Rants - Be Enlightened

A place where I come to let out my rage about Earth or just rant about a topic or issue. I also have a general log at http://glandrid.blogspot.com/.

Beer!

Beer. What's the appeal? Why do people blow their money on it?

At my friends house I drank three beers in a row and they had next to no effect what so ever aside from the nasty after taste. But just three shots of whisky and I can feel the effects. So what's the draw to beer? You have to drink five straight before you feel anything! Other then ruining your liver even faster and wasting a lot more money what is it worth? Do people really want a beer bellie?

I'm not encouraging others to start drinking whiskey, nor am I saying people should drink at all. I myself don't drink very often at all, maybe 5 times a year? I'm just wondering what the mentality behind drinking beer is? If people want to get drunk, why buy crap like beer? Seems pointless to me.

Hey man, look at me rocking out, I'm on the radio! Hey man, look at me rocking out, I'm on the video!

Back in my day TV was something. Every night I'd be on my favorite spot in the couch absorbing whatever was on the screen. And everything on the screen was good! Original Simpsons, Futurama, the PJ's, Firefly, Dark Angel, John Doe... those were the days. I'm sure there were plenty of other good shows, those are just the only ones I can remember at the moment. But then TV began declining... less and less funny Simpsons, Futurama always cancelled due to long running sports shit and the rest cancelled too... those were dark days my friends.. dark days indeed... More and more stupid reality shows like that Nany-911, Temptation Island and so on...

But alas, it is happening to radio too! I am not sure if it's just the stations I listen to or all of them but I have noticed that they play the same songs... over.... and over..... and over! I hear that song about bannanas at least 6 times a day not to mention all the other crap too. The same songs always play at midnight too! It's almost as if they just pick a playlist for the month then leave it looping until they feel like changing it. It's so fucking sickening!

It's happening to the gaming market too but I won't bother with that.
