Lost in the Really Real World...

I remember a line from the movie "The Crow" where this guy has been duct taped into his car and is being lined with Grenades by a guy he killed who has now come back for Vengeance and as he realizing he is going to die he starts saying over and over "this doesn't happen in the really real world man, this doesn't happen in the really real world." So today's topic will be the reality of certain things we like to think don't happen in the "really real world".

Majority of people lie... they will say whatever it takes to avoid confrontation with their friends, I think Amercian Idol is a great example. How many of those people walk in front of the judges and say "my friends/family said I am great and that I will be a super start someday" Now I know love is blind but its not deaf, now I personally appreciate the people who lie because without them there would be no real reason to watch American Idol until the last five minutes of the very last episode and that's just so your not out of the loop at the water cooler the next day. So understand real friends don't lie so if someone tells you you suck in the most loving way they could you just found a true friend, cherish their honesty.

Work sucks... in the "really real world" nobody wants to work, you may enjoy your job but work will always be the bane of our existence, you could have the greatest job in the world but tomorrow if someone said you never have to go to work ever again ninety percent of us would walk out the door and never look back. Ands that the truth!

Just because you learned it on Public Broadcast Television does not make it true... I have heard people quote their local PBS stations as points of reference for historical accuracy only to find out later they were quoting a British Comedy or some documentary from 1972 that is no longer relevant, why is it that just because it is presented in a "public" format we accept it as truth.

And finally in the really real world you are responsible for your actions... Just because someone says something to you doesn't mean you have to let effect your decisions... in the really real world we place so much blame on other people, so and so made me feel this way, made me do this or that, but ultimately we made the decision shouldn't we be held responsible for it.

So just remember the next time you're duct tapped into your 70's model Thunderbird by a guy you thought you killed please understand that its your fault and try not to blame your parents for making you watching to much PBS and ruining your chances at functioning in normal society.
