*The following is a polemic rant. You've been warned*
So I am totally blown by the amount of ridiculousness in the world right now. I'm so overwhelmed by it all that I'm seriously on my Octavia game, pondering the necessity or need for humanity at all. A close friend said it's gonna take an extinction level event for people to care and I agree, although I wonder why the threat doesn't feel imminent to people right now.
BP Oil Spill cleanup won't be done til 2014 and that's a conservative estimate.
Wyclef has the nerve to run for president of Haiti (haven't the Haitian People suffered enough?! Yo, even Jeff Spicoli is saying fall back!). Seriously?!
Landslides and fires are wiping places off the map!
Google, whose public mantra was "Don't be evil" has recently reincarnated into the Devil himself and is teaming up with Verison to make the internet even more inaccessible and costly for folks.
I don't really even f*ck with the Obamas like that but Michelle trip to Spain being touted as really insensitive makes no sense as people tune in to television that stays supporting extravagant lifestyles. I want to compare prices between her trip to Spain and the Cast of Real Housewives of New Jersey's trip to Italy.
And speaking of Bravo TV, Top Chef killed Kenny! (You Bastards!!!) I don't want to go into all the ways that this was racist and I'm sure there will be those who want me to prove it but I have to say I'm done with that. I'm done with proving and explaining why racism is ever present despite a Black man in the oval office (post racial world my ass!).
Shirley Sherrod, Antoine D, The Tea Party, bigoted churches, are all evidence in a case we are continually trying to prove, though the judge, jury, and prosecutor are all one in the same.
I'm done. I am moving away from the (in)justice system and embracing my new love, Nihilism. At least she makes sense to me and I don't have to finish my dissertation…
