A mirrow reflection.

[ndetroit]

Well, you're all cool for being all enlightened and shit, but...

----
Why must you have a bigger tv?
...a bigger house?
...a faster car?
...whiter teeth?
...smoother hair?
...bigger sound system?
...newer shoes?
----


-I want a bigger tv because I like to watch movies, and the larger image (and generally better image quality) afforded by a widescreen television enhances my viewing pleasure. A lot.

-I want a bigger house to put my TV in. To move about in. To chase my cats around in. To entertain people in. To have a place to put guests when they arrive in town and need a place to crash.

-I want a faster car to get the places that I want to go .. FASTER. I'd rather take 1 hour to get the mountain, and ski an extra hour, than take 2 hours to get there. ... safety concerns aside.

-I want whiter teeth because yellowed teeth are generally a sign of tooth decay, which is in turn indicative of gum disease. We are genetically predisposed to choose mates that we believe to be strong and healthy. I enjoy being a part of that whole "mating" thing.

-smoother hair: dunno dude.. you've lost me.

-bigger sound system: see: TV.

-newer shoes: Because when I play ball in my current shoes, the soles tend to slip on the court, because they are worn through. When I can't cut as fast as I want, or post up properly, it diminishes my enjoyment of the game..


I dunno man. There's a lot to be said for consumerism. I'm glad you're enlightened, but... I enjoy my consumerist lifestyle.


oh well.
