Who Cares?
Sex in Hollywood or Washington or small town America - Monogamy - Polygamy - B & D - Married or unmarried - Gay, straight or Celibate - Preachers and prostitutes - Super Stars - naughty thoughts - lusting in the heart - Politicians and their aides - Auto-eroticism - Congressmen in airport bathrooms - Cross-dressing FBI Directors - Wardrobe malfunctions - Sports Figures - World leaders - Don't ask, don't tell - secret sex tapes of the stars - Next door neighbors - Mannequin lust - Fruit & vegetable fetishes... I mean really, who cares?
I guess a simple, titillating curiosity is pretty normal. But in our culture, there's a prurient obsession, to the point of national distraction, with other people's sex lives. Perhaps people should be focusing on their own sex lives, their own taboos, their own desires - their own fantasies and fulfillment's - or lack thereof. It might curb the media manipulated appetite for vicarious engagement, distraction, and reaction.
What are we not focusing on when we're distracted by "Who's Screwing Who?"
Perhaps we're not focusing on our own unquestioning submission to those who are screwing us all.
Perhaps we could redirect our self-righteous, moral outrage - if we weren't so busy screwing ourselves.
Wow, congraulations! Another blog! There are 126 million blogs out there, but I feel it in my bones that THIS one will be special! Good luck with it.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, misdirection works very well to keep the rabble confused and ineffectual. Well, screw that, I always say!
I feel that the infatuation with other folks sex lives is due to the inadequacy or lack of sex that the distracted folk are having. Maybe you (the royal you, i.e. everyone) have experienced this in your own life, where you haven't been laid in months and you suddenly find yourself diving deeper into those headlines at the grocery store while you're waiting in line to check out. Checkin out is exactly what you're doin. It's just an example...but of course I don't speak from experience.
ReplyDeleteTo my good friend Gordon...
ReplyDeleteThanks for your unwavering confidence and support.
And to Gordon and Ryan...
Thanks for checking this out and I'd comment more on the misdirection of energy into checking out around the "Sex Lives of the Rich and Famous", except that I'd have to consider it a further misdirection of my own energy - a form of checking out ya' know...
Thanks Guys.
