Just.... Go Away

Now that the final days of the year are counting down I must give a few comments. This is the time of the year when there are lists of people who have died, mostly famous, but, some who are not generally known to all of us. These lists remind us, ''Oh, yeah, I forgot he died in this year''. So, it is with great relish that I give a few moments of my time to the people who I wish would go away forever. Now, mind you, I am not advocating their deaths---- for I am all love. But, rather, I just state my irritation that they continue to suck up favorable oxygen and are complete wastes of skin. So, here were go...... Any Politician. It is sure easy to want nothing good to happen to these shysters who pretend to have our--- ha, ha,---- best interests at heart. However, I do wish them some success because it trickles down to us when they do well. But, they aren't doing well. I never heard the term''Fiscal Cliff'' before [ sounds like a Pink Floyd album]. Apparently, this means that we are going fast over an possible economic collapse. The major players in this, the President and Speaker Boehner want the best for us. They wanna save us, but, those darn rascals in the other party won't cooperate!!! So, they are in a stalemate. Which could bring everything crashing down. To see the leader of the free world, and, his Republican opposite argue about who is wrong shows us, once again, the pig-headedness of politics. These stooges got us into this muck, now, they wanna save us. And, how are we going to be saved? Well, dear class, through more money leaving all our pockets, to be put into theirs. The system is so screwed up that we can no longer blame a single party, or, economic plan. Share the burden, boys. Fix the problem with the decency of a human being. And, then Go Away...... Tom Cruise and John Travolta. Come on, guys, we all know that you are closet dicksmokers. The rumors about the ''Scientology Boys'' have been prancing around since they became famous. Rumors usually die after a year or two, but, with these two, the rumors have only gotten stronger. Travolta was the subject of two lawsuits this year from people who were paid to give him a ''massage''. Now, to be fair, both lawsuits were thrown out of court. That doesn't mean that there wasn't some merit to what was alleged, only that there was no, ahem, hard evidence. A more reliable witness to the life of Travolta comes in the form of his good friend, Carrie Fisher. She stated a couple of years ago that all of his friends know of his behavior and have no problem with it. So, Fisher says, he should come clean [ stop giggling]. And, Tommy Cruise? Our Top Gun in Hollywood still tries to play macho with his toy movies. Once again, Cruise is saving the world for the good of Scientology in his latest film, ''Jack Reacharound'', or, whatever it is called. I made a Facebook joke several months ago about how auditions for his new ''wife'' must be a hot ticket for any actress with ambition and no self-esteem. Well, I wasn't far off!!! Several reliable publications have stated that he is, in fact, searching for his new wife. Good God!!! Is this poor son of a bitch screwed up!!!! Both actors should come forward and say the truth. Their days of matinee idol status are long gone. Their movies bring in a fraction of what they used to, so, obviously, the public is not buying their fiction. So, come out of the closet, boys. And, then, Go Away.... The Kardashians and the Jersey Shore casts. I know. This is a slam-dunk. What more needs to be said about this brainless lot? Well, not much about them, but, a lot about their audience who continue to watch this mental train wreck without seeing the light of knowledge. Yes, I understand the theory of many people who say that they watch knowing full well that it is insulting to anyone's intelligence. They see the joke, so, that is why they do not take it seriously. Ok, I will grant some people that, for the sake of the argument. However, what these people do fail apparently to understand is that network executives do not care why you watch, just that you watch. They are making money regardless of the audiences intentions. Why anyone would willingly sink to the level of this trash is beyond my scope of understanding. They are being used, just like the morons who watch and believe they are seeing unscripted, ''reality'' TV. Most of the audience fails to grasp the manipulations that go into programs like this. It is the equivalent of acting like a moron because other people act that way, ignoring the truth that they all a re in the same cesspool and should be judged as one. Many people I know and love watch this dreck and it stumps me of why they do it. So, the best thing is for these cretins on the show-- and, their makers--- to just Go Away..... How about people on Facebook who post EVERYTHING AND EVERY THOUGHT that they have? There are some great thinkers on FB. But, I do not need to hear about how you just had a great political thought, or, about your most recent bowel movement [ the case can be made that these two thoughts can be one in the same]. Another thing that frosts me is when people steal well-known thoughts of famous people and use them as their own without giving due credit to the author. So, if you must be an egotist and share every brilliant thought and reflection on life, please, do not do it on FB. Do it the old-fashioned way: write a blog. Go Away...... Jimmy Fallon. I have to scratch my head until I am bloody to figure out if this shithead has ever done anything even remotely funny. He sure thinks he has. Every once in a while a performer will rise to the top of the entertainment world without any scrap of talent. Fallon is this generation's symbol. He was not funny on ''SNL'' when he was on, with his smirking and ''look how funny I am in this sketch because I can't keep a straight face'' way of performing. His talk show is not really a talk show. It is just a way for him to go from one bad impression to another with a occasional stop with talking to a hapless guest. And, his commercials should be used by medical people to induce vomiting, so painful that they are. I don't get it. I have a fairly strong knowledge of comedy. Even some comedians I do not like I concede have talent, like Billy Crystal or Mike Myers. But, Fallon stumps me. Why Lorne Michaels put all his faith into this guy is an open question. Lorne, who still produces the comatose ''SNL'', has long lost whatever ability to spot funny people. Maybe, because of Lorne Michaels standing in the show business industry, Fallon flourishes. I don't know. I do know that Jimmy Fallon needs to Go Away...... Finally, the year ended with an unspeakable tragedy in a school in Newtown. Nothing more needs to be said about this horror. What needs to be said is how every year we seem to sink more and more into the abyss of murder. Society has become a killing machine, as never before in our history. Why? Well, partly--- and, it is a big part---- because of what we watch. I am one of those who blame Hollywood and video games for adding to the mind of a psycho with the endless displays of violence and destruction. I saw the great director, Quentin Tarantino, recently interviewed on the subject. As much as a fan I am of his work I also concede that he just does not get the link between movie mayhem and real-life mayhem. He defended the right of the artist to express himself in any way that he wants. Well, that is true in terms of artistic license, but, he fails to make a convincing case for society not being influenced by it. Tarantino is on the other side of life, so, part of what he says can be excused as someone living in a bubble of comfort. But, he is very wrong about the influence violence has on society. Walk into any mall and hear the talk, or, see the wardrobe being worn by young adults. It is out of any movie or hip-hop song. Popular movies and music nowadays, more often than not, express rage and disrespect at all society. There has always been that speck of rebellion throughout the generations of youth, but, never more deep and never more hateful, than we see now. The biggest influences on teeneagers and young adults is music and movies and video games. And, most preach some kind of violence on society. Is it any wonder that deeply disturbed individuals, after being constantly exposed to all this madness and dark impulses, break down mentally and lash out. Some do it verbally. Some physically. And, some take out a gun from somewhere and fire at the innocent. I have never believed in censorship across the board because it does curtail originality to some degree. Still, the mindless violence should be policed. Never before have we had this problem. As I write this, there is a commercial playing advertising the remake of ''The Texas Chainsaw Massacre In 3D''. I guarantee that some disturbed minds will find this movie to be an outlet for their horrible thoughts. And, somewhere in these misguided minds, a seed of violence is being planted. This type of entertainment cannot be tolerated anymore. It needs to Go Away...... Remember, I am still all about love. These thoughts are just a few nuggets of what sticks in my craw from time to time. I'm sure that you have yours. However, let me wish you all ''Happy New Year'', full of good health and wealth and good memories. I will see most of you throughout the year and let us all have good times. Cheers!!!!..........
