Impressing Others is a Waste of Time

Has impressing other people ever brought you actual success, happiness, security, or fulfillment in life? And if so, how? Is life smooth sailing for you now that you’ve wasted energy impressing those around you? And when you impress one group of people, there will always be another group that doesn’t approve of you.

It’s a waste of time. Do what is right, do what you must. Don’t get caught up in popular opinion or what other cool people think you should do. Time to grow up.

British Accents in “Historic” Films is Ridiculous

What’s this obsession Hollywood has with writing British accents into every “accurately” portrayed or “historic-epic” movie? It seems like one acclaimed block buster after another is taken dead serious as being close to real events when in fact they should be looked at as a complete joke. Films like Alexander, Troy, Gladiator, 300, just to name a few, are perfect examples of this nonsense. Come on! We are supposed to believe that because the main character is speaking in some cool British accent that it has historical relevence and is legitimate to the story? It’s ridiculous. I know it is just a movie, but people turn around and say that it is so “true to life” as if that’s how it was? And I didn’t even mention how insane it is that the characters in these films are speaking English in the first place. How historically accurate is that? Or is it that we are too lazy to read subtitles and must pretend that the Romans spoke perfect English..oh and in a British accent? Who the hell makes this stuff up? I am not buying it people.

And why do they feel the need to always summarize years of complex historical events within a few cool italic lines of text? These are cute talking points, but come on now. What the hell is this? Are you kidding me? Has the audience really becoming this ignorant to throw awards at this garbage? It’s a comedy, not a serious film. What’s next? Are they going to do a film set in ancient Japan, but have all the Samurai’s speaking english? Wait….it’s already been done.

Boost Your Ego

I’ve always wondered why we focus so much time and effort on impressing people we don’t necessarily like. I still can’t figure it out, but I’m sick of it.

Of all the things on this earth we choose to focus our time on….we decide to focus on appearance and image. What a bunch of nonsense. Do you ever get sick of it? I don’t care who you are or where you come from, you must be sick and tired of putting so much thought into how you come across to other people. And not only in your appearance, but in what you say or do. I’m not saying you should act on every single natural instinct you come across, but I’m saying that it’s ridiculous to get dressed up in a monkey suit every day and parade around in flashy cars to gain approval from society. What are we trying to prove anyways? Who are we fooling? Did we fool ourselves yet? Perhaps we have, but in the meantime I suggest you keep feeding your ego and telling yourself how wonderful you are. Keep worrying about your appearance and possessions to let others know what good taste you have.

Forget about the important things in life as they are truly secondary. It’s all about you.

Because They Said So

We form many of our opinions, traditions, routines, and beliefs on the simple principle of “because they said so”. Think about it, when is the last time you researched facts on important issues for yourself? And I mean actual research that goes deeper than reading one random blog (like this garbage). And not just from listening to the banter coming from some Lego-haired and gaudy news anchor, or from your gossip lipped co-workers who can’t handle their own issues in life, but have the key to solving the entire worlds problems. It’s all a bunch of nonsense and I’m sick and tired of it. Sick and tired. Did you get that?

I’m sick of people always doing exactly what they are expected to do and without questioning anything. I mean, they question things, but still within their boundaries and guidelines. For example, instead of considering the candidates for Republican, Democratic, or even Independent parties, why aren’t we questioning whether or not ANY of these morons are qualified to run this country. Every thought of that? We simply accept what we think is popular, because “they” said it was. We’re going through the motions, supporting what is known, listening to what is popular, and what is broad casted in the mainstream. It must be somewhat accurate right…they said it in the media… well screw the media. It’s only there to fit someones interest and it revolves around hearsay and hype. Why stay in the same box and never attempt to learn about point of views that may not be convenient for us to listen to.

People are painfully predictable these days. If someone leans right in their opinions, they listen to everything fed from the right. If they lean left, they buy up all the propaganda from the left. If someone is undecided, they don’t listen to anything at all, but use their time to complain instead of forming a damn opinion and establishing a new choice for their society.

I say there is always a new choice, and it begins with common sense. Take every situation with a grain of salt and research it for yourself. Don’t just read one book on a subject, read several books. Don’t just meet one person from a different culture, meet several people. Don’t settle for one radio station with your favorite like minded ideas, listen to them all and you will hear that much of it has the same agenda.

