So I didn't think I was going to do this tonight because it's getting kind of late but then I remember I'm pretty much a night owl and decided why not just give this a shot. So here I am again ready to titillate you all and I just know that you are all on the edge of your seats waiting to hear what I have to say.
So there has been this question that has been running around in the back of my mind for some time now. You know when an idea or a thought is just right there in the back of your head but you just can't seem to grasp it nor can you seem to let it go. Well this is me grasping at it right now, because god knows I can never really let anything go. So listen closely because here it is..... "Do we fit the times we are born into?"
Now more importantly I have been thinking to myself "do I fit the times I was born into?" It's just been circling around in the back of my head and now finally I have to get rid of this notion. You see I went to the doctor this week. You're probably thinking big fucking deal I go to the doctor twice a year for a check up what makes you so special? Now to answer that question I would have to say everything, but I think that is something for another day. I only tell you this information about the doctor to illustrate my point.
So, I go to get a check up and get blood work done because my mom has been on my ass for the last six months about it, and something kind of major is going on with me right now, so she just insist that I go and get this check up to make sure everything is okay, because my family has this wonderful and rich history of dying young, which of course is great and I'm really looking forward to all of that but that's not really the point. The point whatever it is... Oh yeah well the point is I go to the doctor get all these test taken and then after it's over they had me this card with a number on it and say three days from now call up here and give this number and our automated system will give you the results of your tests.
What the Fuck!!!! I mean really are we that removed from each other already that I have to call my doctor and a robot is going to tell me that I have cancer, or that I might die of heart failure at some point. So a robot gets to ruin my day??? Is this the type of society we are headed for?? I mean geez a real actual flesh and blood human being I guess doesn't have to time anymore to ruin people's day so now they just leave it to a robot.
And this is all the point that I'm trying to make. I don't know if I fit this time. It is something that I have constantly thought of over pretty much all of my life even before I realized I was thinking about it. But when I think about it I'm not really sure what time I do fit in. I mean I say I don't fit in in this time, but fuck I doubt I would want to fit in back in the days of slavery, fuck that. But the crazy thing is there probably are some slave owners back in the day that would say that I fit in like a gem. An easy going fairly large black man like myself would have been put to all kinds of work I'm sure. But in all seriousness that would really suck.
Sorry I got off on a little bit of a tangent right there and I have no idea where I was going with it. But I do know that this culture that we are living in where it's all about bottom lines and fast pace and how can I make this product faster, cheaper, and more accessible to all these mindless tools that only care about electronics is fucking terrifying.
I really don't know where I was going with all of this but I did have this thought and I wanted to get it out so there you have it. Me talking about my usual nothing.
