It's Just Been One Of Those Days
Rich people make me sick. I mean physically ill. I look at them and I want to vomit all over their fancy cars, nice clothes and bull shit brown nosing smiles. I sit here and look across the parking lot of my office building and see three BMWs, a Mercedes and a Ford Contour (driven by me). It makes me cringe at the thought that there are thousands of people all over America that don’t give a damn about anything else but the money in their pocket. This is not funny, this is not amusing, and this is just the honest to god truth. Money has become more important than our friendships, our lovers, our sisters, and brothers. The fact that I can pay for a five-dollar hamburger at Wendy’s makes me sick. The fact that I can afford to put gas in my car while a poor woman of three is on welfare makes me sick. The fact that I don’t have a PT Cruiser makes me sick. The fact that I am sick because I don’t have a PT Cruiser makes me sick. What is wrong with today’s society? What is wrong with our Children who seem to think that having a cell phone and a fat allowance from mommy and daddy makes you cool? What happened to working for what you get? What happened to loving your fellow neighbor enough to give him some money on the side of the road? Other nations look at us and see greed, lust, and hypocrisy. Poor countries don’t understand why we have all the money while they are forced to live in absolute swallow. Yet, we continue on, watching the rest of the world degrade into rubbish, while we Americans stand alone, atop of our biggie sized hill, with our hands around each other’s throats. Pop Culture is a plague. Money is a virus. America is the cancer that spreads these diseases all over the world. Skyscrapers are built and then torn down without the bat of an eye. Entertainers are paid millions of dollars so that we no longer have to be bored with our pathetic lives. And this seemed to all happen overnight didn’t it? One day we all just woke up and loved money. This is what the lord was warning us against in the bible. Yet, it seems to me that one of the biggest problems in America comes from people who preach the bible, and yet still have one love: money. Whoops so sorry God…we put a false idol in front of you long, long ago. Yet, God won’t bring down the wrath, no matter how bad he wants to. This is our world to fuck up and destroy. And after we’re gone…when everything is said and done. The Earth will breathe a huge sigh of relief and get ready to form another Amoeba. It doesn’t matter what we take away from this world if we only want to divide and conquer. What the hell are we all doing here on the Earth? Why could we possibly be placed in such a predicament as we are right now. All we have is each other, yet we separate ourselves with a few pieces of paper and a couple of nice possessions. This is not an affirmation of your stature and who you are. How many of us could loose all that we have, and tomorrow, still wake up and love the day? I’m scared that I wouldn’t be able to…yet, I would be far better off than most. I am no elitist. I want the nicer things in life. I want a cool car, nice house, and an infinite number of toys for my kids playroom, but what I do try and do, is give back to the people around me. I try to further their lives while furthering mine. The other night I gave every dollar I had on me…5 to be exact…to a bum on the street. Why on Earth did I do it? Because I could. Now if I had 3 Million Dollars, how much of that could I afford to give away to bums on the street? A whole hell of a lot. I guess I just want to know at what point did everything go wrong? When did we become so cold and heartless? We are living in the Armageddon as we speak. We are tearing each other apart willingly. I guess I’m just frustrated that too many of us are unwilling to change. I guess I’m just frustrated that I can’t do a damned thing about it. I guess I’m just frustrated because I know that too many people out there just don’t give a damn. It hurts…more than they will ever know.
Oh, he's just bitching again...I thought he quit that
