purposes of superficiality...

i am not a smart man. ok maybe that isn't true but i know that there are a lot of people that know a lot more than i do. this bugs me. i don't know why this does but for some reason all of the arcane knowledge that i know which grows seemingly every day always leaves me with hopes for more. this is kind of like a crack addiction but since i have never done crack i can't really make that analysis i just heard it somewhere and thought it would sound cool. what i am really trying to say is why in this country dominated by media culture do we value and at the same time degrad knowledge of the senseless type?

i have always spent my life reading way too many music magazines. this is my porn. i absorb modern rock literature like it is the bible or the koran or something along those lines. the problem is that this is my problem. why do i get so consumed by this pointless guys like myself who all they can do is talk about why Frank Zappa was important and whether Bob Dylan going electric was a good or bad thing. i don't know these things because i am a young kid. being 21 and growing up in a small town doesn't leave you with many options. therefore the waste that is rock criticism has become an outlet to avoid picking up a single school book because what can the biological basis for all human development tell me about which Beatle was more important and why. these burning questions that someone like me strives to know and better stated spit out at bars and parties when completely intoxicated off of Pabst. but then again at the same time all of this knowledge of which i have worked tirelessly to learn can always be insulted by someone else just like me. i don't think there has been a time when i have fully agreed with anyone about anything really. the cannibalistic approach to the snob life has turned me into a elitist and an asshole. part of me should really care that i am insulting random people that i don't know about things that don't matter. but i don't.

i guess i didn't say much in totality. except i'm an asshole and i don't know anything about rock music or anything in general. oh well at least i live in a state where 65% of us are alcoholics and the rest love god and alcohol at the same time. weird state. it's true.
