I was trying to think of something real lame right now in my over tired state of mind, and all that came up was how lame culture really is. If you think about it, it is full of crap that nobody actually gives a toss about. The only parts that people enjoy have common themes like EATING, ENTERTAINMENT and PARTYING - yep that is the foundation of good culture, might as well drop all the lame acts with silly getups - and get out and get something, or life's just gonna pass you by. Forget wishy washy cultural crap. Everyone loves a good feed. Take my japan for instance: We got great food, sweet cartoons, cool as celebrations (less people care about these because half of them are boring).... Go to Brazil - got an awesome party, and a whole lot of meat, the really got some go BBQ - bit like American culture - what is it about, entertainment, food, partying... it is all the same destination with all these cultures. All these claims of having a unique and amazing culture is just bogus. Make believe, trying to make you believe in something that ain't really true. Who the hell cares about the boring sides of culture besides the brainwashed mumpty dumpties. When I get all cultured with the Samoans - I don't do it for their 6 hour white Sunday boring ass church service where half the crowed snooze - I go straight to the after party where there be a feast. When I chill with my Italiano friends - do I go there to talk about the building of Rome - hell no, I go there to eat Nona's family recipes and to drink some of the home made wines. You gotta be kidding me if you actually care more about the boring ass side of cultures when the good side is all the same stuff anyway. You go to a Jewish wedding for the crazy dance - then fooood. The sooner we get over all this let's be cultured crap the sooner we will mold as the simple society we really are, a food loving, entertainment loving, party loving bunch of crazy kids.
PS: Purebreeds can go die, us mix and match fruit salad types kick ass - because we embrace the most important bits. For me it's all about food. I don't give a damn about some silly traditions. Shove tradition in a fatmans tomb for all I care.
So many posts in so little time! Almost a short story and I like it, more than poetry too.
