If the so called “top leaders” and wanna-be presidents in our country are literally the best that we have to offer, WHY CAN’T THEY WRITE THEIR OWN DAMN SPEECHES?
What is this Hollywood? Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and everyone else in between…don’t be fooled by people who claim to be so down to earth, but need a publicist to express their thoughts for them. I admit, it is great marketing.

All of my life I’ve noticed that the people take several amazing details for granted while existing on this planet. I’m certainly not the exception, but I’ve slowly come to realize that I can’t waste any more time following mass opinions and routines in order to value the same things as a “everyone” else. In regards to people taking things for granted in life, a perfect example is the instance of crossing paths with someone for the first (or last) time in our daily lives. And no, I don’t mean some “love at first sight” moment, or even an introduction to a new friend or co-worker. I am talking about the daily phenomenon of meeting or even making eye contact with a person for the first time and realizing that you will most likely never see that individual for the remainder of your natural life. This means that person jogging outside of your house you said “hello” to, and the taxi driver who drove you a few blocks into the city, and the high school kid who served you coffee at your local coffee shop. Do we even think of how amazing it is that these instances are often the only times we see these people for our lives? Why is this not important to us? We get to share a small moment of time with people who have been living near us or far from us, but with similar pain, similar trials, similar goals, even similar passions, and instead of cherishing these moments, we go about our day without blinking an eye.
I think about this and I think about what we usually view as being “amazing” in life. And usually that definition does not involve meeting or seeing strangers. In fact, what we consider amazing in life is probably the farthest thing from meeting strangers and most likely involves us getting what we want and moving on. Marriage, childbirth, and graduation on the other hand, are widely accepted milestones in our lives. Not to say these things should not be cherished, but when you think about it, we see our loved ones and friends all the time. On the other hand, we see people on the streets who for all we know might have a lot in common with us, or could be dead by now. Do we care? Not really.
As for me, I cherish these small moments and it helps me to truly ask the right questions when meeting people for the first time. I say enough of these formalities and nonsense traditions in life, the next time you meet someone for the first and last time, I suggest you reach out to encourage them and even share with them how honored you are to have met them in this lifetime. It may seem strange to many people, but I personally would feel encouraged that sometime took time out of their “busy” schedule to be real with me for a moment.

I’m sick and tired of hearing the phrase “I’m busy”. This empty slogan seems to be emerging as the new catch phrase to give us a sense of importance or meaning in life. But regardless of your religion, culture, or geographic location, I would argue that this statement is meaningless and simply nonsense. You can add this slogan to the rest of the coin phrases we use to go through the motions in life, exaggerate our importance, and talk without saying anything.
Think about it. What does it actually accomplish to share the fact that you are “busy”. Why is this the ultimate response in every day conversation? Will someone explain what this answer has done for anyone. And my problem with it more than anything is that it is a big lie in the first place. We act like we are forced to be so busy when we are the ones choosing to be busy. Not to mention that we use this as an excuse not to do things that are actually more important in life….like staying in touch with people. Too busy? I say go pound sand. When you die, the world will keep turning….How is that for “too busy”.

I don’t mind going through the motions every now and then, but this daily routine that everyone participates in is simply getting ridiculous. When you stop and think about life and what we really are, it is much less than you think. We make up distractions and silly job descriptions to make ourselves seem so important, but in reality we are extremely small and yes, equally insignificant in the big picture. We take our jobs and our status in society so damn seriously and we follow suit with our arrogant behavior each day. Not to say that we should not aim to be above average people with goals, accomplishments, and positive change. And everyone should know that being significant in life is most rewarding when it’s from those who are closest to us.
I suggest that we spend more time on positive changes and real matters in life, instead of all the fluff. We just buy stock in fluff every damn day! There is too much fluff that we participate in. We dumb down everything by making ourselves “busy” and “important”, but we forget that we are just people. Without the houses, clothing, cars, offices, and latest cell phone, you would be just some poor naked sucker. Back to the cave man days. (that was a joke)
But you should never worry about not having a phone, electricity, or god forbid a vehicle….well not unless a disaster or natural phenomenon strikes, then I’m sure you will be ready to change your life and start the campaign to save humanity.
Maybe you can start now by focusing on the true meaning in life. Don’t keep the blind fold on forever.

Has impressing other people ever brought you actual success, happiness, security, or fulfillment in life? And if so, how? Is life smooth sailing for you now that you’ve wasted energy impressing those around you? And when you impress one group of people, there will always be another group that doesn’t approve of you.
It’s a waste of time. Do what is right, do what you must. Don’t get caught up in popular opinion or what other cool people think you should do. Time to grow up.

For individuals like Vin Diesel, Ben Affleck, Paul Walker, Tom Cruise, Nicholas Cage, Angelina Jolie, and the rest of the ridiculous VIP list who claim to be “actors”, my question is this: Are these people serious? Are they joking when they appear in public and wave to audiences while blaring their corny smiles and arrogant walks in their designer uniforms? (don’t call me a hater damnit) But do they whole heartedly believe in their own hype, and as in hook, line, and sinker? Or do they just do it for show? Please tell me it is just for show, please.
And when they are interviewed talking about their latest “film” (translation: terrible and unoriginal remake) that they do simply for the money, which I can’t blame them for, are they actually serious about saying the new project is exciting and the greatest thing ever? Do they actually think these films are quality? Are they serious when comparing these new crap films to the old classics such as The GodFather, Casablanca, StarWars, Citizen Cane, or the several Kubrik (RIP) masterpieces that had surfaced throughout the past decades?
Someone please tell me…ARE THEY BEING SERIOUS? Has Hollywood finally lost its mind for good? These “stars” are more of a joke than any other group of celebrities on the globe, and to add insult to injury, they claim to know what is best for the world. Hell, some of them are even involved with the U.N. (unfortunately that was probably one of the better moves the U.N. has made this century). But I digress; I just want to meet one of these people behind the scenes, with no cameras, no video, and just ask them… ARE YOU SERIOUS?
I won’t mind if they are just pretending. Sometimes I pretend. I know I am nothing…do they realize that deep down they are nothing too?

Are you sick of being average and always fitting in with the rest of this boring society? Try these tips on for size the next time you’re in public and you’ll be sure to start getting some attention….finally. Oh, and it’s only funny if you do these things with a serious face as if there is nothing wrong.
1. Wear tighty whitey underwear on the outside of your pants (I don’t mean just guys, girls too)
2. When strolling down the street, put a dog harness on a wild rabbit & walk it around town. (make sure you have a dead serious face of course)
3. When pumping gas, jump on the hood of your car and start doing the robot while simultaneously yelling out the amount of gallons that you’ve paid for.
4. When your co-workers ask you a question, just respond by hissing back at them like a cat.
5. Wear a giant watch on your forehead with a sticker of your face on it.
