this is not the future

So I like terrible things. Especially on the rare occasions I watch tv, it's Jersey Shore or American Gladiators.

I want to describe it as applied nihilism: staring head on into the headlights. This culture is a truck barreling down on me, so I get a giddy thrill seeing how bad it truly is.

Have you seen Snooki from the Jersey Shore? Seen what kind of person she is, or is at least portrayed to be? And how about the guy who has a nickname for himself and his abs (weirdly, it's the same one: 'the situation'). These are ideals I'm up against, a sort of half cocked vomit of the celebrity industry. Thousands of dollars spent on a dress or a hat to be worn once.

PEOPLE LIKE THIS EXIST, AND THEY ARE ALL AROUND YOU.
