So my significant other is telling me to post something in my gaia journal.. so I'm going to copy and paste from my myspace to here. Enjoy.
I'm in the mood tonight, I got into it at work, and decided hey, I'll carry it on here.
why do 8 year olds need cell phones? the kids should barely be able to remember their home phone number, and at most spend 5 minutes at a shot on the phone with their friends. Now I see them walking around the mall yakking on their phones, wearing almost non existent clothing in the females case, or 50 dollar t shirts and 200 dollar jeans in the males. first, why are the parents shelling out this cash? otherwise your kid may not "love you"? (cough cough OR YOUR MONEY cough) or maybe to make up for the fact both mommy and daddy have to work over time to pay for the s**t these kids want, thanks to pre pubescent MTV viewing and commercials aimed at these kids for s**t that will make them seem cooler and older.
what the ******** are these kids doing in the mall even? when i was a kid the most time i spent in the mall was hanging out at the toy store, wasting my allowance on small toy frogs, while my mother was in safeway shopping. or for very brief periods of christmas shopping. these kids should be going to the local indoor pool, or hanging out at each others houses, hitting each other with dirt clods, poking dead birds with sticks, playing with those cheap a** no name barbies and making home made clothes (like those wonderful impoverished third world children working for mattel). playing house, and cowboys and indians. riding bikes, scraping knees. not hanging around the ******** mall posing like they are all "cool". and seriously, next 12 year old I have ask me for a ******** smoke, I am going to deck them out (so long as I'm not on my way to work) I'm tired of it, when you are old enough to either get a fake ID and pass it off, or pass it off without the ID, then you can smoke, until then, ******** off no, i won't buy you a god damn pack of smokes, or boot you one because i don't smoke. I will buy you enough booze to drink your a** into the hospital, but i draw the line at nicotine.
hell talking about nicotine, why on earth do some people decide to smoke, while pregnant, and act PROUD OF IT! what is wrong with you people? hell there's some who even smoke weed while pregnant, are you trying to make your kid naturally as stupid as you are after smoking up every day for years on end?, wanna smoke some weed, when your young, and stupid,or old and really stressed out? or even just for the sake of getting stoned when really it harms no one but yourself? FINE, but when you are carrying a baby, you deserve to get a kick in the head.
and why are there 13 year olds, getting knocked up, and still drinking, and smoking and dropping acid, I am not one for "big brother" parenting, but ********, you obviously haven't even talked to your kid candidly, or honestly about it. ******** it, telling your kid you smoked weed when you were a teenager is NOT giving them a free pass to do it themselves. Any rational human being should be able to make that decision, and I doubt you saying you toked a little herb in your day is going to turn your kid into a pot smoking coke dealer, simply show them that it wasn't such a bad thing (so long as you are an alright parent) and that it won't end their life, contrary to the amazing advertising going around. You can turn out to be a well rounded individual, so long as you don't smoke yourself stupid, the more you demonize this s**t, the cooler it will be to kids. that's why all these anti smoking adds are working for the cigarette companies more then the anti smoking lobbyists. it's making ti see rebellious, more then just stupid. My dad smokes, I don't, and don't intend on starting, my dad tells me stories about the friends he hung out with, all dropping acid and doing crazy s**t, and about himself trying out stuff like thai sticks, or just smoking weed, I didn't immediately thing "OMGOMGOMG I HAVE TO GO TRY THIS NOW" no i thought "wow, my dad was just honest with me, showing me that drugs won't end my life, but that you have to grow up eventually and give the s**t up". even my mom admitted to trying weed (it gave her migraine headaches she says... hence showing she probably tried more then once) they trusted me to make my own decisions, and if i ******** up they go "well you ******** up, learn anything?" instead of most parents who wouldn't even take notice if their kid had a gaping bullet hole in their chest when they came to dinner...
no. the parents are to busy worrying about their jobs, their house, their bills, their car, their clothes their status among the neighbors, their co workers, other parents in the school, other parents across the country because doctor phil says something about a certain "dis order" either them or their kids might have and how they must deal with it by talking to some shrink (and despite him being against medication, shrinks are not, I think they own stock in the drug companies or earn commission) or doing some special family exercise. honestly, who the ******** is doctor phil to tell people their family is ******** up, chances are his home life is either non existent, he's to busy playing preacher, or right knackered. doctor phil isn't even the worst of them though, people are their own worst critics. these people are so over loaded with s**t, and feel they MUST use every hour of the day, they don't second guess anything. they just listen to what all the bull s**t magazines tell them, and the TV (when they can wrestle it away from their kids) . people need to take some ******** time, they are made to think they will only live till next year and need to buy as much s**t as they can in that time, then next year, when everything either breaks or is obsolete.. they replace it all over smile or else they appear to be bad parents, poor, or completely out of touch with society.
speaking of up grading, why on earth do people feel this need to have the newest, fastest, best things, when for the average person, they don't even need it. how many people need to carry around 60 gig's of music? I mean I wouldn't mind a 60g ipod, but I know i don't need it. why does a t shirt with nothing more then a half inch logo, or even a completely covering logo, cost more then $25? you're advertising for the ********, you should get a discount, especially when the person who made that shirt, or designed that logo, or did any "real" work on it, only get a meager few cents per shirt...
okay, I'm just burning out now.. I'm done, maybe one day I'll add to all this. pirate
