Sex, T.V and drugs

Everybody comes across them in their lives at some point. They're all easy to get a hold of. Why? I believe it's because of the way our society is structured. Why do you think you can stream or torrent almost anything you could possibly want? Why do you think porn is the number one object of internet traffic? Why do you think Pot, cocaine and heroin are "illegal", yet anyone is able to get their hands on them? 


Well, I think these are all things that have been determined as necessary to keep our society as dumbed down as it seems. If you don't believe that we've been dumbed down, take a look at the most recent comedies, masterpieces such as Superbad, semi-pro or Zack and Miri make a porno. All funny movies, to be sure, but all comedies that appeal to the simplest, most crude laugh-inducing topics avaiable to the human creative conscience. It used to be that timely swearing and nearly-revolting insults thrown left and right didn't constitute wit. Sure, we can say that shows such as Monty Python's Flying Circus is nothing but quick, absurd comedy designed in the same fashion as the Judd Apatow legacy, but they appeal to such a variety of subject matter, not just sex and a grandmother's smelly genitals. 


And this is halting our creative juices right in their tracks. If this is now what we regard as funny, then evolutionarily, we will continue this way. Will we never again see the likes of Mel Brook's Blazing Saddles? 


TV itself is a funny thing. It seems that all we know about comes from the TV, something that synthesizes emotions for us and causes us to feel. Rather than feeling from a direct experience of some kind, we are looking to an experience forged by an ammassed crew led by a select few writers and directors who represent their own bias, opinions and desires. Looking, with such frequency, to other people to show us how events should transpire, can only extract our own personalities to be substituted  by what we feel is right, as determined by the screen. The fact that the TV only stimulates two senses also unnerves me. Often, after getting so drawn into a film I will realize that I've sunk into my comfortable couch, not moving, not smelling, just watching and listening. And we devote so much time to TV and films. We regard them as so essential that my friends have always expressed wonder as to how I don't have cable at my house. But, essentially, the TV makes us feel emotions that every human wants to experience. So why should we leave the couch? 


But now that doesn't matter 'cause I have internet. And I can torrent. And Stream. Almost anything. And the reason I think that this hasn't been shut down, regardless of the massive losses incurred by the film studios, the people that hold power in this world, the select elite who have so much money that they basically control all the stocks in the world, don't want to lose their power. So this is how I see it. They want to keep us dumbed down. To prevent any real ingenious progress that may potentially happen if we get up, get out and create something rather than experience something created by someone else.


So now that I've rambled for a while, I'm going to spare your attention span and save the rest for later.

Kim Kardashian is DEAD!

She's not really. It was part of an anti-AIDS campaign where certain celebrities couldn't use twitter for a whole day. I'm just using it to pull attention to my blog. The real deal is here:Kim Kardashian Is Dead


So, first off, this is not a blog which is conspiracy theorising. This is not paranoia, this is not a blog dedicated to spreading fear and lies. This is simply a compilation of things I've noticed and have found intriguing. Things that reveal that our world might actually be different than the perfect place that everyone believes it is. It is a really shocking reality that we live in, shrouded from our daily existence by the media and corporate shareholders and money hoarders.


I am creating this blog because I've been noticing many things wrong with this world, things that are happening now that I do not want to continue. So, this is an awareness blog. I'm going to post things i've found online and things i've seen in daily life. I've seen that our society is turning for the worse, that our lives are being directed and controlled little by little, with less and less freedom for us to experience on the planet that's been given to us.


It seems shocking, to me, that we cannot, as a species, see the earth for the delicate balance that it is, with the beauty prevelant in everything from basic physics to biology reflecting the exquisite, spontaneous planet we live on. The fact that we cannot set aside our differences for the sole sake of appreciating this beauty, and instead strive for control, power, money and wealth, simply baffles me. I cannot say that I am a complete and utter angel, separate from my ego and above everyone else. I still have anger and pride, just like any human, But I can say that I am changing my views on possessions, money, and pride because of my newfound love for the human species.


Well this, that is going on right now in our society, is unacceptable. The cameras, the "terms of agreement", the unecessarily strict laws, the shockingly intimate pat-downs at the airports. It's all too much! Are we humans, or are we subjects?? They cannot control us this way, So now, let's tell it on the mountain. We're not happy with what's happening, we're not happy with what's going to happen!
