Celine Dion Still Sucks

There's such animosity being thrown around lately and I think much of it is due to the fact that we are running out of ways to define ourselves in an original manner. The role of an artist, for example, was once thought of to be an outsider of society who looked in and painted images in the way he regarded it. That very synopsis (if you can call it that) is now considered cliche (for lack of a better word) purely on the fact that it is perpetuated by so-called individuals who make it a conscious point to adhere to that given stereotype. Now we find ourselves defining an identity by virtue of something we are not.

My musical tastes are more refined because I don't listen to Celine Dion.

So you qualify your essence based on a the subversion of an easy target. Good job. So what the hell does that mean? What does that say about you? That you don't have poor taste in music? So what? Not everyone likes the same thing so you're a fucking moron for liking that and you're not? If that's the case there must be millions of fucking morons running around the world because that's how many people bought her album. I was also privy to the line of thinking that the world is full of idiots with bad taste in music and what that meant was that the world is also full of idiots making stupid decisions regarding things that matter like say, driving and SUV or stuffing their mouth pieces with bat-anus big macs and throwing our world into the pisser. You get to a point where you can just start to hate everyone and everything that moves because HEY FUCKING WAKE UP: NO ONE THINKS LIKE YOU! You're SOOO unique and if you buy these clothes, read this magazine, and eat this shit you're proving to everyone you're not THEM. God no! You're the one of the cool people, you wear DIESEL and so you must be helping the environment.

You see what just happened there?

On the flip side our interweb crazed society has allowed for many people to make more informed choices about their lifestyle. We can choose to be conscious about our actions because we are granted the luxurious (which it shouldn't be) information of the processes involved. We aren't easily fooled by marketing ploys and don't just blindly eat the shit that get constantly thrown at us. But my point is that we still ridicule the ones we see as not enlightened. I use the word 'enlightened' because I'm trying to illustrate the point that it's absolutely just as detrimental to continue the 'othering' of those we see fit as ignorant. If we're so 'enlightened' then it's our job to spread the gospel. So to speak. We're going to lead by example. Follow us into the new form of mainstream and don't be afraid of being there. The line of rationale that promotes these false virtues would eventually propel us to a point where we revert back to stone-age mind sets that subverts anything and everything for the sake of that itself.

Dude, Celine Dion sucks balls man.

Yeah totally. Let's just watch these three hot chicks barely play their instruments while they drone on in bad poetry and sayings in different languages we don't understand.

Yeah man. That's art.

Yeah.

I had to say it...

So in the spirit of our wonderful government not adhering to the Kyoto Protocol, I have decided to jump on the bandwagon and wank out my own pollutants in the form of anti-intellectual love juice all over this inter web.

Unlike my friend Unkieherb, I will not have anything politically or socially meaningful to say. This will be indeed in the fullest spirit of blogging as it will be just another unpublished hipster jerkoff that wants to get heard, somehow. If my collegue is an intellectually stimulating documentry, then I will unabashedly be a reality television show. Absolute trite. My only hope is that this might help you kill some time in ways that FaceCrack helps us waste time. We are creatures of excess so I'm here to provide another option. I can't even guarentee that it'll be "okay" much less "good".

Don't say I didn't tell you so.
The education system forces unlikely bedfellows to be piled tightly into a confined space in which the subjects are then forced to construct relationships with one another. In some cases the ties are harmonious, almost serendipitous and the subject florish. But in most cases it's just a way of conditioning individuals to follow a line of conduct that allows them to integrate congruously into "normal society".



Now, the only thing I have left in common with most of you is that we share the same institute name on our diploma. I don't care what you've been up to. There's a reason I don't keep in contact with you. I don't want to reminice on times that I'm still trying to forget. I'm sure you feel the same way. I can see the look on your eyes when you ask questions that you yourself don't even care to know what the answer is. This is most certianly anti-social behaviour but I don't see myself as acting out because before I put myself in that situation I was just dandy. You're only kidding yourself if you've never had this thought go through your head. The thing is, no one wants to say it out loud. Don't worry, this one's on me.



I know what I'm getting myself into when I attend these functions and for that I'm a fucking idiot. I didn't really think that this time would be different. You all have better friends you could be spending your time with still we succumb to yet another cock comparison fest.



It probably would have been better if I came into the situation with a better attitude. But then again that's what I'm conditioned to do. To give into that notion is to really would be to perpetuate the lie all over again.
