You know-despite my pride and often cocky opinions about a wide range of subjects...I have to admit that I could never get along with upper-class society! Massive houses that no one lives in since its just to show the average Joe just how much they are failing at every task in life and how much they themselves are succeeding! Having wealth isn't the sin the Bible speaks of...I believe; Its the flaunting of it and shoving the "YOU SUCK" message down everyone Else's throat that is really the evil deed here. Like, do you really want to feel like a loser every time you walk into BayView mall in Toronto just because your not wearing a suit a tie that costs more than your car or a pathetic boa made out of fox fur (which mind you SCREAMS I am rich and have stepped on everyone in my way to get here including this poor animal that now hangs around my neck!) Its a free country and I can go anywhere I please...I know that! but fucking hell there are some places the Low-life's do not dare roam because you are made to feel unwelcome. If you show your face in Bayview mall dressed in something that costs less than a thousand dollars an entire chain reaction occurs and every snot-faced woman and prick of a man turns around to take a rare glimpse of what the cat dragged in.
I find that most (if not all) people who hold any amount of wealth or position (such as a CEO) are such fake and pretence people. Its not that I've spent tons of time hanging about with them because believe me I'm the man who stands on the other side of the track from them but I've had the pleasure of observing a few high stationed men in Walmart once flocking about and bossing around the employees as if they were their personal servants... and their behaviour towards everyone else (who was common and not within their prickish circle) confirmed in my opinion that most (again IF NOT ALL) people of that category are absolutely snobbish assholes who think themselves better than everyone else. Well NEWSFLASH people, we all eat, we all sleep and we all shit...that's a human thing that we all have in common and about the only thing I have in common with people like that because I have morals, I have a heart and I am actually living in reality unlike those folks in high fashion suits.
Since walking around in a dull-ass art gallery holding a glass of champagne and chatting utter nonsense (unless its about how to rip someone else off) isn't actually what I call reality. I find that more people of "better-means" spend more time immersing themselves in projects and conventions they couldn't care less about...their only there to see and be seen and find gossip about some arch rival they have a grudge against.
Even the food they eat is folly bollocks that no one in his right mind would consume! I made up a list for fun of all the exotic food I hear rich people (or famous chefs) eat and I haven't come across a half palatable thing yet! Prosciutto is as tough as shoe leather...in fact I think I've eaten shoes that were softer. Squid-who on heavens earth would eat a leg with suckers on it...I found a fucking squids body swimming in my salad bowl, like that just isn't a natural thing to find when you're eating! Give me the auld food of the pilgrims any day , at least what they ate was normal and it never mooed or winked at you while you were eating it.
I have to laugh though at all this crap about "Italian made leather" or "cotton from Egypt" on the shopping channel. People nowadays seem to be so fixated on "Italian" this or some "hoo-haw" that but what difference does it make? Who the hell cares if its "Italian Made Leather" what is so great about Italian leather...do their cows have softer Hyde's then ours?
We're so obsessed with imported goods and all things exotic and Italian or down right weird that we can't seem to accept what is normal anymore. Fruit with eyeballs and hair have become a common sight and is now found at your local food store! Why should any of us be interested in exotic imports of any kind...if we're so interested in that, why don't we just take a look in the mirror since our ancestors were imports too from far away lands who didn't want them anymore! I'm a fine Canadian made from Irish Imports...there now I'm no less (or more) important than Italy's over-salted pork!
Are our lives that boring that we have to find some strange animal and eat it just to see if it possessed some poison venom and death is surly assured in no time? What is so wrong in just living?? Find some joy in simple life, lay down on the cool grass and feel your lungs go up and down when breathing, listen to the birds sing...since that is reality and that is life. NOT all this crap that's "imported" or art-galleries full of people looking down their noses at you. All of that shall and will pass when human life and normal everyday family, the common Joe won't. Its enduring and I wouldn't trade it for the world!
