Getting Back into the Swings of Things: People and their dumb trends

People are funny. Watching, observing, or just sitting on a mall bench reveals much about the human nature. The need to be seen, heard, or admired and the ways these "needs" are unveiled and contrived are just too funny...but in pitiful way to watch and experience.

The other day while grocery shopping for some seafood dip (which was amazing) a lady's cellphone goes off to the catchy Alicia Keys/Jay-Z song "Empire State" and with everyone staring at her she lets the song continue for like a minute although recognizing who the person was initially.

The thought hit me suddenly of how base, how simple, and indeed how far the depth of her simpleton ways really were. As her head bounced and swayed to the music with her oversize hips jiggling under the tightly stretch jogging pants begging for salvation, she had the gall to look around daring anyone to meet her eye. Which I gladly sufficed her in and she GAVE ME the idiotic look of "What are you looking at loser?!!

"Hah, you fool!!!" I wanted to yell.....followed by, "You are so simple and servile that you are a slave to fashion, music, arts, or the insecurity that drives you to hide and cover yourself behind those facades." I would just say, "step out and become your real self even if you discover you are a dork. Quit your hip, cool, and ultimately poser ways because you are nothing but citizens to a town named Loserville."

To have the innate desire to be rocognized is one thing and if you have an issue: find yourself at an altar, seek therapy, or meditate. But good grief, spare society and the world of your bullish and outlandish ways.

Some call me ignorant, unaware, or perhaps unappreciative of culture and arts but I like to think that I am real and slightly enlightened....lol...You get what you see with me. Unlike the masses of people hiding behind the curtain that has many covers but yet one name which is insecurity. You are not hip, cool, cutting edge, or fashionable. You are just seeking acceptance. Find it in Christ and everything else falls into place.

Disclaimer: To the people that are real and cool also...more power to ya....I have nothing against music, fashion, arts etc. I enjoy all those things but I laugh heartily at the fools that are slaves to them. Call your facade your passion or maybe even your hobby...I say get real hobby and quit trying to impress people and get to really living. Peace out!

    Insecurity is a big issue.
