Its Survivor Time I'll Need a Young Preist, and an Old Preist
Dan must go. Dan wasn't featured at all in this weeks show. Dan is useless.
Anyway, the men won this weeks immunity challenge, good in that they beat the women, bad in that Dan is still around. Joanne was either possed by, or revealed to be satan this week; for those of you who couldn't spot the symptoms, I've include a picture beneath this paragraph. My god, A bitchier bitch has yet to bitch. She lost any amount of respect I may have given her the minute the hand went up. I don't feel like spending too much more time describing the waste of flesh that is Joanne.
 Joanne / Satan Herself
Still no shelter in the women's camp. hehehehehe, stupid women. Even a child knows that an upside down boat can be used for shelter
Peace Out Wait a secound, these are 'Fun'dementals, they're 'yawn'demental.

Drawing the Line Come On, Everybody Sells Out, Its the 'Hip' Thing to Do! edit (feb 25, 2003) Alternate Title: My Big Fat Greek Sell-Out
Ah, the line, that place where no one dares venture past. The sacred place that is left untarnished by the human foot, so as to preserve its fore fathers lore for future generations. That ripe sack of money just waiting to be picked from the tree, just one shake and I'm sure it will fall to the ground. Pandora's box, if you will.
I'm a reasonable person. I look for reason in things, and try to figure out why a person would take a certain course of action. If you do something, theres got to have been something that drove you there. So it is beyond me why everything is being sold out. A brand name these days is more important then the product that its slapped on.
So it was with utter disgust that I saw a commercial for an upcoming new series tonight whelst I watched the 300th episode of the Simpsons (speaking of sell outs). My Big Fat Greek Life. The little movie that went a long way on word of mouth (BS, unless you count the lead actress's interviews with people such as Jay Leno while on the Tonight Show as word of mouth), but anyway, it had little to no advertising budget, and it made a crap load of money at the box office. This is a good thing, Its nice to see that happen. Why can't it be left at that?
Because every last cent has yet to be squeezed from it. Today's market doesn't take the elder, or disabled members of a buffalo herd, leaving the others to repopulate and ensure that there will be buffalo for the future, no, todays market runs them all off a cliff, until we're either sick of the taste of buffalo, or they're extint.
When did we forget that money is just paper and metal? Money on its own can not make you happy. Its what you do with that money that can make you, or others, happy. And if everybody is out to make a lot of money by selling crap, then what you go to buy with your money is in turn crap, and we've gotten ourselves into a bit of a catch 22. You can get really rich by selling people crap, but theres nothing on the market that can make you happy, as everything being sold is get rich crap.
Somewhere along the lines I hope that a company realizes this. Otherwise theres going to be a lot of unhappy people in this world, failing to see the points of things, and perhaps looking for a way out of it all.
Peace Out Worthless Crap On Sale All This Week
