i'm tired of admirable people

maybe not admirable people, but i hate it when different people can be in one room, and then when one other person enters the room, the mood shifts and people change. so i was bored today looked at what was on our tivo. i saw the apprentice and i figured i could watch that. they do the whole boardroom thing, with trump and his two buddies on each side. and the two "wannabe apprentices" were fighting as if trump knew the right answer. (i do realize he is the determing factor in who wins this whole game). but i bet these people cannot immagine trump as any other human. i dont think anyone realizes that. sure he is rich/well known.....etc. but he is a human. i am a human. you are a human. there is this basis that i wish everyone could see.

i guess it also comes into play with peoples overt fascination with celebrities. i could care less who is dating who. it doesnt affect me at all. i still go see movies with these people, but i dont want to know them any other way. who really cares that mariah carey got a parking ticket. who cares that screech is dating stephanie tanner (i probably would in that scenario).

just look at entertainment magazine.

it isnt entertaining. its a time waster. you read stories (un-entertaining) and the only thing you could come away with is being the first person at your job that would know some information like that.

im not saying i have never cared about any of this, but i hate the fact that we as humans will separate eachother into divisions and subdivisions, all the while wasting time caring about it.

remember jesus? maybe he read magazines about tax collectors and gypsys. but he didnt care. i mean he overly cared. there was no separation.

can we just be humans.

Hmm, Celebrities. *rubs chin*

I think its about making humanity no longer about human things.

Celebrity has become the weather of the next millenium. Its one of those Factors among men that are universal and bring people together in a vein of the universal experience.

Scenario 1)
I walk into a coffee shop and say "Beautiful weather today." And instantly we have shared an experience or at least a piece of
something bigger than ourselves.

Scenario 2)
I walk into a coffee shop and wait at the register. I say "can you believe that about J-lo and Brad!" and you shake your head and say "I know! I wrote her a letter once. It should have been me man, it should have been me." and I say, "tru dat man, tru dat."

And instantly something bigger and more powerful than both of us has brought us together in a much easier, less complex and much less messy (and probably untimately hurtful, as intimacy can be) way than me trying to get to know you at all. (its the poor mans power)

It comes down to having that common thread sort of weave weaving through the human existance. A common shared existance, or group mind while still mainting our individual brains ( most of us!) Its much like the internet. connection.

And don't forget about the need for social classes and ranking order! And that is often even projected ONTO celebrities from the unworthy, or underdog or the ugly girl. the ugly girl syndrome. Its much easier to live your life through the beautiful and rich and powerful than to take the chance of having a life of your own. The need to fullfill a role, often subservient. Feeling unworthy sucks!

and we also hate to see pretty talented people hurting.

We need ideals and symbols and ideology, its what we do. Its all about the icons baby. Creating moments.

Its all about the canopy of commonality. Speaking of which, did you see Brad and Angelina are adopting. They are so hot.
