Right Urns
I have often compared life to a car with a full tank of gas and the choices that we make to the roads we take. Most people spend their lives driving aimlessly until they finally run out of gas before reaching their desired destination.... which ironically, is a destination that they had no idea how to get to... no map to follow and in most cases never even figured out what the destination was. I suppose the 'enlightened' driver looks in the rear-view mirror when his tank comes close to empty and says; "those were interesting streets I chose... beautiful things I saw.... amazing places I went... friendly passengers I picked up and terrible accidents I avoided". Regardless of what they really were... since time can twist our perception... and mirrors show everything backward. I think that the cruel part is that most of us will look in that mirror and come to the realization that it was a dark and lonely journey, filled with wrong turns, accidents, bad scenery and shitty passengers... all of which were of our own choice. And now we're out of gas. Losers. ↑

My call? Jacked son!
So I guess that the parents of the 12 year-old boy at the centre of Michael Jackson’s LATEST pedophilia scandal aren’t going to be up for any Parent of The Year awards. You’ve got to wonder about people who send their child for ‘innocent’ sleepovers into the home of creepy, middle-aged man who lives in an amusement park. Jackson is the ultimate stranger with candy in his trench coat… and what’s scarier is what else he’s got in his proverbial sack of goodies…. namely money and lawyers. Now clearly, Jacko is a sick fuck… but the question that hasn’t been asked is “What is being done about this kid’s parents?”. Shouldn’t they be charged for neglect of parental duties and for failing to provide a safe environment for their child? Or at the very least for exercising severely bad judgment… Now let’s say for the sake of argument that The King of Pop may not actually be a child molester, if MJ doesn’t have “bad babysitter” written all over his pasty face then I don’t know who does. In a related story… ↑

Karmalat
So you may have heard about this international company based in Italy who are missing something like 4 billion euros. Once considered a ‘blue-chip’, their stock has now dropped to almost nothing… leaving their stock-holders to pick up the tab. Their executives are facing big charges that could land them in jail for a long, long time… Their employees are awaiting the fate the company and their own livelihoods. Sad. When they were fucking over all those people, didn’t those execs ever stop and consider Karma? Arrivederci. ↑ |
