The commercial has a smug little girl pulling out the Hannah Montana Valentine's day card her mom got her and acting like it's way better than homemade, thought-out sentiments. (Since when do parents give their children Valentine's day presents and cards anyway?) Can someone explain to me what is supposed to be appealing about this?
Call me old-fashioned, but it used to be that actually making things and giving a crap about the people in our lives meant more than buying some mass-produced sheep herd-following garbage.

I'm a bad person.
So I guess I'm a horrible person for complaining that the world sucks.
/emo slashies.
With that, I close this blog.
Because I totally care what the world thinks.

It's back to school time!
It's back to school time, and I can't wait to get my shallow, pathetic, selfish ass to all the stores to stock up on slutty outfits and electronics I'm not even supposed to have in class! And I can't forget an overpriced laptop that I'll only use to visit mySpace during class, and of course I'll need to be wearing all the trendiest makeup too!
Instead of commercials for school supply sales and things beneficial to a learning environment, it's all commercials based on the attitude that you go to school to show off your clothes and play with your electronics. Mottos like, "Don't just go back to school, ARRIVE," and commercials where an insolent spoiled brat ignores his teacher to listen to his iPod and revel in his consumption addiction make me want to beat the shit out of every half-qualified idiot parent that lets their kids act like that.
Not that I didn't already know this, but just to reiterate: our society is doomed.

How the world works...or doesn't work, to be more accurate.
Let's imagine you've hired two temps from a local agency.
One of them is young and cute, but does sloppy work. Instead of finding something to do, like clean up, when the project runs out, she plays games on the computer and complains how boring the job is. She answers the phone unprofessionally and wastes time doing things that don't need done. More than likely, working isn't a necessity to pay rent or buy food.
The other temp is faster, neater, and more professional in all aspects, but has an unfortunate haircut that looks something like June Cleaver took 50,000 volts from an electrical socket.
Who do you ask to work for you Saturday?
On an unrelated note, I have the weekend off.
Fucking a.

the end of things
THINGS!! THINGS I SAY! AND ENDS OF THEM!
So it's finally the end of what has to have been the longest and most grueling school year ever. I'm currently celebrating by having myself some beer, which may account for the crappy writing style. Yeah, that's it. After spending 2+ hours watching people with various degrees of talent, most of them disturbingly better than mine, present pretentious flash projects in my digital arts final, I damn well deserve a beer or two. Or a bottle of hard alcohol. Something like that.
If things go right, only two more years of this crap.
GO ME!

i'm drinking Aquafina water...
I used to think the world of fantasy was safe from commercialism, but while reading today I was greeted with the unfortunate reality that authors, too, sell out. Not once, but twice, the book used a specific product name where a generic "computer" or "mp3 player" would have sufficed. It wasn't a passing reference, or something required to develop the character, it was blatant advertising of a product.
I think I was going somewhere with this, but I've got other things to do....
