We Can't Have Nice Things

I originally wanted to write about movies as part of my blog but I have not seen a movie in the theatres for months now. The movies showing were pretty boring but some movies look good right now. Anyway one of the worst things about watching popular movies is that many people are going to watch it too, thus increasing your chances of having an asshole in the theatre.

I try to sit down and quietly enjoy a movie but its the same thing over and over again. People just don't shut up. Morons in front pester me with their glowing cellphones. Why bother watching a movie if you're not going to pay attention. Then I realized, anything and everything good we have or could have is ruined by assholes. The simple pleasure of sitting down and enjoying Hollywood garbage is ruined by careless assholes to lazy to be considerate to others. These degenerates are everywhere. It's damn near impossible to enjoy yourself when some idiot can just walk in and mess it up for everyone.

I take a walk to the local grocery store and there's garbage everywhere. People just toss their food wrappers out jeepney windows and leave smelly drainage ditches on the side breeding mosquito larvae. Assholes ruin everything. I ride a jeepney and some smoker cancer case comes in and blows his damn cigarette smoke everywhere. Some guy told him it's against the law and he replies, "Make me." What a prick. Why bother with laws at all? Why bother with city ordinances when people can't even restrain themselves from pissing in public? Too stupid to look for a toilet? Why bother building public works like parks when assholes just come in to vandalize and litter all over the place? Why build security railings on the sidewalk when people just cut them to sell for scrap! Why build a pedestrian overpass when running across a busy and dangerous avenue saves two minutes are you fucking kidding me people?

Why bother? Why do anything worthwhile when assholes just ruin it? Even ideas are ruined by these people. Democracy? Don't make me choke. Look what we got here in the Philippines. Congress can't even pull itself together for one second without descending into petty feuds and grandstanding. Journalism? Sensationalist bullshit! Everyday it's the same front page full of meaningless and irrelevant drivel. Forget about real issues, we got the latest high profile robberies, murders, scandals and let's not forget, showbiz gossip. Socialism? Well the extortionist rebels hiding in the mountains squeezing the poor WORKER'S money for "revolutionary tax" while their leaders live in comfort abroad pretty much fucked that up too. Everything is ruined. No wonder people are so pessimistic. It's all fine and good until somebody forgets to lock the door and the assholes come in to steal your TV.

Isn't it cruel that to build a prosperous and healthy society, everyone needs to do their part yet it can all be ruined by just that one asshole?
