Look, I don’t care about celebrities or gossip. I really don’t. So, please stop telling me about what you heard/saw/read.

You didn’t care about any of this shit until the talking box told you to.
That’s the scary part. You had zero opinion until it was dictated to you by the box.

We’re like trained monkeys or mental patients being told “Look at this. This is important. Okay, now look at this.”

And we all “oooooh” and “aaaaahhh” appropriately at the little distractions. And if we miss them on TV, the radio will play it. If we miss it on the radio, the front page will display it. And if we miss the front page, the internet will talk about it. And if somehow, in the middle of all this media bombardment, we still don’t know about it then someone will walk up and tell it to you at work.

It’s like our great patriotic duty is to know and discuss idiotic distractions constantly.

Please, stop. This is why I want to be a hermit. I’ve actually said “I don’t care” so many times that I’ve began to say nothing.
