Sorry for the language in this one.
(If you don't like it, you don't have to read it.)

I've been thinking recently (as I am wont to do,) and I keep coming back to the same conclusion. Maybe conclusion isn't quite the right word, but this thought keeps popping up in my mind. I could be sitting in class or reading somebody's blog and it just hits me - This is Bullshit. people make generalizations about everything and everybody, and it's all just bullshit trying to make people sound intelligent. Michael Moore is bullshit. He lies to people to try and change their minds. Script analysis is bullshit because the playwright is just trying to write the best play they can. No you can't understand the play better than the playwright can, you can just make up some bullshit. Blogging is mostly bullshit from people with too much time on their hands and a desire to share their bullshit. (I include myself in this description.) Art is definitely bullshit in one of it's purest forms. It's a painting, or a sculpture, or a film, or a piece of music, either you like or you don't, anybody who tells you otherwise is selling you some pretentious bullshit. here's some more bullshit: everybody is alone and can only interact through sharing bullshit. that may be true often but any time you hear words like always, never, everybody, nobody, everything, or nothing your bullshit alarm should start ringing. Even something like "there's an exception to every rule" is bullshit, it practically tells you so. I'm not trying to be cynical here, I don't really mind the bullshit too much. What else are we going to do? But as the saying goes, opinions are like assholes, everybody has one and they're probably full of shit.

Have a nice day.  ¶ 6/23/2007 06:41:00 PM
