TV! Sing Me to Sleep

So. Yeah. Too lazy and such to post recently much? Yeah. But my mind has not been becoming mush. This rant should be a longish one, I think, but we'll see how it ends up.

So, I've been searching for a summer job for the past oh, 2 weeks now or so. I've probably put in 6 or 7 applications to different stores. Places you know, I honestly wouldn't mind working at. Borders would be right up my alley. Even last years summer job at BJs wasn't too bad. Even applied at A&P and some other silly chain grocery stores. I don't know what it is about me. Maybe I guess summer help just isn't desirable. I mean, I sorta understand. Why bother training and getting to know someone if you know he's going to leave after like, a few months. But the whole process has been just, wearing on me. Having my parents breathe down my neck over it doesn't help. It's given me a pretty worthless feeling.

I was sitting in Wendy's the other day, after being rejected from BJs, just sitting there having a cheeseburger and one of those frosty float things (which are sort of stellar, I may add), when I was looking over this little contest advert they had on the tables. It had one of the most true statments I've seen in a long time. It read "Many will enter, few will win." Everyone in life tries to attain some sort of happiness, normally through attaining some ammount of relative wealth. Everyone knows the wealthy run the world, they're the ones who appear in the news and have thier own TV shows and get interviewed on stupid 24 hour news channels. They get thier pictures taken and plastered all over those gossip rags. Most everyone wants it. But I'm beginning to think it's all a farse, ya know? Like, that it's just an illusion. That, like that promotion Wendy's is running, no one ever wins. I don't really think that's too good. I think it's quite shitty, actually. I wish it kinda got changed.

The G8 [for the non-aware, the G8 is the anual conference where the 8 leader's of the world's most "powerful" contries meet to discuss stuff and restart cold wars or something] is meeting this weekend in Germany. They're going to discuss such gripping things such as global warming, the new American missle defence system being built in Europe, and how to fuck over Africa and the rest of the 3rd world some more while pretending to be taking action. All this without input from, you know, the other hundred something countries in the world, or the UN or anything. Just rich big boy business. As you may be able to tell through my tone in this paragraph, I don't really support it. I admire the people in Europe who go to these rallies and protests, and wish them the best. Hopefully things don't get too messy outside the event.

We already know things inside the event are a total mess.
