I'm supposed to say that this is my first time

Posted by Revolving magnum condom filler


Well, this is my first time writing a blog. I don't consider my self a writer- actually I really suck at it - but I do know I can speak, persuade and dissolution any crowd on cue ( my nickname is the black Eddie Bernays) . I find myself using words that I can not spell, or define in context that match perfectly into its narrative ( I don't know if I used narrative in its right context ; ) ). But alas I have recently decided that I want to become a copy writer. This means that I need to learn how to write. Correct? Well- here is my first valiant effort to gain the necessary skills to get people to believe the nonsense that comes out my mouth on paper, or the web.

First topic of discussion; Zeitgeist the movie. (For those of you who have never seen this documentary, you should. In brief : Zeitgeist is a documentary about 9-11 conspiracy, the fallacy of there actually being a Jesus Christ, and an assortment of other somewhat verifiable theories)
I must admit I watched this film several times during my junior year in college. I enjoyed the countless hours spent arguing with friends about how the world is coming to an end, believing the economy was somehow in direct cahoots with the Illuminati, as well other postulations that allowed me to forget about my Linear programing exam the next morning.
After the stress of that semester subsided, and no reason to run away from reality. I placed this disguised ballyhoo into my swap file for later conversations with people who have devoted them selves to a pure right winged agenda. That was until today. When a heavy set guy with the strongest resemblance of a gay/overweight John Kerry decided to speak to a couple of Korean law students sitting next to me at Starbucks. In less than five minutes the shit coming out of his mouth-in reference to the zeitgeist movie-reminded me why monkeys in the zoo like to throw their own feces:

  • Boredom
  • Being caged up with no real agenda in life
  • The fact that they are animals
  • Wanting everyone to share their filth
Why did I draw this comparison? Because this guy just wanted attention, someone to listen to him. The constant elevation of his voice over the barely English speaking law students any time they raised an objection almost made me laugh in front of his face. Not because John "Get in my belly" Kerry was obviously gay, trying to be domineering in a pseudo-masculine way. But because I could not figure out how these two Korean students (a guy and a girl) got into law school in the first place? THEY DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH!

All truth be told, Fat Bastards comments about the economy, and certain law policy, had points to it.But the look on the two students face, was of priceless indifference, which ended in the big guy feeling frustrated, and confused wondering why they where not agreeing with him. I wonder if monkeys from Asia, understand monkeys from the zoo?

Either way monkeys are stupid.

Monkey see, monkey do. Monkeys from any country will understand each other, but will not understand everything. People will only pay attention to what they want to hear and only talk about themselves because we are all self-centered and want to be in the spotlight. Oh and like you said, they want to share their filth with others. Sometimes when people talk about themselves to me, I almost do feel like they are throwing shyt from their butt straight to my face.

By the way, I hope fat John Kerry ordered a skinny latte!

Nice entry for your first blog, playa.
