Living In a Scripted Reality

"Yea, Let me get a number 5, ...with a large belly, overstuffed with drama." America lives their life zeroed in on the happenings of fictitious characters; Studying every infinitesimal detail. Doing their best to lose themselves in the scripted world of prime time T.V "Who did she cheat on Johnny with? I don't think Rebecca is really dead." Everyone is losing their head over fake reality stars, and what's going on in their beds. Fueled by dollar menu burritos, and mainline injections of double espresso frappacinos. It's just gas poured onto the flame, This society is stuck on DEAD SLOW mode. Couch potatoes only move fast to write down pick 5 lottery numbers; Praying they get the break ...they never earned. Get quick rich schemes, and lose 30 lbs in 10 minutes a day lies. People think they can lose weight by ordering "fresca" tacos at the bell. Fast food is fattening. Get it through your thick American skull. This country is beautiful, We just need to cut through the bull. And no, and red one won't give you wings. We're all lost in an immense haze of super size commercialism; STEP AWAY FROM THE T.V STEP AWAY FROM THE T.V!! STEP AWAY FROM THE T.V! And think, for yourself... -James Kelley 2010© Read more: http://www.myspace.com/jamesk_87/blog#ixzz11fhI3vGU
