Swine Flu? Bring that shit. I need to build up some antibodies.

I'm ready. I've got my immune system working in tip top function. I want to figure out how to get this goddamn Swine Flu and make all of our lives hell. We're going to need to purchase a bunch of stuff in order to stay flu free. I'm talking duct tape (and a lot of it), plastic wrap, milk, eggs, bread, DVDs, particle masks, rations, bottled water and most importantly... cupcake mix. If I'm gonna get some goddamn disease somehow associated with Wilbur from Green Acres, I'm gonna have me some cupcakes while I meet my demise. I'm also taking quite a few people out. I'm headed home tonight with some shovels and some bags of concrete mix. If we don't get this underground bunker set up and livable by sundown, we're all fucked. Zombie Swine Flu carriers are headed to your town... tonight. Their goal? Infect you. Only Fox News can save us now... stay glued to your TV.

Really? Really? Are we as a country so terrified and gullible that we listen to everything we're fed and live in fear over something that really had little to no chance of infecting anyone we know? There's been 1 confirmed death in the US. 1 person! More people have did from ACTUAL PROBLEMS in the time I've been writing this entry. If the plummeting economy doesn't kill you, the Swine Flu will. If the Swine Flu does kill you, good... you won't die at the hands of a shitty economy.

My point? I don't know. The news sucks. When there isn't news, the news makes it's own news. This created "news" isn't anything positive... it's something stirred up to make us feel bad about ourselves, make us worry for our safety, or to remind us that there is absolutely no "good" left in anyone. We're all backstabbing, home invading, disease carrying jerks, and there ain't a damn thing that's gonna change about that unless we go out and consume. Consume we will... and why? Because it makes us feel safe. Having things is comfort, especially when having those things means warding off the horrible infections, the perverts and the crooks.

Well. That about ends that portion of the blog. I'll refer to this as my awesome "Current Events" post. Don't come back expecting too many more of those... I don't exactly have my forefinger on the pulse of the news, or daily events, or really where I am half of the time. I'm just trying to skate by, have some good times, do some laundry, have a good meal or two, and hopefully end every single day where it started... in my bed. Sometimes I don't get any of those things done, and sometimes I wake up on the couch.

I'm gonna go play some pool tonight, I hope to play a dude... and I also hope to win. I've got to go home in 13 minutes, take a shower, kiss my cat, meet Brandon, and get some pool played. Have fun out there kids, keep your collective unit on ya, and whatever you do.. don't go to Mexico. You can't drink the water, and you might get a cold. Man... stupid news.
