The world is falling apart...OOOH!! LOOK AT THE SPARKLY THINGY!!!

all righty! you get two today! aren't YOU excited! it's been quiet around here in StarDust-Land, too quiet...thusly, i ExXxPLoDe upon the scene with not one...but TWO rants in ONE DAY!!

so i like to get my news updates online since i absolutely LOATH television. in the end it's the same ol' sensationalist crap no matter where you look. go figure eh? things i usually see go something like this...

HEADLINES *with flashing ad banners sending me into nearly epileptic fits*

5,000 killed in Iraq by truck bomb!
Man rapes daughters then eats them!
Major quake strikes [insert country here]
Paris Hilton gives her dog Tinkles to her mom!
Brad and Jennifer "we're still good friends"
Gas Prices at all time high!
CEO accused of embezzling 5bil dollars!
Health Report: Fatty foods make you fat...

etc.

etc.

my point is that there is a trend to all of this. it is "here's a bunch of fucked up shit that happened today! Oooh! look how fucked up the world is! now look HERE!! PARIS HILTON!! BRAD PIT!! look at the sparkly thing! look at the sparkly thing!"

the news seems to LOVE doing this. it smacks you with all this HORRIBLE news then trys to smooth it over and/or distract you with trivial, trite, banal crap that for whatever reason you actually CARE about. like, it TOTALLY matters to me what Paris "Dirty Whore" Hilton does! in fact, i'm going to change MY WHOLE LIFE because of what brad and jennifer are doing today!

but onward we go. the two news headlines that caught my eye (as well as my rage) today are as follows...

Lions and Elephants on the Plains?

go ahead and read it. typical. typical human stupidity at its finest. i'd like to find the "brilliant" mastermind of this idea and choke him with a plastic bag. REALLY! first of all, hasn't history BLATANTLY shown us that humans don't know jack SHIT about the environment and what to do with it? i mean, the article mentions it; but just the fact that it actually got PRINT is ludicrous. lions and elephants on the great plains of north america? that is utterly GENIUS! we COMPLETELY eradicated wolves from the continent let's bring not one, but TWO new already endangered species over!! we could hunt them and stuff! and then when we decide to encroach on the nature preserves we've set up for them and they start eating stuff we don't want them to, then we can wipe them out ENTIRELY!! god! that's the best idea since introducing sheep to australia or mongoose to the virgin islands! woohoo!

that's the thing about humans. we really are dimwits when it comes to the grand scheme of things. i'm sure that if we could, we'd totally go back in time and stop the dinosaurs from going extinct by bringing them back to the future. isn't extinction sort of part of the natural process? when a species dies out isn't it usually because another species has got it beat? i think what we GREATLY overlook as humans is the fact that we, despite having opposable thumbs and *ahem* larger more complex brains, are still very much a PART OF this crazy lil thing we like to call the "ecosystem". we aren't its "caretakers" or "guardians". we are at the whims of good ol' mamma' nature and nothing we can do will ever change that. we aren't above the rest of the beasts kids, we're just as stinky and primal as the rest of them. we're just more arrogant and retarded. unlike animals who sort of accept their place in the grand scheme of things, we like to muck about and ask silly little questions and make up imaginary friends that make us feel safe in this yawning abyss of a universe. i really hope they don't bring the lions and elephants over here...but i wouldn't be surprised if we start hearing about joggers being mauled in colorado by hungry african lions...

in the end that article didn't get me as much as this one...

Hummer 3: Smaller but still a Hummer.

the rage that this article, and moreover, the pretentious good-for-nothing shit-head-festering-ass-wart of a writer, inspire in me is immeasurable.

i would like nothing more than to take everyone who drives Hummers in world, line them up, and run them over with said vehicle over and over and over again until there is nothing but a wet red paste stretching across america.

first off, might i point out that H2's have a SUBURBAN engine in them. yes, that's a big fucking engine, but it is nothing, NOTHING in comparison to the engine of a REAL HumVee used by the armed forces. those are for REAL men and women, you know, the ones that are fighting that shitty war in Iraq for your pretentious cock-sucking asses that drive around H2's and H3's and suck up all the oil and spew vast amounts of shitty fumes into the air? it's all your fucking fault their down there anyway. fucking shit-stains. godDAMMIT!

now i get to look forward to all sorts of ass-hats driving around H3's and wasting MY precious room and MY precious air. i wish they'd just do everyone a favor and drive them off a cliff or something. i see them all over LA and i can't tell you how much it just irks the living shit out of me. "Hummer lifestyle" my dark irish-mexican ass! more like "Totally Self-Important-Wind-Bag-Cock-Sucker" lifestyle. god i'm infuriated. i'm sick to death of this sort of mentality. rich fucking empty shells of people. they're not REAL people in the sense of actually having substance. they're like, husks. holes in the spiritual space. just sucking and sucking and sucking like some sort of material vaccuum. anything new and shiny and EXPENSIVE they just suck up. somehow it validates their existence. somehow it makes them feel like they're cooler than everyone else, and it gives them the opportunity to parade it around in front of everyone. i really don't understand how when the LA riots happened, why all them poor folk didn't just march up to beverly hills and pillage and riot there instead of their own run-down poor-ass neighborhoods. hell, i would've been leading the charge! betcha' there would've been a state of emergency called by el presidente and all of 'em would've been rounded up and sent off to "happy camps". can't let the rich people get hurt! fuckers. i hope the new H3 gets you to hell faster than everyone else so you can burn for all eternity while the devil shoves that very same vehicle up your ass at the start of every new day for the rest of your afterlife.

people are doomed. the world is doomed. not because of evil or anything, but because we're all too fucking stupid to live. evolution will rear it's head and suddenly a new species will appear that is smarter...and it will eat us.

the end.
