Superman and Derek Jeter

Collectibles trip me out, people take these things that in reality arent of much intrinsic value and raise them up with just the simple law of "supply and demand" . Just look at baseball cards which in reality are just small pieces of cardboard with a picture on it, or a comic books which are just paperback short stories which probably costs 25 cents to make. But people who covet these things add value to them because of how rare they are or how much we particularly want them. We end up selling a small book or a piece of cardboard for hundreds of dollars. Its things like these that make me giggle to myself on some of the twisted things that we put value to. Im not gunna point fingers and judge cuz im guilty like a lot of people,but I just think its funny how people can take something which in reality is worth shit and turn it to gold.

IQueer test

An IQ test. The Original test of ignorance used by lame ass establishments like schools the military or fuck even something you do for fun to see how "smart" you are. But I wonder how a generalized test can show how intelligent our diverse population is, people are all different in every aspect of the word. If your not good at the specific questions that are on this bias test its gunna say that your dumb, what if your not good at math but your very musically talented that doesn't make you dumb it just makes you different.
Take people like Bob Dylan, Jimmy Page, or The Beatles nobody knows or cares how well they do on an IQ test or what grades they got in high school. These people are viewed as intelligent because of there great talents in music. Does anyone care how good Van Gough did in English, no because he was a brilliant artist. People use different parts of there brain and just because the majority is good at certain things doesn’t mean that the minority are dumb. The select few who can do what most can’t like musicians or artists should be graded equally, if not have an advantage.


The way i see it Genius like beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Stuffilism :P

I think Materialism is like a praying mantis; it will seduce you then eat you alive, people today put material possessions up on a pedastool. We worry to god damn much about who has nicer things than we do or who has more cash in their pocket. Then you have other retards who use possessions to fill an endless emotional void. In society today, people tend to view possessions with more regard than other aspects of life, that in reality are more important. People seem to think that what they have is who they are, it's been said, “if who I am is what I have and what I have is lost then who am I?” People are conditioned to want the unnecessary because society trains them to. People buy goods and objects to compete between their peers in some unspoken competion. Everyone is trying to make sure there TV is bigger than “Bobs.” Forget making your family or yourself happy, we need a better stereo because that is what will fulfill our lack of kindness and love! Some people seem to have this fun house mirror philosophy that having more materials or money equals happiness. God forbid you look inside yourself to see what is making you unhappy in the first place. Looking for fulfillment from family and friends is harder than buying a new pair of Gucci shoes so fuck it. Maybe people experience unhappiness because they try to change their emotions with “things” that don’t have any, just a thought.
In America especially there is an over abundance of shopping sprees and keeping up with the Jones’. People are very obsessed with what’s on you not what’s in you. Your TV being 10 inches smaller than your neighbors has no effect on your life that you don’t let it have. Someone must have handed out a revised pamphlet on the American dream and mine got lost in the mail.
You can get into a vicious cycle of buying goods to fulfill an emotional void or trying to be “better” than others. It's like Sean Covey said "he who dies with the most toys, still dies."
