You gotta gipper, ya gotta guypipper, you gotta change Grandma's diaper... And then pretend that you didn't mi- i - i -nd... Oooooh, ya gotta help out your Grandma...

But anyway, people often wear 'social masks' whether they acknowledge this or not. Kinda like "Dancing like nobodies watching". Most people only dance when they are alone.

There's nothing wrong with a social mask, but there's really nothing right about it either. Somehow it gets lost in the definition of 'civilized' and 'uncouthe'. People begin playing out their parts behind their social masks and then judge others who are playing their part as well to keep some illusionary sense of 'reality' or 'keeping it real'.

And here's the problem. Most often American see the other side of the world from their glass tubes, as a poor, backwards, and behind the times world, and America is a shining castle of magic, luxury, and splendor. Kinda like Shumi Village and Esthar in FFVIII.


In this day and age, when children are raised up on 'glamour dolls', Bratz, Spinners and Rims, over-priced clothes, ect, just to perpetrate a social status... They have no idea, that they are falling into the illusion and thus themselves judge others unfortunate than us.

Look at reality TV shows, or shows like the O.C. The average American does not live the life of the characters but what is it that makes this show so popular? I don't know. And music videos are nothing more than 2-5 minute advertisments for products that no one really needs except to decorate their social mask even further.

I gotta take a break, more later...
