Public Enemy Number One

The truth behind why I am up this late, is that I was watching YouTube videos with friends. And of course we had to watch Rebecca Blacks Friday. Which means that terrible song was stuck in my head by the time I meandered to bed. And I knew if I were to wake up singing such a song, it would set a horrible tone for the horrible day approaching, so I decided to replace it with metal to sing to. Have you noticed how far YouTube has gone down the hole? I feel like back in the day, the most viewed videos were Charlie Bit My Finger and other hilarious videos, and they were so easy to find! Now you have to wade through ten shades of garbage to find something worth watching. So many knock off videos, and attempts at copying that it makes my life a literal hell. I hope that in the future, I wont have these problems. I will just think of the video I want to view and it will come up on my projector screen. No more walking around looking for the clicker, no more trying to remember the exact title of things, its effortless. Just the way my life should be. Instead, if I want to find an interview with someone, I have to wallow through interviews with people I truly don't care about. I think I'm the real problem in today's society.  I want everything at my fingertips, and I want it right now. I am constantly coming up with weird schemes to get by doing as little as possible. Cheating, lying, stealing, hiding at work, snoozing my alarm clock, avoiding class cause I forgot to do my homework, cooking things in my microwave that weren't designed for such a thing, looking at my phone to avoid conversations with people, wearing headphones to avoid new people, the list goes on, and on. Truth is, if I could get by and not have to do anything, I would. I would honestly spend my days in the woods cutting down trees and living off the land. The problem is, I suck at hunting, and I would probably get cold. But, if I got my check for doing nothing quarterly, I could buy an electric blanket... See how I worked out my problem with doing nothing? It's foolproof. I feel like the movie Wall E was pretty spot on in the way our society is headed. Living our lives through other people, and machines are doing everything for us. Part of me likes that, the other part hates it. I would like a machine to take care of things I don't want to do. I would never have to break up with girlfriends (or lack thereof) again, I wouldn't have to hit on girls, or ask them for their number, I wouldn't have to dress myself, I wouldn't have to write hate mail to Canadian celebrities, I wouldn't have to decorate my house at Christmas time, I wouldn't have to cook, I wouldn't have to tell my friends that they are being jackasses, and all these things I would be 100% okay with. There are a few things I would miss though, growing my own beard, cutting firewood, moshing at a metal concert, cheer on John Cena at Wrestlemania, watching Mick Foley matches with my best friend, taking walks to think about why my life is in shambles, having big fires, egging people that I hates car, impersonating actors, putting on new socks, and watching people fall down are just a few. If all were to go well, we would just have the machines work for the things we don't want to. It's probably alot like having a slave or a sweat shop. You make the one time purchase of the machine, and it's yours forever. To do all the things you don't want to, while you drink minty drinks on the porch of your house. I just see too many people abusing it, is the problem. You know some jackass is going to get a hold of this machine and decide he wants to rule all the machines. And King Jake is going to have to come up with a solution. It's just alot more trouble than it is worth. In my opinion, i think we should rewind it back a few years, and live like that again. You barter with food, you grow your own dinner, and everyone is self sufficient and happy. Just an idea. They seemed to be alot happier. They would complain about how the plow is broken or the horse is dead. Not, I cant find this damn YouTube video!
