On getting fat and dealing with pyschopaths

As I sit in my apartment, surrounded by Pepsi bottles and watching the new Death Race on Cinemax, I am reminded about how much life now sucks.

You see, this is not of my own doing or choice, it is a byproduct of an increasingly insular society. We communicate through half-words and symbols, losing our voices in the process. LOL. So, we become less human and more parrot every day. Our pursuits can be listed:

1. Wealth
2. Instant gratification
3. Friending people on Facebook
4. The subsequent reading of even the most mundane thoughts
5. Eating
6. Shitting
7. Wealth
8. Winning at EVERYTHING. Even when winning isn't possible
9. Idolizing petty fame and mild importance
10. Teaching our kids the same shitty way of life.

So, as I sit and write this, searching through the channel guide to remove the stain of watching a Jason Statham vehicle (Snatch, excluded and no pun intended), I wonder if we will ever snap out of it and become human again?

Hopefully, the answer is in one of Kim Kardashian's Tweets.
