The
Hidden Last Inch!
...And I actually thought for a second that people wanted
to ENJOY LIFE???
8/6/2004
So
today, I'm just walking home minding my own business when I
see this 'Yeshivish' looking guy (gigantic yarmulka) with
headphones in his ears, standing there in his front lawn.
And I'm thinking to myself, "Thank god for music. This
person can actually shut out all the crap of this world for
a just couple of seconds and listen to some good music." You
should know, it gives me great pleasure to see others
listening to music and enjoying it. It's something that I
really appreciate myself, and am glad when other people can
share that enjoyment too (so you see, I am not a selfish
person). But then something came hold of me. It felt like as
if someone just hammered a nail into my chest. As I
dreadfully began to notice, the headphones did not actually
lead to a high-tech MP3 player, or even a lousy CD or
cassette player. It instead led to this little object that
he was holding in his hand. A Nokia. I felt like running
over to the guy and ripping the stupid piece of crap out of
his hand, throwing it on the floor and stomping on it. But I
knew that he just wouldn't understand. He wouldn't realize
that it was an act of kindness that I was doing, and would
instead see it as a threat to his enjoyment, or his Nokia,
whatever the crap. Some people are just irredeemable, (like
Shop Rite coupons), right?
And it is many people who have this problem. Most of
them go their entire life without even noticing it. This is
because it has become acceptable in our society for people
to always be talking on their cell phones. I used to be able
to strike up interesting conversations with strangers in
subway stations, but now it seems that these people would
rather have two friends with cell phones, than ten without.
Yes, this is what these people do. They rack up their phone
bills and pay $300 a month, and if they're stuck paying
anything less, they hide their bill from their friends, lest
their friends should look down on them for not having used
up enough minutes that month. This is the world we live in.
People prefer hearing their friends bitch about how they got
ripped off at the supermarket on paper towels, to some
classic Black Sabbath. The headphones used to plug into
something else, my friends. People used to be able to get
high and kill a couple of hours. Now their friends are
calling them during their smoke-up sessions to go see a
movie. That's right, they're cutting your important therapy
session short for some stupid movie, probably one that's not
even worth downloading anyway. You people take this stuff
for granted, but you should realize that getting interrupted
while your toking is almost as bad as having your parents
walk in on you while you're getting lucky with a girl. Or
guy. Whichever way you people float. AND YET, you people
happily pick up the phone, put down your joint, and go see
that dumb movie.
I'm not gonna tell you people how to live. I will tell
you though, that it's sometimes good to accidentally step on
your phone battery, and take your time getting a new one.
It's also sometimes good to turn your phone off (and yes,
miss all those important calls) for some time spent with
yourself, only yourself, AWAY from all those evil people,
those who belong to that great big conspiracy, specially
designed to make YOUR life miserable. (I do hope that you
all know that your friends are not actually your friends,
but they are really your enemies with secret identities,
making you think that they're you're friends, while
really.........)
Is it "Rebellious Teens" or is it "Raging Hormones"?
5/2/2004
Well
I've got an answer for you. Remember a coupla months ago
there were these two "chassidishe" girls who 'disappeared'
and were found a week later in Arizona, wearing low-cut
jeans and such? Well, apparently, teens are BOTH rebellious,
AND have raging hormones. And what did they do? They
returned the girls to their parents, so that they'll hate
their parents, and being chassidish, even more, and our
Jewish congressman covered things up so no one should know,
or ask any questions, because it would ruin the girls'
reputations for when they try to get a shidduch. Well here's
my input: I think it's important that whoever they go out
with or more especially, who they marry, SHOULD know about
what they did, because it will help them better understand
them. Don't you agree? And maybe they're anyways not looking
for a stupid shidduch date. Maybe they don't even wanna
marry someone Jewish. Or get married at all. Who's to say?
And it's gonna ruin their rep and not get them dates? I'd be
more than glad to date a girl who's got balls to do that.
Wouldn't you? |
