Why are people so lame?

Hello Stephen,

How are you tonight?  I hope you're working hard on that new album, it'll be so much fun for everybody when it's finally heard...a wonderful gift from you, to be sure.  You make everybody warm and fuzzy inside just by teasing us with this new album of yours, you know that, right?!  Maybe that's why you do it.  You like it when you're surrounded by warm and fuzzy people, don'tcha?!  I can't say I blame ya there, especially when you have to deal with hard and crusty curmudgeons all the time in daily life.  Kinda nice to have a warm fuzzy feeling about something exciting on the horizon.

Today on Facebook, there was a blurb about "The lyrical MISTAKE in "Don't Stop Believin'," and "did anybody ever catch it?"

I read that sentence, then I stopped right there, and blinked a few times.  Seriously???

That song is what, nearly THIRTY YEARS OLD???  Why wouldn't anybody "catch" something that is THIRTY YEARS OLD?!  It's like the lamest of lame, the most stupid ass thing I've ever read on Facebook *(and believe me, that's saying a lot)* and quite frankly, I was rather annoyed by it.

I mean, come on, REALLY???  And hey, as you well know, I am from Michigan, so I knew when I was a KID that there IS no "South Detroit."  But, WTF is the deal??  Doesn't anyone bother to look at a map anymore?  YOU knew there was no "South Detroit" when you WROTE the damned song, and I gotta tell ya, I really admire the way you so tactfully explained the syntax and stuff, compared to "east" "north" and "west."  Very nice, you get a gold star for that.

If it had been ME, I would not have been so tactful.  I would have been sarcastic as HELL and said, "Well, ya know what?  Super-cali-fragile-istic-espiali-docious isn't a friggin' WORD either, but you don't hear anybody throwing a conniption fit about THAT, now do ya? So kindly have a big cup of shut the fuck up."

But hey, that's just me.  I cut through the crap, and say it like it is.  Life is too short for unnecessary shit.

Ah well, if they are fishing for something to write about in the music industry, that has to be the lamest thing they ever came up with, if you ask me.  Nobody is really paying attention anymore to stuff like that----do they NOT realize the world is in a handbasket, and slowly making its way to HELL??!  And you KNOW that stupid shit came from a lame-ass 20-something, who doesn't know JACK SQUAT about Journey, and probably just heard "Don't Stop Believin'" for the very first time in their entire life.

GRRRR.  I'm gonna be one of those cranky old ladies that yells "GET OFF MY LAWN!" all the time, I just know it.  So MUCH to look forward to in my old age.  (Yeah, I know, you're jealous).

I guess I just have a very low (or non-existent) tolerance for STUPIDITY.  Kinda makes life hard sometimes, but that's the truth of the matter.  Can't help it, that's just the way I am.  Stupidity should HURT, then nobody would want to DO IT anymore....well....wait a minute....I should retract that statement....there are SOME people out there...myself included...who might need a little pain to go with the pleasure sometimes.  So maybe I WOULD be a bit stupid on occasion.  Every once in awhile, but rarely.  Okay, okay, DAMMIT, we both know I'd be a dim-witted stupid-all-the-time blonde.  Shaddap. At least I'm honest about it, sheesh, gimme some credit for THAT will ya???

Alright Stephen, I'm gonna go for now.  I hope you are having a great week so far.

Love you lots...

Rebecca
