Soup du Jour.

It's beyond ironic, how certain
people can sit conversing for
hours, yet not say ANYTHING
whatsoever.

I hate that. Being lost in a sea
of babbling. Where personal
tastes are thrown out like the
soup-du-jour that others are
expected to devour with int-
erest, when in reality one c-
ouldn't give two shits less.

Today it's music. Of the pop-
cultural variety. The most re-
cent talent-less hack who has
become famous more because
of the image they represent
than any natural, or acquired
ability possessed.

No one really sings anymore.
They just scream their ass off
to a repetitive, monotonous
beat and then try to pass their
nonsense off as creativity..
yet I'm the cynic for pointing
this out to those mouth-breathing
gum-chewers who suffer brain
damage from all the hairspray
they've absorbed through their
suffocating pores? (if so I wear
that label as a badge of pride.)

ah..great (I say from within my
head as the conversation shifts
to more senseless Pop Culture.)
Now it' Books and Literature.
Nice.

Something else that has mostly
DIED at the hands of talent-less
hacks who understand the rules
of grammar but don't know the
first fuckin thing about writing.

Everything now is Vampires
and Werewolves having orgies
with each other mostly. Yet gone
are the intriguing vampires from
days of old who were both mas-
culine, yet seductive and intelligent.

Now, in their stead ,vampires are
sparkly creatures who glitter
in the sun, suffer perpetual teen-
aged angst, and have hair so stiff
you couldn't drive a damn stake
through It. (let alone their narcissistic
hearts.)

Bram stoker would be rolling in
his coffin if he had to witness the
travesty Vampirism has become.

The world at large has become a
cesspool of imitators who rehash
everything that has been done and
redone until people no longer give
a shit.

Everything is a remake of a remake
that will likely be remade again later
on. Sure..the "writing authorities that
be" might add a transexual hero with
bi-polar disorder in there eventually
to make it more Interesting..but, for
the most part, society has not had an
original idea in half a century or more.

(keep that in mind the next time you're
watching the "new" Lone Ranger Movie,
or Lost in Space, Planet of the Apes,
The Adams Family, Leave it to Beaver,
21 Jump Street, the A-Team, Alvin and
The Chipmunks, Star Trek, Yogi Bear,
Garfield, The Smurfs, The endless fuckin
Batman franchises, The Brady Bunch, The
Beverly Hillbillies, Charlies Angels,
I-Spy, Dark Shadows, Doctor Who,
Dragnet.)

The list goes on and on, and while some
of these movies are admittedly GOOD,
and enjoyable to watch..at the end of the
day society relies too much on overdone
rehash and it is KILLING original thinking
for Everyone.
