This Vapid, Vacuous and Vain World We Live In

A certain Actor guy, a certain ball player and a certain television show.

1. The Actor guy-
Comments and publicity abound from and around this certain individual these days and I for one am pretty sick of it. He is a freekin nut job. Just like that guy that did the jesus movie last year. I refuse to name names here because everyone already knows who these people are and we don't need to hear or see their names anymore. I don;t give a crap about this stuff except when these people make comments about things that they really truly do not understand. To say that chemical imbalances don't exist is to be misinformed. The brain is the most complex thing that we as human beings have ever tried to comprehend. There are functions of the brain that may never be explained and yes there are a number of "theories" as to the hows and whys of brain activity. What this actor fails to realize is that the brain works electrochemically and chemically and one of the processes of causing the release of chemicals through the glands of the endocrine system. Key words here being CHEMICAL. Things can go wrong with the way a brain functions and there is still a lot to be discovered about how and why these things occur but I can tell you for sure that they cannot all be solved by taking vitamins and exercising although that would be great if it was true. Depression, while not fully understood, is caused by CHEMICALS. While I am not a proponent of over-medicating our society and often times these pharmaceuticals are over-prescribed as a quick fix for depression, ADD, etc. I am no expert and I don't plan on being una psiquiatra but I am tempted to say that perhaps this actor guy read one article that was written for that "religion's" weekly brainwash...I mean newsletter.

2. The Ballplayer
You should be on your knees thanking "God" or whatever that you are able to do this with your life and be paid very well for it. You self-invovled MF. Talking like you are doing the world a favor by taking a pay cut. "It's not about the money" you said but you are still clearing 8 figures, making more than some country's GDPs you prick. You are talented sure, but you can't carry a team and your defense is questionable. You know how many talented players there are out there who play the game because they love it and not giving a damn what team they are on or even if they are playing in the majors. I am holding you (and a few other players another of whom happens to play on the same team that you do) personally responsible for ruining the game of baseball. You think people are going to look back on your career and say now that guy could play...uh...sorry no...they are more likely going to remember you as being an overpaid big pompous jerk face and maybe that is ok with you. I am glad that you are telling teams not to trade for you, who would want to play the game with you anyway and what other city would want to watch you play. You better start producing for the team you currently play for and especially during crunch times otherwise you are history.

3. The television show.
Reality TV is really...uh...wrong. So there is this show that is on some network which I honestly can't remember. It involves regular guys and some hot wannabe actress and a bunch of wannabe model/bonehead guys and collectively all of the guys try and get the girl to pick them for a date or something (I honestly don't know the premise of the show). What I do know thanks to other people in my office is that on the last version of the show the girl didn't pick one of the regular guys she picked one of the beautiful/bonehead guys and I imagine that this is what is going to happen again on this upcoming season. Although now, the regular guys are going to be able to get cosmetic surgery and makeovers and the like so that they can compete with the beautiful boneheads. So the first season of this show ends with the girl picking a guy because of the way that he looks as opposed to what is on the inside....WHAT A FREEKIN SHOCK...and so now the producers are trying to even up the score by making the REGULAR GUYS change their appearance so that maybe the girl will pick one of them this time. What I want to know is why anybody would want to watch this show in the first place if we already know that the girl is going to make the decision based on appearance? Is this fascinating TV? I think we need to start building an ark or something cause the rapture is a comin'. There is some other show based on appearance where they do "makeovers" (read: facelifts, tummy tucks, breast augmentation, etc) for "ugly" people and the producers did a show where they helped a couple of people who were disfigured from accidents to try and prove that they weren't totally hollow worthless human beings. I could end with some sort of dumb cliché about how you are only as beautiful as you think you are or something like that, but that would be really really lame. HA!

I write what I feel and it may not always be the best written nonsense but then not everything Dostoyevsky wrote was gold. Goodnight all, goodnight actor guy, goodnight jerk face ballplayer
