Sometimes I wish I were more eloquent.
As I sit here I have a rant in my head, that could be better written by some of my fellow bloggers. As, I am not a smart writer - I just write. It comes from my brain...huh....I guess all writing starts there. I promise that was not a ruse to prove my point.
Lately, I've been a bore. Life has been all about digging deep, discovering oneself, having the tough conversations and questioning what society has to offer me and what I want to choose for myself.
I have been a talkaholic. Constantly. Talking, ranting, dreaming, scheming, yelling, bitching, arguing, bickering...and so on...As you notice, most of those are power words. Yes, please throw me against a wall with a wink...
Anyway, I was at hemp fest this weekend. As I walk around looking at bongs - or I'm sorry, water pipes, as is politically correct. I realize the craftsmanship that goes into this glassblowing process...tis incredible. Also, I see the crowd of people (I heard around 30,000) crammed into this teeny tiny park, 90% of them high, being so calm and peaceful. Enjoying themselves, eating greasy food, sharing in a similar belief and cause, smoking pot together and experiencing something that can rarely be experienced in the wonderful US of A. I was lying down and watching all these people around me, and decided to think about this situation, but instead of weed, it's liquor. Let me tell you, that the scene would not have been so peaceful. It makes me wonder why marijuana is still illegal - I have other reasons for wondering this, however, it just sparks more curiosity. When I learned why pot became illegal in the first place it made me really mad. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marijuana_legalization)
There is this horrible stigma that goes with pot. If you're a pothead, you're lazy, can't go to work...and are probably a hippy living off the government's salary and raising my taxes...thanks for that stigma Roosevelt and all the other idiots who cannot think for themselves. It agitates me that this mentality about marijuana is still here today and its almost 2010. Are we really still thinking with our heads up our ass?
Anyway, I find myself constantly irritated at the irrationality (is that a word) of the general population in my country. When eavesdropping on conversations on the bus or in the streets, or in store lines, I realize that a lot of people really take this quote to heart, and it's painful...
"I believe everything I read, and I think that makes me a more selective person." Nigel Tufnel, This is Spinal Tap
Its just dumb.
Anyway, there is no point to this post....other than to say that its just dumb.
