The Definition Can Bite Me

I don't give a flying shit about the botanical definition of a berry. I have just learned that by this definition pumpkins, oranges, and bananas are all berries. But raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries are not.

Fuck that dude. Bananas do not get to be berries!

A Second Tremor

Why on Earth are people so goddamned obsessed with controlling other people's lives? This particular 'why' has been on my mind much lately, and I just can't step past it. This has been beating my brain so much over the last week that I just want to scream it out sometimes. Why?! WHY?! WHHHHYYYYY!?

And it isn't only for my sake. I am not particularly oppressed but the people around are barely allowed to think differently without being shutdown; I almost want to weep for them.

No one is allowed to be gay, Native Americans can't be left the fuck alone, teachers can't hate their students, teenagers can't pray, people can't smoke in a car with their child, teenagers can't see nakedness or, God forbid, have sex (When biology does such torturous things too a 14 year old and then society tells that 14 year old that all of his urges and feelings and instincts are BAD, BAD, BAD, a person is bound to become a little confused and abashed about sexuality in general), boys can't like ballet, youth can't be republican, an 18 year old can't have beer, a student can't have her own prescription, a movie can't cuss (but blowing a German's head off? Now that's just cool dude.), a woman can't dye her hair blonde, you can't skateboard without being a hooligan, you can't have tattoos or colored hair without being a miscreant, you can't vote directly for your chosen candidate, you can't write in a journal without being emo, you can't feel as if you were born into the wrong gender and body, and you most definitely can't decide that you are right and your Representative is wrong because the media will change your mind, and if they don't well there doesn't seem to be a goddamned thing you can do about it anyway because billions of dollars have been invested in convincing the important people otherwise. And when you do try to do something about it or stand up for somebody or yourself you get mocked, laughed at, and ignored.

Why is it so infinitely important to control other people? Why are we so afraid of each other? Why do we hate so many things? Why do we manipulate? Why do we sell our Senate seats? Why has the Information Age coincided with the Unhealthy, Lazy, Indifferent, and Ignorant Age? Why?

Sometimes I just feel like "What the HELL am I going to do about it and why the fuck should I?"

Fuck!
