What’s this obsession Hollywood has with writing British accents into every “accurately” portrayed or “historic-epic” movie? It seems like one acclaimed block buster after another is taken dead serious as being close to real events when in fact they should be looked at as a complete joke. Films like Alexander, Troy, Gladiator, 300, just to name a few, are perfect examples of this nonsense. Come on! We are supposed to believe that because the main character is speaking in some cool British accent that it has historical relevence and is legitimate to the story? It’s ridiculous. I know it is just a movie, but people turn around and say that it is so “true to life” as if that’s how it was? And I didn’t even mention how insane it is that the characters in these films are speaking English in the first place. How historically accurate is that? Or is it that we are too lazy to read subtitles and must pretend that the Romans spoke perfect English..oh and in a British accent? Who the hell makes this stuff up? I am not buying it people.

And why do they feel the need to always summarize years of complex historical events within a few cool italic lines of text? These are cute talking points, but come on now. What the hell is this? Are you kidding me? Has the audience really becoming this ignorant to throw awards at this garbage? It’s a comedy, not a serious film. What’s next? Are they going to do a film set in ancient Japan, but have all the Samurai’s speaking english? Wait….it’s already been done.

Saw these guys this week, good show, good horns.

I’ve always wondered why we focus so much time and effort on impressing people we don’t necessarily like. I still can’t figure it out, but I’m sick of it.

Of all the things on this earth we choose to focus our time on….we decide to focus on appearance and image. What a bunch of nonsense. Do you ever get sick of it? I don’t care who you are or where you come from, you must be sick and tired of putting so much thought into how you come across to other people. And not only in your appearance, but in what you say or do. I’m not saying you should act on every single natural instinct you come across, but I’m saying that it’s ridiculous to get dressed up in a monkey suit every day and parade around in flashy cars to gain approval from society. What are we trying to prove anyways? Who are we fooling? Did we fool ourselves yet? Perhaps we have, but in the meantime I suggest you keep feeding your ego and telling yourself how wonderful you are. Keep worrying about your appearance and possessions to let others know what good taste you have.

Forget about the important things in life as they are truly secondary. It’s all about you.

What is going on in today with this obsession of laziness and new ways to NOT walk? Have we lost our minds? We can’t walk anymore? It’s not good enough that we have the biggest or fastest cars, we also need to have the closest parking space every where we go? What happened to walking? What happened to being thankful for the legs that we were blessed with? Do you realize how many people cannot walk or have lost their walking? And we look for new ways to not use our feet or energy whatsoever. God forbid we break a sweat moving our fat a**es from one spot to the next. Is it efficiency or laziness?

And what is this Hollywood obsession with Segways? You need a “Segway” to get around now? Is that where we are headed? As if we haven’t become an obese enough country…now we need another reason not to exercise.

Get up and move a little. Wake up, wake up, wake up.
