It's just a bunch of people copying each other. Sometimes, it's cool when it has to do with food like Mexican food especially enchiladas, yum!, and when it has to do with music like rancheras or nortenyas or really for that matter, I guess just all music has some cultural context in some form or another, but what if you don't find somebody's culture aesthetically pleasing? Does that mean you're racist against those people? I'm going to give you a very sarcastic answer. I'm going to give you an exagerated version of people's bullshit moral code version. You know how easy it is to just follow a mass consensual mentality where everybody feeds off of each other. Rather than use their brains, and stop and wonder how they themselves feel, they just take these stances that are easy to say at a party. "911 is bad." Wow, you fucking genius, a true free thinker was never left unkilled. So, my tongue in cheek answer to the question, "Does finding someone's culture aesthetically nonpleasing mean you're racist against them?" The answer is, "yes", but only if they are black or jewish. If they are arabic, it is free game. And by free game, I mean FREEEEEEE GAME!!!!!!!!!!! Hating arabic people is a staple in our own morally reprehensible culture, but the second you say you don't like rap music or that the Koran is only suitable for wiping your ass with, you're a racist. Hating christianity and Islam is totally acceptable though. Hmmm, why did I capitalize one and not the other? You know, now that I think about it, it's time for me to cash in on this playing the victim bullshit. I'm an atheist, and our people were victimized in the Inquisition. You know, I fucking sneeze, and people tell me, "God Bless You." That really offends me, and for the first time in this blog posting, I'm not kidding. Don't tell me, "God Bless You." or "Merry Christmas" or other some such said other bullshit. I feel so fucking stingy, every time a bum asks me for money, I say no just because I know they're going to say,"God Bless You," to me, and it really pisses me off, and I hate being angry. Me giving you a quarter has nothing at all to do with God. If there really is a God, it is a total fucking asshole, and I don't want to have anything to do with it. But, seeing as how god doesn't exist, I'm not quite sure what I'm even typing anymore. And on another note, speaking of god being an asshole, why do we call child rape, "child molestation"? why are we trying to dumb it down? Anyway, as I was saying, MORAL STANCES. It's old, boring bullshit. Yes, that must be nice to be able to have socially acceptable ones that you can comment on at a cocktail party. As y'all are all sitting around sipping martinis or gins and tonics or whatever the fucking hell it is you people drink, wearing sweaters by the fireplace since it's January, but still it's LA and it's 80 fucking degrees outside, it must be nice to turn to the person next to you, and state the mind-blowingly banal, meaningless, and not in the least bit thought out comment, "You know, it must be rough for the Jewish, the dilemma they are in with the Palestinians." Anyway, on the other hand you have me. Sometimes, I wonder if my moral stances, . . . I just have them because they're the opposite. Which I know is ludicrous too, but I'm just trying to call myself on my own bullshit. Like abortion, I'm neither Pro-Life nor Pro-Choice. I'm pro-Death. If I had any say, I would have infants vasectomized. Abortions would be free and encouraged. But, I don't have that moral stance just for fun. I really truly believe it. I think abortion is the best thing to happen to us since the bicycle. Hmm, abortions probably came first, huh? But, I digress! Stop boring the fucking shit out of all of us and yourself! If you think George Bush, Jr. was an awful awful man, that's fantastic! It is true, but you a total fucking idiot for stating the obvious, and projecting all your hate on just him. Yeah, it's just George Bush, Jr. that's the problem. I was being sarcastic. I think one of the most ironic things I've ever seen are these bumper stickers that say, "Somewhere in Texas, A Village is Missing Its Idiot." I may be using the word, "ironic" wrong, but whatever. George Bush, Jr. is not from Texas. He is from Conneticut or some such said other bullshit. He talks in a fake accent. The fact that the U.S. president talked in a fake Texas accent for 8 years and everybody believed it because they wanted to believe it really says a lot about us as a people. And the fact that that person had that bumpersticker on their car really says a lot about that person specifically, i.e. they themself are an idiot. Probably not as much as me with this genius grammar. Anyway, it has been fun writing this blog. Hopefully, I offended you. I took a huge emotional shit doing it. I am in Oakland. It's nice and cool here. We're going to Lake Merritt today I believe. I love it. It makes Echo Park Lake look like a puddle of urine. Don't tell Echo Park I said that though. It would be so upset. It would spray my bench with cat urine.
