The American Dream...as a kid growing up, I was taught that you should study hard, go to college, study more, work hard, buy a car, buy a house, work hard, go on vacation twice a year, raise a family, work hard, go to the Dr often, go to the Dentist often, work hard, pay your bills, Retire with benefits and plenty of $$$ in order to enjoy the Golden Years...the American Dream right? I Realized in my early twenty's the American Dream was just that, a mother humping fantasy! No matter what the job or how hard I worked, no matter who I vote for, the American Dream is in reality a f*cking nightmare! In the Real World today, Everything is Outsourced, OVERPRICED and everyone is Underpaid! Add Climate Change and lack of Healthcare and Corruption in the government and you have the result of "too Expensive to live/die" in the world now.

How The Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) with Jim Carrey. A live action version of the movie seemed so cool. You may or may not have noticed though, it is a completely different story from the original. Like, absolutely opposite, completely different message type of story.

The original How The Grinch Stole Christmas is a sweet story about a wholesome town that wins over a mean grinch with its resolve to stay positive and grateful for having each other. The Jim Carrey version, on the other hand, paints the picture of a promiscuous, debaucherous, and outright mean corrupt town that drove the grinch to his nastiness. It's the opposite story of what it once was.

I find that upsetting and prefer the original. The Grinch is supposed to be the mean one and the Christmas town is supposed to be the nice place. That's the point. The Carrey version was a fine film in and of itself, but don't call it the story of the Grinch. Different grinch, different town.

I'm sure opinions will differ, but as you see I'm quite passionate about this, ha ha.

High School and being a teenager…

Sounded so cool cuz oh independence and oh I’m becoming a woman!

Nah bro that stuff is there but it’s overpowered by depression, anxiety, fear of failure, overprotective smothering from my mom, being treated like a child but expected to act maturely… you get the point :/

Oh and let’s not forget the intense fear of growing up when you reach high school and realize you’re expected to move out and make your own living in 4 years.

Becoming an adult when inflation is at an all time high, rent is insane, owning a house is out of the question, and I will probably never be able to live "comfortably" while minimum wage barely moved an inch.

I saw we were having a dance at our school. I was super excited until I found out it was a silent disco…
In a silent disco you all wear headphones and listen to the same music. IMO, it’s just gonna be super awkward bc we can’t even talk to each other. Like, why can’t we just have a DJ like the last dance?!

Relationships. Disney sells us lies about true love and happily ever after, but in reality it's hard work and once you've been hurt the first time, you are super careful about giving your heart to anyone ever again. It takes decades to recover fully.

Religion. As a teenager it was my major focus. I went to seminary college out of high school expecting to find great purpose and instead found business as usual, the same venality we find among humans everywhere. And I discovered that the concept of God they presented was far too limited. Basically they still conceived God as having human characteristics including all of our faults -- jealousy, anger, venality, arrogance, needing to be worshipped. It struck me that there was nothing divine about God as they created Him nor was there any reason why there should be separation between any individual and whatever the organizing force of the universe might be. No real God would need to be worshipped. Plus these would be priests were all terrified of women. It is a strange thing we have created with religion. So I took myself and my cosmic thinking elsewhere.

Wokes. When I learned of this ideology, I believed it to be good and positive. I now realize that people who call themselves Wokes are vindictive, sometimes violent in their actions and words, and not open to discussion. According to the Wokes, THEY are always right. The past is always wrong and THEY are the best. I can't wait to see how future generations will judge them for their acts of eradication and cancel culture and erasure of history.

The Colbert Report.

I once adored the show, and even now when I watch clips it's captivating and hysterical.
But I found out that it's not all in good, harmless fun. It's consciously, utterly harmful "fun," and won an audience by manipulating them with jingoistic propaganda while pretending to satirize jingoistic propaganda.

It doesn't improve my opinion that the host has been stalking a woman since the show started and steals her writing. For the squeaky clean, friendly public image he puts out and defends with bullying and endless lies, he's not a good guy.

I used to be a huge iCarly fan as a kid (literally was one of my favorite shows growing up), and Sam was my favorite character. I even used to watch the spin off of Sam and Cat too. I read Jennette McCurdy's (the actress who plays her) book. Great book, but now I can never bring myself to look back at either show the same way now that I know what she was going through.

Early retirement (@36). Seemed like a dream, and I volunteer to contribute to society and spend time... But you quickly learn all your friends and people your age are never available to hang out like you are, and some are jealous/resentful! And in my case it wasn't even voluntary (I liked my job but was laid off due to Covid at the beginning, just happened to have a profitable "hobby")!

A very recent one that stung me.

I am someone who very much became a fan of Invincible from the Amazon Prime show. I knew of the comics, but I never personally read any of them just due to not finding them.

A few days ago, they revealed a trailer for a new game called Invincible: Guarding the Globe. And the trailer looked good. The character models of Invincible, Atom Eve, and Monster Girl looked great in a 3D cell-shaded art style, and the cutscene looked good... Until another Atom Eve and two more Monster Girl's showed up. That's when the game started to be sus.

And just a few seconds later... they tacked on the gameplay. Which happens to be your standard mobile phone "RPG" that would see your team battle against another, but only requiring the most minimal of involvement from the player, and every other character more than likely needing to be bought.

Screw me for hoping for a fighting game, or maybe even a "Marvel Ultimate Alliance"/"X-Men Destiny" styled RPG, am I right?

Let's hope the Mortal Kombat 1 rumours are true, so that way an Invincible character will be able to have a better first video game appearance.
