All The Lonely People

 


What's going on with the Japanese youth? Occasionally I watch a young lady from Japan who goes through her normal daily routine. She lives alone, but she lives well. When she cooks she has huge amounts of vegetables and really puts an effort into making it delicious and beautiful. She does this for herself. We never see her face as she moves about her tiny apartment. She does have a nice wardrobe and doesn't seem to be in any financial bind, unlike the two mopes that have recently entered my YouTube feed. The first one is a young man who must be the most miserable human on the planet. If what he says is true, it is a pretty awful existence. He claims to work sixteen plus hours a day, yet can barely survive on his pay. Apparently quitting isn't easy in Japan. Then today, a woman who could be sad sack's sister is also in distress. As she ate her ramen from a styrofoam cup she looked online to hire an agency which will do the quitting for you so you don't have to face your boss. It costs about $160 US dollars. Both sad sacks can't afford real food so they buy their dinner at 7-11. That cracks me up. 7-11 was the Holy Grail (Grill?) back in my day. Giant slurpees and hotdogs on a rotisserie 24/7. Damn, that was living. I don't know what happened to 7-11 here, but they are big in Japan. The sad sack girl didn't beg for money like the male did but it definitely is their wish for you the viewer to help them out. It's also sad to note how ashamed they feel that they are alone. All three bring this up. That's some real cultural propagandist guilt happening there.

Anyway, a lot of people want to record their misery on YouTube and seem to have found an audience who will watch as they sleep, eat and shuffle through life like zombies. If I could come up with a gimmick I'd do it too. Sad sack American woman at the end of the month, trying to create a meal with oatmeal and one onion. Lol. Then I'd take the bus somewhere, maybe McDonald's and watch people eat. Or, head to a Buc-ee's, which is a 7-11 on steroids and rummage through the day old items on sale. I will trudge home and heat up a plate of cheese curds as think about tomorrow.

Seriously though, Japan, as much as I like some things about it, their ideology that life is about the team while individuality is frowned upon, needs to end. Working 16 plus hours a day, then going home so exhausted you crawl into bed without changing your clothes is abusive. One for all and all for none is what should cause the citizens to rise up and rebel but can't be done if all for none. So, nevermind. 

But, who am I to give nonsensical advice, considering how we have allowed our democracy to go to shit in a minute and a half. Anyway, I'm going to go make a breakfast of cereal remains I found in the back of a kitchen drawer, sprinkled with a leftover cup of half and half and then wash my socks in toilet water. I hope you subscribe and ring my bell.

She's Still Dead

   Ashli Babbitt was a traitor to this country. They can have all the ceremonial shenanigans the military likes to present as the deceased has been offered full military honors (We all know who requested that) it still won't negate the fact that she and thugs like her stormed a government building to do harm to others. They shit in the hallways. They carried confederate flags. They brought zip ties, bats and rage. The current regime can sugar coat it all they want but one day the orange man will be manure for his golf course grass and we can go back to truth being important. She deserved to be shot. More of them should have been shot that day. Every police officer should have followed the example of the police officer who did his job that day. These deplorables remind me of the fictional character, Ignatius J. Reilly, a lazy, selfish narcissist who decided to gather the factory employees in protest of some useless, archaic self indulgent mischief. He brought from home his soil...

Benny, Benny And No Regrets

  It's just so hard to keep up with maga creeps. Here's Benny  Johnson, the guy who started the rumor that DC was a cesspool. He also claimed his house burned down while his family was in it. He's a liar. His house never burned down. You really can't believe much of what this asshat says because he has a habit of playing with facts. He also likes to steal other people's words. He has been fired and suspended numerous times for plagiarism, at least 41 times. It just boggles my mind when these people blatantly lie, then are outraged when called out. People like Johnson, Trump and Leavitt have probably lived their whole lives creating a make believe existence where lying is the norm. At some point it just becomes routine where they find lying acceptable and necessary. To me they are empty shells of mindless walking automatons. They live in a bubble of falsehoods. These are the people in charge of our country.  The NYTimes has done a story about Pinocchio Johnson. I dec...

An Empty Vessel

He fills his head with Bible quotes  to silence the storm inside  An empty, hollow shell he mimics in disguise  You were not wanted You were unplanned  You are a nothing You have no stand  He bows his head and speaks in tongues  to still the flames of rage the pretender, fake, the fraud  hiding in plain sight You were a mistake  A thirty minute accident  a constant regretful memory  who seeks reason to breathe  from holy ghosts  and devils in red ties  the more you take the lesser man you are smoke and mirrors a shifting shape unseen  You are a mistake  You know it well A fake, a fraud, a lie. *Yes, I'm thinking of a certain someone we know.
