don't miss a thing (never sleep) or fade back into the woorkwork of your life and leave yourself behind (along with just about everything else that ever mattered to youy except that little bit that hangs on almost accidently like that stuff between the riidges of your souls that you are not exactly certain what it is and you hope it isn't anything that might smell bad that you are used to so you can't smell it anymore if you know nwhat i mean...
right, yeah, so i caught you up on the past day or two and had fun plkaying with the words while the tv amused me in the backgroung with a few semi-interesting shows and a high school academic contest that scared me cuz the students were so relatively ignorant of so much and i answered every single question (senility does not have me jhust yet) and now, some snl that may never been what i remember it to be even if i got all the current cultural references...
i really want to enjoy the culture, but commerical arts and crafts sometimes are so biased and misguided that creativity and talent are sold out for some nepotism or random selection, like the jonus brothers, for instance, who seem to have everything in their fasvor, the music business machines, the disney push, marketing, songwriting, back up musicians, everything except talent... there are so many better performers in unknown bands floating around out there, it makes me sad...
it being what the music and entertainment business does to the average easily influenced adolescent... there is some great talent out there, but the ones sold as the best like the jonasses and miley must have the honor and backing and creating support because of their family connections because strickly on their talent i double they'd get to hollywood if they tried out for american idol (not that that is the litmus test for talent, but they have been doing pretty well over the years)...
if i've alienated you, well, you may just be another empty headed american adolescent fooled by the entertainment machine and i guess you wouldn't get pink floyd's wish you were here cd at all (no less the wall), or the us constitution or orwell, huxley, nitsche, vonnegut, poe, thompson, hale, franklin, heinlein, sartre, rousseau, or suess, for that matter but listen (and hold the books as if you are reading) anyway cuz it could make you seem cooler than you are...
are we in thereal yet?... party on narf :)
