big soupy mess
The wheels of capitalism continue to spin as more and more unnecessary shit is created for our consumption. I saw a blanket for sale on television, the snuggie, for 19.95. Order now and you can receive 2 for the price of one. This of course follows the regular dieting report on the news where we learn that we have to move and eat in order to lose weight. The thing is, when we begin to rely on television to tell us how to live, we lose our way. Once we lose our individuality we begin to see the world from the perspective of other people we don't even know and have never met. It is almost as if we dress ourselves in plasic wrap so we can sell ourselves in much the same way as those snuggie's. We do this freely as a result of being here in it; the big soupy mess.
