Beware : This is an angry blog.None of the words below will be sugarcoated.If you are fan of unreal sugarcoated useless fluff, Please look away !
Having said that , I want to talk about the state of the media today.
When you go have a look at the local neighbourhood newstand or magazine rack at a book shop or supermarket, about 90% of the magazines neatly stacked up on there are trash.
What do i mean by trash?
Glorified gossip magazines.
And, to think that a lot of people are constantly purchasing these gossip magazines judging by numbers of the various magazines that the supermarket stocks , tells a lot about the psyche of the average reader.
The average magazine reader is looking for trash news.
What does that make the average magazine reader?
The would make the readers trash too.
YOU ARE WHAT YOU ASSIMILATE, and if you assimilate useless news about
'Who kissed whom' and
'who wore what' and
'who got newly pregnant' and
'whose house is bigger' ,
you really gain nothing.Nothing at all.
You are pushing your brain to a vegetative state without much stimulation in terms of innovativeness.
I mean, if A slept with B , How does that affect you at all?
In no particular way , unless A or B is actually sleeping with you too.
So, why exactly do you read such trash?Because you have nothing else to do ? Or , because you chose to do nothing else that is productive except try and learn who kissed whom.Gosh !
After much thinking, i finally came to the conclusion that it is all a vicious cycle.Teenagers are forcefed this trash news right from the time they can read and understand and they for the longest time concentrate on things that the trash magazine seems to project as important and end up doing nothing productive in life except try and emulate other high school dropouts who just happen to be in showbiz. Finally, this leads them to have no proper education and thus these teens end up very badly equipped to plan a decent life with productivity.This then makes them make stupid decision with regards to jobs and relationships. And finally they end up with such a shitty life that they seek solace by trying an escape route of getting lost in fantasy land by yet again reading those very trash magazines which were the cause of their ruin the first place.
I mean.. The only decent magazines that i see there on the magazine rack are READER'S DIGEST and TIME( Time is on it's way to trashiness too ) .
So, yeah..today's angry blog is about
HOW THERE IS A DEARTH OF FREE AVAILABILITY OF QUALITY MAGAZINES TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT EVEN IF A CHILD WISHES TO EXPAND IT'S MENTAL HORIZONS, IT HAS TO LOOK HARD AND LONG TO FIND A DECENT MAGAZINE TO READ.Pisses me off bigtime.
Meanwhile, i don't care what some overpaid showbiz bimbo wears. I shall wear what i like and what suits me and what is comfortable. I want to be able to go the supermarket and pick from a variety of intelligentely written magazines that actually equip me to examine my life and improve it rather than those magazine that provide me an escape.
90% of Americans don't know how to manage their money(judging by their mortagages and credit card debts-shame on yourself) and 99% Americans are in focked up relationships ..If they dont' take the time to examine and make better their own lives, I have no idea , how much that is going to contribute to the dwindling of the human resource factor of the nation.
So, All the trash monsters, please stop reading those trash magazines, try and look at things that immediately concern you, LIKE , your education, your finances, your relationships, your garden, your self respect and dignity.
