One of the things I hate about growing older is that hair stops growing on the back of your head (bald spot), and grows instead on your ears. You can tell you’re an old man if you have hair in your ears.
What is nature saying to me? Your ears are colder and need some hair. Luckily, my wife thinks I still look fine and doesn’t seem to care. But if I wasn’t married, if I had a date with a hot young chick, I’d make sure to shave my ears first.
Another disconcerting thing is nose hair. Your nose hair starts to turn gray. No joke. Being gray makes it easier to spot. I have yet to see a hair dye on the market for nose hair, so entrepreneurs take note.
God, I hate the cult of fame that has ruined this country. Robert Blake, an aging, over-the-hill actor who became famous for speaking on a 1970’s TV show like an ignoramus, “dat’s the name of dat tune,” is in trouble for allegedly shooting his wife. Here we go, O.J. all over again.
Simpson, a football player who couldn’t control his temper, and who had the mind of a five-year-old kid, was showered with money only because he can run and jump like a jackrabbit. That’s all he can do.
Ask a teenager, who designed the Washington Monument? He can’t tell you. But he knows all about Simpson. Why? Why is ignorance so richly rewarded in this country? All an athlete is, is a person who can pick up a piece of cow hide (football) and run with it.
All an actor is, is a sort of trained monkey, who recites dialog he didn’t write, in front of a camera, in an interesting way. Marlon Brando himself once said something to the effect that, “acting is beneath nothing.”
A person who says, “dis and dat,” instead of “this and that,” should be ridiculed, not thought to be cool by young people, looked up to. Clearly, if you don’t know anything, if you can’t build anything, if all you can do is jump like a zoo animal (after practicing it eight million times), you’re hip, neat, cool, boss, bitchin,’ or using today’s lexicon, “rad,” (for radical……dude!)
And to think, sharks are called dumb because they do everything by reflex action, much like athletes duck and run, or actors memorize scripts. This is grossly unfair to sharks.
If you talk like an idiot, swagger around and act the tough guy, slaughtering the English language, you’re cool. Back in the old days, if you spoke like that, they’d lock you up in a mental asylum. They had common sense back then.
For some reason, ignorance is thought to be desirable.
