The Dude Abides

Do you know what I see when I imagine?  I see our world.  It’s shitty, it’s downtrodden, and it is nowhere that I want to live.  In all fairness, this fucking place blows.  Welcome back readers.  I think I’ll make this a rather different type of post.  Be ready, what lies ahead waiting for your eyes could be hazardous to your ignorance.

We live in a world where nothing is sacred.  Nothing is above exploitation.  Look at it.  How much merchandise have you seen with Obama’s slogan on it?  How many times have you seen tee shirts with his face?  It pisses me off.  Even religion has television plugs.  Scientology, even in its insanely asinine views, has commercials.  It’s ridiculous.  Everything, every single fucking thing is about money.  Nobody wants to stop making money, or perhaps screwing others out of it, long enough to give two shits about anybody else.  You see it everyday.  We’re all part of it.  Think about it.  I do it, you do it.  How many times do you see somebody in need, but instead you pass on?  How many times do you half-assedly ask somebody what the matter is?  You don’t give a fuck how they’re doing, you’re just too busy to make real conversation.  No.  It’s all about analyzing people, figuring out how they can fit in to your scheme.  How they can help you better yourself.  You analyze how to use them.  That is our only business with people anymore.  It’s fucking sick, and I personally am done with it all.

Think about the last time you had a really, really in depth conversation.  Can’t remember, can you?  It’s because things like conversation are lost when you’re busy fucking people over, when you’re busy not caring.  I’ve recently had some of the most in depth conversations in my life.  You know what?  You tend to find out more about people when you stop and  just fucking listen for a minute.  Some people you hardly gave the time of day to before.  Now, however, you’re eyes are opened, and you realize that they’ve got a pretty good handle on life.  People, when given the chance to display it, are deeper than they appear.  But nobody has time to see it.  Nobody cares.  Just stop.  Believe it or not, when you just chill out, slow down, and stop running all the damn time, everybody benefits.  And that, learners and gentlelearners, is awesome.  When you start coming around to my system of education, you become happier.  Conversation, the ability to listen and respond.  Please, for your sake, bring it back, or forever fuck yourselves.

Look at our government.  It’s in shambles.  And it’s your own fault.  It’s my fault.  It is our fault.  Our economy?  It’s gone.  Greed and idiots combining to make our monetary system a big orgy of stupidity and recession and semen-coated money.  Now, I personally blame the idiots who were dumb enough to take out loans bigger than they could repay.  I also blame the even bigger, stupider, greedier fucks who gave out that loan.  They knew those people couldn’t pay it back, and they loved it.  They jerked off at night, thinking about all the anguish and anxiety they’d be putting those people through.  They wanted everything that person had, and that’s how they could obtain it.  Auto industries aren’t exempt either.  You’ve made shitty vehicles and passed them off as good, and we were stupid enough to believe it.  Twelve miles per gallon on the highway, but it can haul four fuckin’ trees.  WOOOOO!  I can’t speak for everybody, but I’ve never had to haul as much weight as they advertise.  It’s bullshit, it’s exploitation of our own stupidity.  That is both of our faults.  The immoral assholes that pull that shit, and the idiots that buy into that crap.  It’s all about money, and I’m done with it all.

Meanwhile, while we are fucking ourselves in the asshole, the government is nit picking.  They’re helping us out, right?  Of course they are, and their becoming stronger and more powerful is just a coincidence, right?  Wrong.  The government is beginning to take over our private industries.  They say they’re going to give it back, but do you trust them?  I don’t, and I even pushed for Obama.  It doesn’t matter who’s in the big seat, the situation remains.  They’re people, like us.  They’re greedy, like us.  They want power, and we’ve given it to them.  You say we can’t let those banks fail, or people will lose their homes.  Bullshit.  Tell that to the people who have already lost their homes.  Let those banks fail, it’ll be the best thing to ever happen to them.  Perhaps it will give the companies and their owners a sense of humility, but probably not.  Let them fail, but at least get the companies back to their shitty owners, and out of the hands of our shitty government.  We’re doing nothing but worsening the situaiton by bailing them out.  We’re going deeper into debt, and in the meantime building a false support system for our bullshit economy.  Letting banks fail will restore some sense of stability to our economy.  We just can’t keep borrowing.  Our credit will eventually run out, folks.  We’re awesome, but not immortal.  Fuck, if China called our tab right now, we’d be washing dishes for them for our whole lifetime, and probably your kids’ lives too.  A final shout out here.  Wall Street jerk offs, I fucking hate you, and I hope I can speak for some of my fan base when I say that.  You’ve given Congress reason to start really fucking around in the free market.  God help us all.

I, however, am only a man of words.  I can’t say I’m going to overthrow the government.  Mainly because I’m too lazy, but also because it is slightly frowned upon.  All I’m saying is that I’m done living in a world where we can’t stop screwing with each other long enough to realize the big picture.  We’re all in this together, assholes.  If we don’t realize that soon, we’re going to be completely and utterly shat on.  And that’s a lesson in AMERICAN democracy for you.  You’re welcome.

I shall now change the subject a bit.  No, I won’t.  There is no need.  I still feel the same, and it still blows.

Now I am done talking about the shit in the country, and people in general.  I am just done.  I feel absolutely no need to continue this any further.  Until next time America.  Take it easy.

P.S.  I still love you.
