Ya see? DO YOU SEE?? That this is the stuff that has me laughing and crying at the same time?? Every minute that I don't see something like this is a precious moment in time when I can pretend that everything's going to be fine. But then it all comes crashing down. There it was, last night, on TV: “Hefty Garbage Bags, Now in Lavender Vanilla.” Now in Lavender Vanilla. NOW IN LAVENDER VANILLA?? A garbage bag. A – GARBAGE – BAG.
Do you see now?? Do you get it? Are you taking this all in?? I really need Bob Goldthwait's voice here, because that's how I feel right now, and typing it SURE AIN'T SUFFICIENT........Y'know, everyone thinks it's all about the big stuff – wars, disease, poverty, hunger, but nobody notices all the really tiny, tiny shit that's at the root of goddamn everything....Women buying jewelry – jewelry? - for their fucking PURSES? 30 different kinds of Fig Newtons?? My social networking site needs it's own social networking site??? You know, right? That it's not getting better, it's getting worse and nobody gives a shit...NOBODY......How is this okay with EVERYONE, that EVERYTHING is going to hell and nobody gives a flying FUCK......Can you tell me this??????
I just wanna know how it's all gonna end. That's all.
