“Acting like life is a big commercial…” –Beastie Boys
It’s exactly what you think…
You have created a concept of me. What I am afraid of is the concept of yourself…
It might catch up to you but, you can still run with the devil…
“Yeah, yeah, ah, yeah
I live my life like there's no tomorrow
And all I've got, I had to steal
Least I don't need to beg or borrow
Yes I'm livin' at a pace that kills
Ooh, yeah
(Ahh)
Runnin' with the devil
(Ahh-hah, yeah)
(Woo-hoo-oo)
Runnin' with the devil
Yes I'm, yeah, hoo
Ooh, you know I
I found the simple life ain't so simple
When I jumped out, on that road
I got no love, no love you'd call real
Ain't got nobody, waitin' at home
Runnin' with the devil
(Hold on, hold on I'm runnin' ah yeah)
Runnin' with the devil
(Ooh ooh, one more time)
Runnin' with the devil
(Oh, yeah, ya-yeah)
Runnin' with the devil
(Woo, woo)
Runnin' with the devil
(I'll tell…”
-Van Halen
We are commercials. We market ourselves every day. We are products to impress others through social media, job boards, resumes and, human interaction. You have to prove yourself to everyone all day long to be worthy of human interaction. Once you do sell 'yourself' you must advertise to keep that status. Seems like even my own family. The smallest quirk out of an extreme norm is considered wrong. As we sell ourselves a black, gay, transgender, white, Asian, Latin and, identifying with what the fuck day it is. I’m wondering if you are judging and examining why Asian and Latin are capitalized…well that’s what Microsoft said to do. Why it didn’t capitalize ‘black’ is because ‘Black’ people are Africans. And, we all choose someone to side with or blame; even though it’s just a game.
I gave up.
