I stopped watching TV, and now it seems most people have nothing to talk to me about.
That frustrates me.
I didn't catch that sporting event
I don't watch that show, and I don't want to talk about it
I haven't seen that particular advertisement and I certainly don't wish to have anyone relay their recollection of it
I don't know which athlete is fucking which new pop star on whatever island they're on
and I don't care what any of the billionaire's daughter/porn stars are wearing this week on whatever program they're pimping their wears through.
I am tired of swimming a sea of ignorance, while the hopeless bicker over their corn dogs and MTV. One crucial step away from becoming true zombies, living lives vicariously through a box that tells them what they want, gives them everything they want, and ends up costing everything they've got. Like I'm supposed to put a football sticker on my car and roll around without a smile on my face so I'm not ripped to shreds by the beleaguered masses who can smell that the blood pumping through my heart still contains happiness
And I'm even more annoyed that all of the above makes me the strange one.
