does this matter?

I fall asleep with the television on and wake up to late night drivel. Ann Curry is on a late night show with Jimmy Fallon. She got stuck in an elevator for an hour and the entire little group in the elevator were twittering that the were stuck in an elevator. And she mentioned that she spoke at Wheaton College, only she had looked up the wrong Wheaton College and cited numerous non-graduates as graduates.

So I Google Ann Curry and find she is a reporter for some cotton-candy daytime show. Let me get tis straight--she is a reporter who makes millions to do a luxurious job and lives the life of wealth and extravagance and that is important, so she is paid more money to go on a night time show to tell stories about how she googles drunk, looks up the wrong college, and can't even address a college graduation coherently the next day...

Does any of this matter? In one way, no. In another way, it just highlights that individuals are no different than BP. Ann Curry is one lucky bitch--she gets awards and millions of dollars to DO A JOB and so that makes her famous, so she gets more money and can stay drunk as much as she wants and can piss all over an entire graduating college class. Aren't we so honored to have her earn more money on late night TV displaying her greed and avarice and callousness toward humanity in front of our eyes on late night television.

This only matters in the fact that all we have to do is turn on our televisions, look around ourselves, to see self-obsession and greed being displayed by giant oil companies and self-involved reporters, both with no other goal than gain a few of your hard-earned dollars, to detract from your wealth, only to fill their own material needs.

Is there any other goal in life than to somehow, anyway possible, to take other people's dollars? I truly wonder. Do humans have any other goal than exploiting other humans? Oh, right, exploiting the planet...

I climb out of bed and turn the TV off.