The want you to believe that you need to stand in line and support the popular groups in life. That’s a bunch of bullsh**. You are the future and you can decide what happens every day. It’s never been about the majority, it has always been about the choices YOU make as an individual and the decisions everyone can control in their daily lives.

Why Isn’t Murder a Good Thing?

I got your attention didn’t I? Maybe it’s because you (as a human being) have some level of consciousness and probably hold a strong position on the issue of murder. Of course I’m not here to support the position that murder should be seen as a good thing, but I am here to remind you that everyone believes that murder is bad (if even when happening to them or their loved ones). The reason I remind you of this is that it often seems popular for people to take the position of accepting several crack pot ideas as valid “opinions” or as being significant to what “other people” believe. In most cases, this kind of nonsense sounds more like an excuse to appear open minded, cultured, and tolerant. I believe it is quite the opposite. But my real question to our society is this: Why is murder a bad thing? Can you explain it to a crowd of people who don’t believe in the same things you do? And what if someone from a different background or culture thinks it is acceptable to murder someone? Do they have the right to murder others simply because they think it is a good idea?

If you are someone who holds personal morals or standards in life, you probably understand why you believe what you do. But if you’re one of these people who claim to believe in nothing and whine about how meaningless existence is, then why care about murder? Why care about genocide, war, injustice, rape, oppression, or anything at all for that matter? Honestly, if we’re just a bunch of animals placed here by chance, why does anything matter at all? I know my examples are extreme, but we live in a world that has become very extreme in it’s thinking and this is getting more out of hand every day. I wonder why so many individuals who claim to be “open minded” don’t see that there are in actually rules in life. I personally don’t believe in brainwash, but I also don’t believe in this ridiculous “anything goes” mentality either. I call it common sense, but some may call it conviction, morals, or social standards.

We do in fact expect things of people on this earth, regardless of their religion, culture, or background. So what are your standards in life? How low are you willing to go to please someone? This may be of little consequence if it comes to minor issues, but when it comes to dealing with world philosophies and opinions, you must realize that people think differently and that thinking differently does not give anyone the right to justify those beliefs if they are…INSANE. Murder is obviously one of these insane philosophies, so my point is that for all you morons out there who love to say “it’s all relative” and “to each their own”, I say (f*** you), wake up and start taking an actual position for justice and good. Use logic and open your eyes…hopefully you will do the right thing.

I Don’t Love You, I Love My Car

Everyone seems to love their toys and possessions more than they love other people.

So why don’t we just come out and say it more often and stop fooling ourselves. We may as well be honest with our misguided greedy minds that have become so warped by obtaining “stuff”. The next time you buy a new car, I think it would be humorous to walk into house and yell out, “hey kids, we’re home”. And if you ever get into an argument with your significant other, you can tell them the truth, which is that you don’t love them, you love your car. You would rather fill the void in life with things that do not fight back or take time to grow in a relationship with. Why would you?

Besides, you are probably such a great person that you have no problems to work on anyways, so you may as well focus more time on obtaining more stuff. Keep loving and praising your achievements and possessions, as I’m sure they will come back to help you when your life is finished.

EgoAssassin Vocabulary Lesson – “Don’t Jam Me Up”

For some reason I woke up today and decided I was going to start using the phrase “Don’t Jam Me Up” as much as humanly possible. I don’t know why I came to this conclusion, but I must say that I think this phrase has top notch comedy value and it simply sounds good to me (for some reason). What does it mean? Well who knows. I mean really, what does any catch phrase actually mean anyways? Usually coin phrases and slogans are just what their titles suggest……a stupid saying. But in my opinion, this phrase “don’t jam me up” could mean “don’t waste my time”, or maybe it means “leave me alone” or “don’t cramp my style”, or possible it means “don’t add to my problems”. But the bottom line is that I’m going to start using it, I don’t care what anyone thinks it means, but it can fit into so many ridiculous conversations. The more I think about it, the more I realize how well it can work on multiple levels and it is actually quite funny to hear as a serious comment, for example in response to a serious question or concern.

So please, don’t jam me up and let me live.
