more expensive than being single. ugh. im selling a ton of my shit cus i dont need it and i prefer money over things. then im going to turn around and buy more things.

black coffee. since the blues caught my eye.

good music is born from struggle and passion.

"I haven't been born yet and I already hate my generation and pop music. I wish I wasn't yet born in another era when everyone smoked in the hospital and canned food killed 1/3 of the population."

i used to bitch that my generation had the worst music and the lamest culture. but its only because they dont know what it is to struggle and pour their hearts into our ears. and thats okay. there are plenty of stupid people who keep buying their songs. cycle, people. 

* thats not to say know struggle. but im also not producing music and charging 1.99 for a song...
