REMEMBER WHEN WRITERS ACTUALLY GAVE A SHIT

I was recently watching my Miami Vice DVD set and wondering what the hell happened to good television. When I was growing up writers actually tried hard to put out a good product. Yes, in the 80's and 90's there were a lot of shows that depended heavily on stale jokes and laugh tracks, but at least they tried. Today I switch channels thinking that TV is simply the prostitute you go to for the sweet release of death.

Right now there are a handful of shows that I give a crap about and I have to pay to watch them. When you think about how many channels there are on television, and what little quality is out there, it's impossible to believe the programming is so stale and crack whore like. I don't care for housewives, whores, celebrity self destruction, or anything on the air today.

Perhaps I am becoming old but at 34 I doubt that's the case. I think that I just can't stand the prostitution of the word reality and the constant lies made to look like regular life. I don't give a shit about pseudo celebrities that lack talent, I could care less about roundtables of nonsense, and I don't give a damn about Jessica Simpson. Someone please dust of the real writers and bring back quality programming please.

THE SHIT THAT'S TOO MUCH: A TANGENT OF SORTS

I am not a fan of the Kardashians, Bruce Jenner, Kanye or just about anyone having to do with reality television and ridiculous self appraisals. My reason for writing this blog is because I can't understand why it's such a big fucking deal that Kris Jenner put on a wig while vacationing somewhere. What bothers me is that while the world is in the brink of chaos with bombings, nuclear war, and gun control debates, the Jenner wig has become a major trending headline. My question is simply" WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLE? Is society so fucking blind that we give importance to a wig worn by a woman that sets the bar for shit? I mean seriously we as a whole need to examine what we can do to make the world somewhat manageable.

I don't think that paying attention to a pathetic old whore like Kris Jenner is really the answer. I used to respect Bruce Jenner because he was an athletic hero, now Bruce really does look like an old tenth grade teacher.

 
Bruce would be a great contestant on a daytime TV game show like Let's Make A Deal with his dignity being the grand prize behind the curtain. I know this is a tangent but you can't blame me when these people and their vacations, wigs, sex tapes, bastard children, and so on take precedence over the death of someone like Michael Gray ( China Syndrome). Instead of giving these fucking people importance and attention for being stars of a fake reality series we should consider what's important in life.

I am certain that a couple of idiots are going to say I am "hatin" because of what I am writing but the truth is that I don't really give a fuck. I am one in a handful of people that are tired of the real news being overshadowed by bullshit. I am tired of good television being put on hold while talentless fucks like Ryan Seacrest produce garbage that seems to get airplay it doesn't deserve. Let's all wake up collectively and go back to at least making an effort at creating a better world instead of bringing the world down with insipid programming.

THE NATALIE WOOD CASE

There is always one news story that seems to stay with the public. It does not matter if it's death or for that matter some fluff piece about a rogue granny with a heart of gold. One such case is the story of Natalie Wood's death by "accidental" drowning in 1981. Natalie Wood was one of America's all time beloved stars whose death sent shock waves not only through show business but really through the world. Today the case of her death has reached what I would consider almost mythical proportions.

As of today, three full decades later, her death remains shrouded in mystery given the events that took place prior to the discovery of her dead body. There was always a suspicion that she was allowed to die by her husband, actor Robert Wagner, after a heated argument involving beloved cowbell superstar Christopher Walken. Recently the case was re- opened as new allegations of fowl play as well as the nature of the argument surfaced giving this story a new life.

Now the cause of death has been ruled as "undetermined" given the condition of her body when it was found. Multiple individuals have attempted to point a finger at Robert Wagner as the reason behind her death. The truth is that the Natalie Wood case will never be solved no matter what evidence comes out. Christopher Walken will never talk and Wagner will always maintain his innocence in the matter.

After 31 years this case is one that will remain a mystery because no actual account can remain accurate  and there is no evidence of struggles, fights, or foul play. When the only thing you hear is that there was alcohol involved and no one seems to really have a clear account you can only say "what could have happened."

I don't think that re-opening the case will get this case closer to being solved and changing the cause of death does nothing but arouse the interest of a new generation of novices that are tired of gossip about the Kardashians and the talentless crop of celebrities getting attention for everything other than a respectable body of work.

I JUST WANT TO CARRY YOUR BOOKS HOME

I want to take this particular opportunity to write about how romance seems to be a dying art. As I walked through a mall the other day I saw this one teenager with his girlfriend. The kid clearly thought he was some sort of rap star which was funny considering he made me think of Vanilla Ice in the Ninja Turtles movie. That having been said let me get to the point of this rant.

The kid was a vulgar point with no manners and no class whatsoever. What annoyed me was that the girl was equally ignorant and encouraged his boorish attitude. I wonder how exactly their interaction went. I can imagine it was something like:

BOY: Yo baby let's chill at the mall.

Girl: Like IDK  sure whatever!

BOY: Yo boo come on girl

Girl: My boyfriend like totally gets me you know.

The point is the kid was a jackass and he made me so angry I wanted to kick his ass. When I was younger and dating I had to work for a hello and really try everything from carrying a girls books to discreet hand holding at the regular places like the movies. While these were fifth grade tactics the fact that you no longer see them reminds you of societal decline in general. You have little kids talking about swag and how they want to be like Kim Kardashian instead of being individuals.

If all that kids are exposed to is overly rehearsed pop culture their ideas of relationships are going to be pathetic at best. This is why men no longer open the door for ladies. Wait there are no men just punks and morons. This is why there are no boys carrying girls books because they are too busy trying to be "players."

I think the problem lies with the idea that people need to be 100% free to explore from an early age. Yes I understand we all need to be individuals but if all you do is watch television and mimic garbage then you will pretty much end up like garbage.

 So how about it? Can I carry your books home?
