#53 “At the beep, please leave your name, number, and a brief justification for the ontological necessity of modern man’s existential dilemma, and we’ll get back to you” Troy Dyer - Reality Bites 1994
Ok... had to throw in a chick flick here. Come on... we know you've been dragged to them too at some point in your lust for sore eyes days, so just listen. Doesn't reality ultimately bite sometimes? Don't you wish you could undermine the whole reality, and live in your fantasy world? Ok... well not the Disneyland fantasy world, but, the strive to have a good time with no consequence world. You know...the make believe false reality we sometimes take mental breaks to throughout the day. The weak, split second of mindless thought.
If reality actually did bite so bad, why do we compete the daily bump and grind to uncover our own existence in reality?
Are we drowning in self pity and sorrow when we are reality struck? Are we engaging in high expectations of others we are surrounded by because we want what we want when we want it?
Are we saying, love stinks, chicks clean and men sweat?
So... this damn TV commercial is stuck in my head. Don't you just hate that when that happens? Its where this woman throws out her old mop for a new mop; I couldn't tell you what kind of mop it was, but it was cheesier than cheddar. Anyways, the mop is all pissed off, and the song, "love stinks" starts to play in the background.
Dude...are you serious???? Now even commercials are showing the concept of throw something out because the new model is better? WOW we have come so far... so far.
Doesn't love stink though, I mean the world is about love, right? I wish they would just tell the truth.
THE WORLD JUST WANTS TO GET LAID!!!!
That's why people fall in love, that's why people want to trade in old mops for new mops. No reality check needed there... just a ride on the fantasy train. A choo choo..... chugga chugga chugga... F you. Literally. Literally. Back to reality here... a little blurp in time, a little chase for gratification got me sidetracked.
Are you living in your reality or your fantasy?
"There's no point to any of this. It's all just a... a random lottery of meaningless tragedy and a series of near escapes. So I take pleasure in the details. You know... a Quarter-Pounder with cheese, those are good, the sky about ten minutes before it starts to rain, the moment where your laughter become a cackle... and I, I sit back and I smoke my Camel Straights and I ride my own melt" - Troy
If you could live in your fantasy for just a day, what would that fantasy entail? Would it be worth it? Could you say... Damn my reality bites?
