Afternoon All,
Existence (in general) is taken for granted. Not on purpose, mind you, but accidentally just because we felt like it. I'm here, you're here, we're all here (at least until we're not). And yet, you're not here. You're not here because I'm writing this at work, and pretty sure I can't see you. Then again, just because I can't see you doesn't mean you're not here, does it? I mean, we might be in different rooms or something. Or, if you prefer, I could expound on the thought process concerning the fact that we're always with the people we meet, know, love etc. In which case you're here (but you're not because you're there) and I'm there (but I'm not because I'm here) and along with that, the other six billion people on the planet are there too... or are they here? Not only are they with us, but they most likely visit everyone else too, in which case they're probably so fragmented that it's debatable as to whether or not they actually do exist. And for that matter, we're also fragmented to that extent (based on this theory) which leads me to believe that we aren't here either. This flows directly into an ominous pair of questions. What if none of us are here at all, and we're merely fragments of some other higher beings imagination? Or, if you prefer, what if life as we know it is this higher beings dream; and that when this being wakes up we all disappear? Now, since we're all merely fragments of the twisted imagination of this being (and we all go poof when he wakes up) it causes me to wonder if he included himself if his dreams. Most people do, so ordinarily it wouldn't be all that odd, but in this case it is. Allow me to explain. You see, if he included himself in his dreams then he is technically a figment of his own imagination. Does he disappear when he wakes up? If he does, did he exist in the first place? Is he a murderer, or was it just a mass suicide (as we are all figments of his imagination)? I suppose that one comes down to whether or not we're considered his "multiple personalities" or not. If someone with multiple personality disorder threatens suicide, is it a hostage situation? One final question before I go... If I'm not here, then who wrote this? Are you really reading it? Does it really exist? Oops, that was three questions. Oh well, none of us are here to do anything about it.
Pop Star...Mascots
"Strangely absent from tonight's game was Mr. Met. The loveable mascot with a huge baseball for a head was nowhere to be seen thus adding fuel to the rumors that he is a member of *Nsync. He, nor the band, have never been seen in the same place together."
Quote from majorleaguebaseball.com. (reference to game 3 of the Subway Series) Does this mean that some random member of the Backstreet Boys is really the Phillie Phanatic? And, I don't know about you, but when I think of the San Diego Chicken, Britney Spears just seems to fit into that role. The scary thing here people is that the bubble gum pop stars I'm using are still current and (in the eyes of kids ages 7-13) popular. And, if this is what happens to the popular ones, where does that leave folks like Hanson and the New Kids on the Block? Speaking of long lost teen idols, Tiffany's Behind the Music airs this weekend. Tiffany's. Last time I checked that was a store on 5th Avenue in New York. Her Greatest Hit(s) album "thinks it's alone now", but only because there was basically that one song, which by the way was a remake! Couldn't even write her own bubblegum pop hit in the 80's. I ask you, how sad is that fact considering that the 90's gave us such "gems" as "Barbie Girl" and "Da Da Da?"
Anyway, I'm getting off the subject here, because there are a few problems with my theory which I will outline and try to fix now. Mr. Met and the Phillie Phanatic are actually COOL! (therefore, doesn't this effectively eliminate *NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys from being anywhere near them?)
The San Diego Chicken was HUGE in the 80's, but not much has been heard from him since then come to think of it, that chicken has little in common with Britney Spears, and much more in common with, dare I say Tiffany? It's another Tiffany connection folks. She admits in the promo for her BTM that she (gasp!) smoked pot, and even PCP after her 15 minutes of fame in order to compensate for her loss of the spotlight. She also admits that she "liked being high." Now, it seems to me that someone who could have a high self esteem (and be happy about career placement as the San Diego Chicken) needs to not only like being high, but LOVE it!
The other scary thing is that all 3 members of Hanson look remarkably like the Blonde Dixie Chicks. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the Dixie Chicks music, I'm just saying that Hanson looks female enough as it is, without modeling themselves after them. The video for MMMBOP was bad enough, and this whole situation is just making it worse. I'm not even going to get into the New Kids on the Block, except to frighten all of you by mentioning that they actually have a Greatest Hits album out in stores.
