If It Sucks, Advertise it...

You've all seen it. Every time you go to the store, it stalks you. You're kids grab at them, salivating at the mouth as you keep them away from it. Yes, you all know what I'm talking about: crappy products. I ponder often when I see these things still being sold that are obviously bad for you are some how still successful.

For example, McDonalds is bad for you. Why? Read the calorie sheet, yo. But mass people come and go and eat their nasty food because of two things: 1) advertising and 2) it tastes good. Here's the point: It doesn't matter how horrible your product is, if you can advertise it a certain way, you can influence the general populous.

Now, the general populous is a fickle, confusing bunch. Half of them voted for President George W. Bush twice and the other half picked a president who made our nation deficit increase by over $1 trillion. What is interesting to see is how our newest president approached social media and got his prize. It's so funny how Senator John McCain didn't pursue Facebook, Twitter, and other formats of social media. President Barack Obama is now kicking-back with a huge grin after the slaughter of Senator McCain. Now, compare the two individuals: McCain is a war vet and has been apart of the political machine for so long that he could probably be able to get bipartisan work done as president. Barack Obama, relatively new to politics, has no experience aka the Dark Horse. On paper, McCain looks like the better candidate. But Obama had the strategy to socially pull himself into office. Either way, to the victor go the spoils.

What am I trying to say here? Don't lie to yourself. Never let this monster we call advertisement get to your head. Don't just be another mindless slave to the communication industry's bullshit advertisements. A person needs to dig beyond the surface and start doing their own research and truths, not letting someone tell you what you believe. Why is it this way? In the end, the decision is always yours to make.

The Daily Grind

A man wakes up at 6:00 am sharp. He takes his morning shower to rid himself of the grogginess. He sniffs the air; ah... fresh coffee brewing on command. After a nice warm refreshing rinser, the man goes and makes himself a bowl of cereal, complementing his coffee. After he's had his fill of General Mills monopolized cereal and his delicious cup of store-brand coffee, he brushes his teeth and he's on his way to a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. work shift. Afterwards, the man goes home to his comfort zone. He cracks a brew and sits down to watch some more TV, then shortly after goes to bed. He awakes the next morning to do the same thing again.

What do you see in this picture? You see a man doing pretty typical things that you are probably confused by what I'm getting at. So without further ado... This man leads a very simple and basic life. He does nothing that impacts the things around him. Like this man, most people live in some sort of bubble. Anything outside that bubble is a threat or nuisance. People like to have their schedules planned in a very anal fashion; to such extremes that people actually do have a rendezvous with a specific crapper at precise times of the day. To all you people: relax.

One morning, you're a college undergraduate in the Greek Life, then the next you have three kids and you're wife nags you're ass all the time, yada yada yada... People are in such a rush to do this, or do that. What happened to enjoying the moment we are in now? See the biggest things I want all the anal retentives out there to see is that by limiting your schedule that much, you miss out on the life that's happening around you.

If you can honestly say, "Hey Bizz, my life is great and my redundancies help that." Fine, do it your way. But do not come back to me ten years later saying, "Hey Bizz, you were right; I never took enough time for myself man..." I will not be so in-polite to laugh in front of your face and says, "I told you so.." I'm just going to kick you in the b*lls or m#ff-p@nch you.

People approach life like a robot does. So many uniform, bullshit things that we conform to everyday and lose a little bit of our sanity, dignity, and individuality. I agree, order is needed. But why is everything so complicated. When was the last time that you when outside not because you had free time, but just because it was sunny and beautiful. When you go grocery shopping, change up your coffee just to see what something new tastes like. Broaden your horizon, because in the end you're the one who has to look at it.

It's 420 Everywhere

By. The Bizz

Today is a day which all can rejoice.
Today is a day which all have a voice.
A toke here, a toke there
its 420 everywhere

so pack your bowls and roll your joints,
tonite is a night that will end all points
whether its sativa or indyca in there air
its 420 everywhere

so bring your bag; don't be shy,
gather 'round and we'll all get high
whether stupid laughs or glued to your chair
its 420 everywhere

so just be free, just be glad
cuz now that you smoked, you can't get mad
so have a pipe, bong, volcano; shit i don't really care,
Have a great day cuz it's 420 everywhere

First Church of the American Politics

How our political system has become its own religion

By: The Bizz

You turn on the television. Flipping through channels, what do you see? Most of us would agree that what is on TV these days is crap. So why is it still around? Politics. That's it. What you were assuming that there was more to it than that? Most everyone is so enthralled with what our leaders are doing. They fall into the traps that ALL our politicians want: follow without thought. Where in the world has cognitive thought gone? What happened to people asking the simple basic questions? The problem doesn't lie with the individual politicians. The common person looks at these men an women who are elected as gods. When shit hits the fan for people, they run to their government with their hands out. When did it become the government's responsibility to take care of yourself? People say we're going to become a social nation. They want to blame the government for that to happen, but what they fail to see it that is what the general population is asking for. Why give up a free handout?

In the end, people get what they ask for. Or should I rephrase: the majority power gets what they ask for. Socialism? I'm not surprised. We are a fickle people; we don't enjoy the basic freedoms that we have now. Most people won't realize what they have until its gone. That is a standard of which our history has shown an repeated time and time again. Look at the Roman Empire, who's Caesars (emperors) were looked up to like gods. Supposedly, our governments and societies are in many ways a parallel. But even the greatest empire to ever have ruled the world fell. More and more they had to take care of its people, causing a government collapse.

What am I trying to say? Even if people don't want to label our politicians as gods, people treat them as so. No one realizes that they are men and women just like us. They have faults and success, just like the rest of us. The pressure these people deal with, yes, is immense. Taking care of a lot of people is a stressful job. So why are we pimping these people for a free handout when they can hardly manage to keep the boat afloat.
