Rants from the jobless and sleep deprived

It's 2:09 in the morning, and so far this is the most productive thing I have done all day. Why am I awake at 2:09 (actually its 2:10 now) you ask? Well that would be because my life is full of nothingness and boredom until that faithful day comes when I get a call on my cell phone from an employer just dying for my help. Until that day I sit and I wait, filling my time with internet surfing, reading, and movie watching. This abundance of free time has given me the opportunity to observe a few things and mull them over in my mind. On of those things is the incredible big-headedness and audacity that some people carry around them like an aura that you sometimes can't see, but never actually goes away. It amazes me that day after day people brag about what they have seen or done like it is some sort of superhuman feat and we should all bow at there feet, or at the least tell them how "awesome" they are. But frankly, hearing some dude speak or seeing a famous person doesn't make you the man. It makes you one of thousands of people that heard and saw that person. Congratulations, maybe next time you can do something productive like taking your foot and shoving in you arrogant mouth.

Ok, this is the part that I apologize for some of the stuff that I have written. I would, but truthfully, I don't care and I'm not sorry. What do these people want? Do you want me to applaude you? Tell you that it is so cool that you saw someone famous? I'm just really confused. Since when did seeing someone count for anything? It all goes back to the screwed up priorities of humans everywhere. We think that somehow we are better because we saw someone cool rather than, I don't know...helped a homeless person, talked to a friend about a rough time they are going through, or just working hard at your job to help others. These are the people that I think are awesome. These are the people that I wish I could give applause to without people thinking I'm crazy.

So please, next time you want to brag about your "accomplishments", make sure you have actually done something that required more than opening your eyes. And realize that everyone thinking you are cool will never solve the insecurities you hold against yourself. Get some sleep world, we have a lot of people watching to do tomorrow.

Peace and love.
