fact: i will NOT be talking about cat's cradle.

i find all this "junk" rather interesting. i call it junk because i don't know what else to call that sums it all up in one term. oh and by "all" you know what i mean correct??? if not, let me know and i guess i'll provide an explanation....
okay. back to business. i do indeed agree with Kirby. post modernism is dying out. okay he states it's dead, but i think there is still a smidge of it clinging on to its final moments of life.
kirby states that "Postmodern philosophy emphasises the elusiveness of meaning and knowledge." well now-a-days people could care less about the meaning and such UNLESS it somehow effects them. kirby says that Pseudo-modernism is primarily responding to the will of the viewers. we seek to be entertained but yet are so easily bored. why? because we are in search of easy thrills. take american idol or any talent show for that matter. most people don't really care about the real talent on the show, instead they care more about all the william hung's out there that are going to make a complete fool out of themselves. why? because it's "entertaining"
i mean it's cool and everything that we as an audience can interact and influence the outcome of thing - gives people a sense of power i guess. but the sad thing is that all the technology is actually making us rather stupid. mmmm. let me prove my case. how many teenagers now-a-days actually understand one of shakespeare's plays WITHOUT the help of an outside (ie sparknotes). i'm just going to guess and say like one out of ten. but why don't we bother to understand such language? because we're lazy and are so used to quick messages (thank you texting and instant messaging for developing another own language). here's a Shakespearean insult: you are now sailed into the north of my ladies opinion, where you will hang like an icicle on a Dutchman's beard (from Twelfth Night - for those people who don't know the movie She's the Man with Amanda Bynes is the modern version) (oh this is clovis west's straight (non-musical)  show this year incase you're interested) i guess we just don't realize how much more fun it is to take those extras words to insult someone rather than use one or two obscene words.
aside from stripping away our brain power, technology is also capability to interact with other human beings. why? almost everything is automatic these days. you can do all your shopping (grocery to clothes to your "soul mate"). rather depressing isn't it?? i think so. even if you are one of thsoe legit people that actually go to the store and have your items rung up by a cashier, i bet you try to avoid conversation hoping that it will result in you going on with life faster. yeah. i know. i'm a cashier myself. most people avoid talking at all cost. or they are on their stinking cell phones texting away. i bet people text a person more than they actually talk to in person with that person.it shouldn't be a surprise to us that majority of marriages result in divorces.
i think have unkowningly pressed our own self destruct button.



i promise to finish this later. i think my bed is calling my name and sleeping sounds nice right now.............plus i'm safe if i've exceded the word count but am not done "rambling??"
