“Be so good they can’t ignore you.” - Steve Martin
full circle
My love’s another kind
From the first morning light, I can follow along
Chance to stumble and find, what turns out to be wrong
And my love’s another kind
From the top children yell
You can’t talk to me now
You can search for a while, while you’re rumbling around
What is it that makes me like this? Relentless searching for something I don’t understand. I’ve come full circle, once again. For being such an impulsive person, I’m becoming very predictable.
The United States of America on college education
| Student: I'm not going to go to college because I don't want to go into debt. |
| USA: YOU USELESS PIECE OF SHIT. YOU'RE GOING TO AMOUNT TO NOTHING YOU FUCKING SCUMBAG. YOU'RE THE REASON WHY MY TAXES ARE SO HIGH. |
| Student: I'm just going to attend a small community college instead. |
| USA: HAHAHA YOU WERE TOO STUPID TO GET INTO A GOOD UNIVERSITY. ENJOY YOUR MCDONALD'S DIPLOMA. |
| Student: I attended a four year university and received a diploma in a field I am interested in. Now I am $50,000+ in debt. |
| USA: YOU DUMBASS. WHY THE FUCK DID YOU GO TO COLLEGE WHEN YOU KNOW YOU COULDN'T AFFORD IT? YOU DIDN'T EVEN CHOOSE A USEFUL MAJOR EITHER. GOD PEOPLE LIKE YOU MAKE ME SICK. |
Now if you’re not “hot,” you are expected to work on it until you are. It’s like when you renovate a house and you’re legally required to leave just one of the original walls standing. If you don’t have a good body, you’d better starve the body you have down to a neutral shape, then bolt on some breast implants, replace your teeth, dye your skin orange, inject your lips, sew on some hair, and call yourself the Playmate of the Year. How do we survive this? How do we teach our daughters and our gay sons that they are good enough the way they are? We have to lead by example.
