LightsideDarksider My college just sent my family a check of $2700. I have no idea how the ******** that happened. I must've really pleased somebody. Rebate maybe? I know my friend got about $5000 in FAFSA and only used $3000 of it, and he got a check for the remaining $2000. And got $5000 more with the next semester.

So when I was downtown picking up canvases for Sean today, I saw five or six stores closing. The places were empty; shelves missing, no merchandise, everything that was left was priced so low that they were practically begging to be bought for whatever anyone could afford. Nobody was shopping; nobody can afford to shop.
It was... depressing. I hate money as much as the next hippie and I'll be happy to see it go when the financial system finally collapses, but seeing people like this just makes me feel so helpless. Grocery stores watch their food rot while people busk outside to make enough for a loaf of bread that, if they didn't pay for it, would just end up being thrown out anyway. My sister yells at me for eating the three-day-old leftovers she has no intention of touching, simply because they are hers. There are dozens of homeless people downtown, as well as dozens of empty rooms, just like the one across the hall from me, whose owners would rather they stay empty than let some "lazy unemployed slob" live under their roof for free. People pay $1.20 for gas and leave the majority of the seats in their car empty. What is "mine" seems to be more important than what is logical.
And whenever I talk to anyone but Sean about this, all I get is "that's just how the world works." I've heard that a hundred ******** times and I don't ******** care. I want to know why. What could have driven the race to this absolute madness? How did it get this far out of hand? When is it going to stop? Why are the people who point out how ridiculous this is the ones who are made out to be ridiculous? What the <********>, honestly?

...............You get your gas for $1.20!? Where the hell are you getting YOUR gas!?
But also, I think it's a shared-defense-mechanism among people; when something is true, and especially when the truth isn't so pretty, turn it into something ridiculous so that they can just Laugh it off and not feel guilty about it. That's why we have cliche's, stereotypes, stand-up comedians/politicians....it's kinda sad how the people who stand up for the Truth are bogged down by lies that make people feel better. =/

(That's litres, though; multiply by ~3.75 for a gallon.)
And I guess I can understand that mentality; it's hard to feel bad about anything if you're laughing. Making fun of it is probably the only way some people stay sane. Still, I hope they have a plan for when the joke stops being funny.

In fact, most comedians you come across are only funny because they're the most cynical people you'll meet. Unfortunately, this is one of the longest running jokes in History. Poverty isn't new, and niether are many of the other people we have, even if it's got a different face. This conversation reminds me of The Comedian from Watchmen. razz

Oh yeah, and while I was out, I stepped into the pawn shop (which is also closing sad ) and spent bus fare on VHS tapes. Flubber, the Tom and Jerry movie, and the Princess and the Goblin. (Was kinda hoping for Robin Hood, but whatev'.)
Anyway, ANYWAY
As soon as I got in the door and told Mel about how we totally had to watch Flubber, both she and Nikki started yelling and squealing like they'd just seen Sharkboy in a speedo. It turns out they had been talking about how they hadn't seen it in forever just a few weeks ago - they had even written its name on a DVD disc, but apparently couldn't find a torrent for it or something.
i look that synchronicity on disney movies wtf, i'm living proof thoughts are creative and i didnt even mean to :/
This sort of thing happens at least daily around here (think of something or someone -> shows up as soon as explicably possible), so it doesn't really shock me as much as it used to, but it still makes me happy when it does.

Like George Carlin. You know, I don't think he even meant to be a comedian. He was probably just pissed off and wanted to say something, and if that was the only way he could get people to listen, so be it. Not that I would know this or anything since I haven't like, researched him at all, but from the things he says, he seems genuinely irritated.
Maybe that's not so bad. I mean, yeah, if everyone cared and put in some serious thought and effort, things could probably get a lot better. But in the end, I don't think it matters if things get better or worse, or even stay the same, as long as everyone can find a way to be happy, whatever happens.

I'll bet that's exactly what happened though, seriously...Good way to get thoughts out there I guess. That's one way to think about it.

PayPal, you're a tweenie-vampire dickkk.
You're all sparkly on the outside, so I signed up,
and then it turns out you want me to confirm some "credit" with you,
so hey, yeah, check my blood so I can finally use my money and-
OH MY BLOOD DOESN'T TASTE GOOD?
Let me just use the money I already have and block any payments greater than that, 'kaaay?
'Kay, we cool, right?
No?
Goddammit, I'll just date a werewolf;
less hassle - just hunt three elk carcasses and roar for payment.
