New stuff
It has been awhile, But I am flipping tired and my back hurts so I figured I would compose a quick blog so as to let people know I am still alive. Nothing serious today, my life has been so chock full of serious it would seem overkill to blog about it. Today I just want to make mention of a few things I have noticed of late and how stupid they are.
First off, the rise of THE ANTIOXIDENT! Alright, so has anyone else been paying attention to the not so slow take over of the word antioxidant? I started noticing it in my tea, then it was in my juice. One day in the shower, I look down and there are antioxidants in my shower gel to help me make it through the day. Now, I can buy Shampoo, pet food(fluffy needs his dose of antioxidants), soda, and toothpaste all with helpful antioxidants. I, (and I think most people), have no flipping clue what these amazing and only recently discovered things are. I am going to guess that they are just another name for vitamins and the newest and dearest buzz word in advertising. In a society that wants to eat tons of crappy food and then take a vitamin or drink a cup of tea that will magically make them immune to everything. Bad words like exercise and vitamins and eating healthy get worn out. Now we have a completely new thing. Antioxidants! If you can consume enough of them, then you will live forever and never even suffer from a cold. Or so sayeth the people who make commercials and advertisements(They are wise do not question them….Or else!). OK, some parts of that did not make sense, but I apparently did not get enough antioxidants in my morning coffee so don’t blame me.
Second, I would like everyone to take a moment and think about how serious and important your work is. Now, if you are a doctor or a nurse, or a police officer than you can approach your work with some seriousness. But even in those lines of work, there are many things, CYA paperwork that are not a world ending calamity. People take their work WAY to frickin seriously now adays. I have temped in many a different office, and let me tell you. While it is important that people show up and do their work and stuff gets done so the gears of the soul killing machine can continue to grind it is also not necessary on almost every level to be freaked out and super serious about your work. Things will get done, and if they don’t it probably means someone is expecting way too much of you and you should move to another job. Everyone in a developed country around the planet seems to get this but us. OK, by everyone I mean, all of the developed countries I don’t make fun of all the time. Sorry, but Japan is a pretty easy target. And China does not count, because so much of their population is living in substandard conditions.
Seriously, it is like the world is looking less and less at what is going on and what is important and concentrating more on the idiotic idea of progress and competition. Gahh, why can’t people look at themselves and try to change things. Why can’t we realize that working a 65 hour week is not a healthy happy way to live. Maybe kids really should have healthcare even if they can’t afford it. OK, well I jumped off the end into seriousness. Can’t help it, everything needs so much work I can only joke about how we are going to hell in a hand basket for so long.
Take care o’yourself…..
