Isn’t it true that around 3,000 people here in the US die from influenza (the FLU) each year?  WAKE UP, PEOPLE!!  You’re being herded – driven – steered like sheep by “fear” of things like Swine Flu.  I’m not going to place full blame on the people, I also blame Anderson Cooper (…today, the role of The Media will be played by Anderson Cooper…)!  And no, it has nothing to do with OUT Magazine naming him one of the 50 most powerful/influential gay people EVEN THOUGH HE HAS NEVER COME OUT!  Instead, it has to do with the fact that 24-hour news stations seem to be devoting 23 hours a day to pig flu, and they continuously detail the ways each of us should be scared for our fucking lives because of it!

My hair didn’t seem to reach a good height today.  Shame.

Newspapers have begun dropping like flies (well, the print verisons, anyway).  Sure it’s sad, but it is also a natural step in our ever-expanding, globalized world where immediate informatoin is available by clicking a mouse.  Somehow reading yesterday’s headlines manually is continually falling out of fashion.  And all the while things like ‘iReport’ on CNN (…are you witnessing something tragic?  horrific?  unbelievable?  or downright hilarious?  then you TOO can be a reporter on CNN with iReport…) are growing in popularity.  RIP over-sized pages and ink-stained fingers.

Dude, I’m so anti-CNN today.
