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.

I’m late to post about this story, but for those of you who have not heard, there was a 30 year old man named Brad Jayakody who was stopped in a London airport (by security) for wearing a shirt with a transformer on it that was holding a gun. He was told that he could not fly until he changed his shirt. WOW! Thank you homeland security. You guys are really focusing your time and resources on the real dangers in life. I feel much more comfortable knowing that on the front lines of the defense against air travel terrorism are these genius security teams protecting us from t-shirts.
As if it is not bad enough that we take so much crap from the only games in town when it comes to long distance travel (the airlines), now we can’t wear shirts with cartoons on them? What a joke. If this is not the twilight zone yet, it will be soon.
As you will see in this photo of the detained passenger, Brad Jayakody, this shirt was obviously an extreme security threat.

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?

We received an email today with the same propaganda nonsense that we get about twice a year, which basically suggests that as Americans we should simply shut up about gas prices being so high since there are other countries paying higher prices. So apparently if there are any injustices or issues of extortion going on in our country, we should simply ignore those issues or compare them to other global problems before making a fuss at all. Yeah well, I for one am still not buying this garbage.
The subject of the email was: “Why Europe thinks we are crybabies”. I love the term “why Europe”, as if Europe is some group entity or a person who is judging “us” and should dictate what we view as a problem. Can you say “permission slip”? But I must admit, propaganda still works and we all eat it up one spoon full at a time.

Every day I realize how money owns me. 95% of the things I do are directly as a result of money. It makes me say or do things that I would not naturally say or do. It makes me want things that I honestly really do not care about. And it makes me value a future that I do not necessarily need or really desire in my heart. It makes me pursue careers or talents that I really don’t have any care for. Now the reality is that this is just life, but it is an interesting reality. All these years I thought that money was obtainable, but the truth is that we are obtainable for money, and we will say or do just about anything to please it.
I think it’s pretty funny that we actually believe our accomplishments and salaries actually mean anything. We are in fact pretty insignificant and forget that we can lose things in the blink of an eye. And without the concept of compassion and giving, we are truly NOTHING. If it were not for family, friends, loved ones, or even strangers around us who constantly give us something whether it be time, money, assistance, advice, etc… we would literally have and be nothing. Life is not all about talents, status, cash flow, fashion, or how well you can do things, but is more about how much we are willing to GIVE to others. Especially when are so blessed ourselves. Wake up.

I found this photo around the web and they claim it is a bootleg Starbucks coffe shop somewhere in Indonesia. If anyone knows the exact location, let me know because I wanna go. This is awesome.
The sad thing about this is that Americans would still walk in this place and ask for a “tall hot mocha java latte with skim soy milk and ginger spice on the side”.
