Trail of Cheetos Leads to Store Robber
What has our society come to? I’ll tell you, it’s come down
to this little poem right here. I wrote this yesterday (and I’m sorry for being
late to blog, I was lazy yesterday and didn't do anything productive really).
Sex, drugs, rock n’ roll.
Dubstep, emo’s, darkened souls.
Mosh pits, Parties, seeds of crime.
Viruses, diseases, guts and grime.
Horror films, chick flicks, and porno DVD’s.
Drum solos, screamo, and guitar strings.
Cutting, shootings, and suicide.
He, she, we all die.
Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook.
Goresite, modeling, and governmental crooks.
Disowned, ashamed, and banned.
Bisexuals, gays, and lesbians.
Murder plots, terrorists, and horrible schemes.
He, she, you and me.
This world is fucking beautiful, and we’re all a little corrupted.

Do you not agree
though? I mean, look at the way people dress now, look all around you and look
quite close. Look at the way you see
them, they’re message they send and the message we perceive from it. Oh, ok. So you’re easy and you look a bit
slutish? Alright, but that’s not what we want to see or know. We want your
personality and your humor, your brightness and your brains. We want to know
how you feel instead of how you’re trying to please everyone who has no common
morals for themselves or self-respect. Have you seen a picture of 6th
graders lately? Here’s another link to consider:
Very true and very sickening. I mean seriously, what has
this world come to? I am horrified to even know this kind of behavior exists
within the young pure forms of a human being, already corrupted by the world we
live in. Not to forget the music we all listen to. Where has the good gone?
Have we forgotten how good it used to be? Take Of Mice and Men, where has that
style gone? I mean, come on. People would rather listen to this

instead of something like this

What are the values in this? And what is Art? Music? Not unless it has a meaning. Beauty? Not unless it comes at a price. Drawing? Not unless it has a voice. My friend Kristie, look her up on Facebook at Kristie Binder, drew this wonderful picture, something I haven't ever seen. Go look at it and tell me that this isn't Art. But where do you see it? Certainly not in Museums or Books. It simply is marvelous. This is life. Right here, right now. Not 5 years into the future or 290 years into the past. What's with technology no a days too? Smart Phones and I Phone 10's? (Just made that last one up, not sure if it exists yet). I understand an Ipod to listen to music, I can't live without one myself, but they all have the same concepts. Are all these changes really necessary for us to live with? Do they actually help us? Oh, it's 3% faster downloading. Cool, doesn't seem like it. And fridges being able to play music? Bigger screened T.V's with a higher rez ? And everyone wonders where our economic money is going, well here ya' go. Surely not to the President for the War. That's another thing too; why continue to refer to the past trying to fix the present and better the future? I get you're trying to not make the same mistakes from the past but in order to do so you also have to look into the future sometimes instead of always the past. It's a new year, new changes should come. They're promises being made but never being fulfilled. The world isn't fucked-up, it's the way it's being formed upon. The Government isn't fucked-up, it's the ideas being presented and acted upon. People aren't fucked-up, it's the way they live they're lives according to stereo-typed bullshit. In order to better others, we have to start with ourselves. In order to better society, we have to start with others. In order to better the way people live, you have to start with society. Change one and change all. Think for a minute and stop and look at yourself, the ones around you and the ones unavailable. Society has changed for the worst and times will NOT get better unless we do. You want change? Start with yourself. You want change? Start small. "Do not wait until conditions are perfect to begin. Beginnings make conditions perfect" --Alan Cohen. But people don't stop and think about things like that. you want a better future filled with originality, good music, real people and personality's and a better way to strut who you are? Begin with how you want to make the change instead of who to make the change about or for. My friend Travis has inspired me most greatly for this blog, well him and everyday stupidity. He always is talking about things like "Where is the originality now?" and "How women and men present themselves now" and "How everyone he meets is a mirrored image of the next". It's always the same thing being said but nothing being done. I have a question for you : YOU want these changes, but really, are you doing anything to put effort into making them? Be honest with yourself. No, not really. I can't talk much, but I sure try to make an effort to practice what I preach.
