'JUST DON'T LOOK!'

Let us have a chat you and I.  I'll do most of the talking but I'm female....it's part of my genetic makeup to be a better oral communicator than you.  You.  Are.  Part.  Of.  This.  You are part of the problem masking itself behind a self-righteous ideology of contempt for those you think lower on the sanctimony scale.  This mask you wear appears honest in its message and truthful in its delivery.  Au contraire mon frere.  We cannot escape the truth of where our society is now.  We idolize those that have not deserved it and forget those that do for a flashier headline.  We are consumed by the medias message of beauty, success, passion and power.  Look beyond.  Look into yourself.  The Simpsons writers in their timeless wisdom created a Halloween episode in which all of their towns mascots and iconic figures came to gigantic life and wreaked havoc on it's people...until!  Paul Anka and his melodic message of 'Just Don't Look' saved the day.  Do not pay attention to these people made famous and popular by sheer sex-crazed, violent or outlandish behavior.  For generations we have created stars out of nothing more than by paying attention to them.  That includes sitting cross-legged on your soap box preaching distaste and malice in their general direction while simultaneously promoting their behavior!  If you are passionate about climate change, Preach!  If you are concerned in the manner in which our farmers are being cut out of the picture for a more efficient yet toxic method of harvesting our meal, PREACH!  You can choose to not participate.  Or, you can further the Spearyruskardashahiltons of the world by spouting your message of truth attached to a picture of the whole contradictory mess.  Telling people what not to pay attention to by posting pics of such examples is part of the problem.  Right now I'm part of it too in reprimanding those that don't fucking get it.  I'm too old and far too angry to sit idly by when I see a wrong that demands a right.  You are not helping.  You merely perpetuate the illusion of providing another way, another choice, a better alternative to us broken individuals.  Alas, you merely provide a covert forum for more garbage and distraction.  This is the only time I will speak of the idiots in the world who literally contribute less than nothing.  They teach our kids that only your body matters in this world and to have a brain is counteractive.  I didn't even know about the 'Achy Breaky Cyrus Mistaky' until I saw posts on ridiculous facebook about her behavior.  I wish I didn't know who these people were.  Unfortunately our times are about being connected to everyone everywhere all the time.  That includes those who don't deserve our attention or support.  Don't look.  Stop giving your time and attention to ass-shaking, giant foam finger fucking, half nude idiocy.  Even if you are trying to send a message about Syria while condemning the scantily clad exploits of Lady Gaga's latest trip to England(had to look that up to provide another example cuz who gives a shit about any of them), you are lending a hand to their ability to reach people.  Maybe you don't know what you do.  Maybe you are innocently trying to save the world through meme's and posts and the like.  Why not spend less time watching the headlines?  Make your own? Maybe this entry is self-righteous.  Maybe I too am to blame for the state of where our priorities rest.  Did I help to spawn Hannah Montana's career by listening to her dad's record when I was a kid?  I let in the mournful sounds of insipid country and now this?  This poor young woman attempting to make a name for herself by the only way she knows and sees how?  Teach your fucking kids to stop looking.  These people feed on attention and attention alone.  Sure, if we stop looking, some crazy goddamn shit will transpire....and then eventually, cease to.  Without our consent I do dare admit that this garbage would stop and we could go on worrying about the stuff that concerns us all.  Focus on those you love and the things that make a difference.  Combining truth with false behaviors only solidifies how far reaching this bullshit has become.  Pull yourself out...mostly from your ass, and pay attention to reality.  It's a far more entertaining distraction.
