Stuff I Don't Care About
I read a lot. Books, magazines, newspapers, websites -- you name it, I read it. And I read often, fast and I retain a lot of what I read. And most of it, I'm afraid to say, is a bunch of crap.
Theodore Sturgeon's famous law can be invoked here: "Ninety percent of everything is crud." Most of the time, people substitute different words at the end of the sentence, but he said
crud.
And I have to agree. Why, here's just a few things that I've read recently that registers on the Crud-O-Meter:
Ryan Seacrest is dating Teri Hatcher.
Matt Leblanc is getting a divorce.
Some guy made a life-sized statue of Britney Spears naked and giving birth on a bear-skin rug (on all fours, with rump raised high in the air). From what I've been told, it's anatomically correct. Which I have to say, is just plain yucky.
Kevin Garnett says that he wants the Minnesota Timberwolves to build a better basketball team so he can have the experience of playing with a championship team. I don't blame him, but I also don't really care.
Courtney Love is selling off parts of Cobain's music legacy. Dont know much about it, don't much care. But I read the article anyway.
Liza Minelli is back in the news, for whatever reason. I was so bored with her thirty years ago, and I suspect most people feel the same way.
Jessica Simpson has signed with a new record label.
Why do I read this stuff? There's a lot more that I didn't list here, but this is the crud I just picked at random.
I gotta get a hobby or something.
