Indecision

This is a topic that i discuss quite frequently. In a society where people are continuously barraged with useless information and stimulation(AKA: gazillions of T.V programs, fast food chains, consumer products), it makes sense that the human brain, which unable to process a multitude of information at once, is going hesitate and have trouble making a decision. Living in a fast paced, consumer world where people are exposed to tons of irrelevant matters, it can impair people’s ability to prioritize choices in life and make decisions in our daily affairs. You can thank a ultra capitalist and media driven world, that has made our lives more convoluted, chaotic, and confusing. I can’t stand being blasted with advertisements every time I look at a bus, a candy car, my cell phone, telling me what to think and buy. A slightly simpler life lets your brain focus on thins that actually matter.

John Mayer

He suffers from a very extreme case of what I like to call the "Michael Bolton Effect," which happens when commercial success far outweighs the level of talent. Mayer’s never come off as a very deep person in any of the interviews I've seen, or read, and I have always felt that his songwriting and guitar playing are unoriginal and derivative, and his singing seems fake and insincere. He's more of a craftsman than an artist. Great at writing catchy melodies, hooky lyrics and clever guitar riffs and he certainly has a “radio” voice – but he always seems to be copping somebody else’s music – and at times outright stealing (i.e. Lindsey Buckingham’s guitar riff on Dreams in his latest drivel - Half of My Heart). I may be wrong, but I doubt that his music will hold up beyond a generation (or two) of teenage girls. Though, he does seem to be a much bigger, stronger, and now heavily tattooed version of Richard Marx. And on those occasions when I catch myself humming one of his songs, I hope nobody I know hears me.

Breast Implants

Breast implants. Agh, probably the most abused form of plastic surgery ever. It's a great thing if it's used for good instead of evil. There's a right way and a wrong way. One, you should only go up to a certain size, based on your frame. Both of these women went too big. Second, you need to have a certain amount of body fat to sort of mask the implant. If you're as rangy as blondie here, there's just not enough fatty tissue to mask the outline of the implant. And third, I can't say it enough....DON'T PUSH UP YOUR IMPLANTS! Smooshed-up real boobies look awesome. Smooshed-up fakies? Ick. They look even harder and grosser and faker than they already did due to you violating rule 1 and 2. What's worse, the camera flash makes that nice hard shadow which just amplifies it by 10,000. So, even if it didn't look so bad in the mirror, it's gonna look horrifying in the photo.

Introspection

I'm all for self-examination, but this sounds like bologna to me. The real distinction to be made here is whether you are dealing with a contemplative or active person, a person, in other words, of reason or of will, whether he or she is basically a scientist, who needs to see the entire solution before acting, or someone who not merely muddles through, but elevates questions of esteem and acceptance, jealousy and envy, above those of compatibility and educability. A contemplative will be called a loner, stoic or narcissist (secondary narcissism) for wanting to participate with others on the basis of shared ideas. Actives are concerned with status or relationships, the latter, usually identified with the female sex, being based on conditions and contracts, and instead of giving or sharing, they express love through buying.
