The One with Raining Pop Culture


I'm not quite sure why we are so attracted to pop culture. Why we dedicate a great deal of energy, time, money, everything in knowing these useless, trivial, ever-passing things? Why we focus so much on what Miley Cyrus? Brangelina (ugh, I hate Angelina)? JENANISTON! I see many of my peers, myself included, religiously concern themselves with celebrity gossip and whatnot? I don't understand. For what? Knowledge? Acceptance?

It was just a random thought. I decided to sit myself down until probably 3 am? to study for chem midterm so I don't cram everything the day before. I mean, I have a good hold of the milllions of equations, but I just have to familiarize myself with the tricks and ins and outs. While I study, I found myself on the Yahoo frontpage (TWICE) reading... society's downfall, celebrity gossip. Miley upsetting the Asian community? Oh, please, let her be. She has enough people hating her...or just jealous of her? I say the latter, admit it people, you hate her cause she has fame and money and everything you want.

It's been pouring here in LA. Like extreme shifts in climate. One second it is just clear, ten seconds later, super-intensified rain. I realized I did not bring an umbrella down here, so consequently, I got soaked each time I go out.

Sooner or Later (by N.E.R.D),
JPEEEZ.
