At your Convenience.

People piss me off rarely, and mostly because I keep out of touch of the masses that I know for a fact, WILL piss me off. I try to keep things in a very civil "you do your thing, I'll do mine" mindset, but sometimes certain actions, usually on other people's parts - seep into my reality, and I end up getting annoyed.

A recent topic: positive racism. I'm so over the whole race card, it's not even funny anymore. But in this day and age, it seems people LOVE to bring up the race card in "positive" light... for example the last SuperBowl, apparently both coaches were black. OK... what's your point?

Guess what assholes? If you are to this day, bringing up the fact that you're so NOT a racist, because you do A or B for them... You're right up there with the (still very proud, ignorant and alive) regular racists.



We're in a society were sensitivity is getting out of control. Take the above Starbucks ad into scope for example. This ad tried to run back in 2002, but it was halted and removed because it was apparently very "insensitive" and "disgusting" - people swore never to return as customers after seeing this. The dragonfly, the "collapse" and the two objects side-by-side, with a larger height than girth. Well, apparently the consensus is: Starbucks is evil.

Well, they are, but that's neither here nor there.

Does that image put you into a rage? Is it insensitive? My favorite part of the whole thing is that these are the people who are able to find the utmost hidden meanings, metaphors and symbolisms in items of everyday pop-culture. Be it music, be it film, be it caffeinated beverage ads... but still find it in their hearts to believe, quite literaly in a book that is nothing more than a work of fiction. God forbid, there might be metaphor and symbolism in the prose. Jesus THE christ! read some other books.

Some people piss me right off. *sigh*
