Confronting your evil silhouette
Bombardment of my person: I can't help but become distracted by the slow and ugly destruction of my mind by this electronic box in my living area, always firing electrons "passively" towards the screen as if to say, "Oh, you don't have to watch me, no big deal. I have better shit to do anyway; other friends to take care of and things." Mocking contempt leads to guilt, and soon enough there I am, right in front of the fucker with my eyes glazing over. Lately I've been coming up with potential defenses and attitudes to bring into one of several TV courtrooms (different strategies for different judges). I can't help but imagine how they'd insult and belittle me. I am in constant and arresting fear of my dog biting children, car accidents, and lack of paperwork. Those judgemental bastards.
I also saw an apparently new show called "Confronting Evil" which features victims confronting offenders in an attempt to sew up old wounds and deal with nightsweats and the like. My favorite questions, "What was with the gun butts in my face and the punches?" and "Why did you have to shoot me?" The answers, "Well, I thought you might pull the alarm or something, and also we wanted the money." The expected answer (to close the wounds), "Well, I was, at the time, suffering from serious instablility issues with my family, thus leading me to feel emotionally unstable. I receieved a gun from my brother who had a rummage sale, and the bullets in it represented the deteriorating connection that existed with my brother's children whom had recently been molested. By firing them, I felt as though I was severing the ties that had for so long tortured me. Obviously, I held no contempt for you when I shot your rib cage apart." The real answer, "It's pretty fun to shoot people in the stomach, like you're in an old west movie or gangster movie. I played Grand Theft Auto quite a bit and the lifestyle was enticing. Sorry?"
How pathetic that my will is too weak to filter things like this out while passively using the TV as background noise as I watch DVDs on my computer.
Well, here's the quote you asked for:
"A man is only truly rich when his fortune is no longer someone else's debt."

your quote is wise; its silent judgement weakens me. its truth is a bright light shining.
is there really a show called confronting evil? if so, what channel? don't say "43" either, because that doesn't help me one bit.
but don't feel bad about the electronic joybox sucking you in like a vampire. i can waste incredible amounts of time watching goo; the best thing lately is the show, "helen's best hat," in which three women compete to see who can eat the most donuts before the whistle blows and they have to purge. it's based on an old tv movie starring meredith baxter-birney that was called, "i'm eating all the whip cream, daniel." "helen's best hat" is not a gameshow; it's a reality docu-drama that uses game show-like tactics to prove to us just how far people can sink.
actually, there's a show called "dog whisperer" that the onion AV club discussed last week, in which a pet behavioralist "talks" to people's pooches. it sounds great.
thirdly (?), gonna watch the oscars tonight; hoping for best song to be "it's hard out here for a pimp" from "hustle and flow," which is an awesome movie in case you haven't seen it... no, really, i'm serious this time.
also: see "grizzly man," if you haven't yet (it's out on DVD). wow.
Yeah, I saw Grizzly Man in the cheap theater, I think I mentioned it on here. Maybe search for it, I don't remember what I said back then. It certainly ain't about a man that likes bears; more like a man who was beat out by Woody Harrelson.
There is really a show called Confronting Evil and it's not on channel 43. It's on channel 77 (or around there). I really like the idea of "Helen's Best Hat," especially the whistle blowing part. It kinda sounds like the Real World, but more focused. I will watch it (on channel 68, right?) and get back to you.
Dog Whisperer: also a good show, but it's more of just a guy that does in fact deal with dogs good. He probably charges hundreds of dollars an hour with his claim that he can hear them speak. He can take my dog and molest her for all I care. Just kidding, nobody will be molesting her on my watch or my dollar.
