This week’s UCB finds the magnanimous John Mauriello back into the limelight. He suggested I write about my thoughts on mankind as a whole. Now we all know I have plenty to say on this topic and have already said plenty about it. Before I get into that I want to take a minute to remind everyone that the bonus “Top Ten UCB” for August is up for suggestions. If you have forgotten what I am talking about all you need to do is suggest 10 one word or short topics and I will address all in one fun blog. It’s worth double points and everyone gets one set of suggestions. Read You’re a Fucking Idiot But So am I blog for more details.
Mankind baffles me. I just don’t understand humans in general. Up until recently I had always believed I was above them. I have always felt at the very least an outsider looking in. I know I am insane, but its people as a unit that really scare me. We are all fucking nuts.
I don’t have the answers, but I think I have figured out how to eek out an existence that I am pleased with. I watch people everyday walking through life like zombies. I see others who are completely miserable. Why do we always want more? These days I find myself wanting less and constantly getting more.
Humans seem to be in a constant struggle speaking their mind. Everyone puts on a façade. It’s those false pretenses that fuck everything up. Shoots I lived a lie for nearly eight years. I don’t know what it is I’m living now, but whatever it is, it’s the most honest thing I can remember.
For all of the advancements we have made technologically, we have taken ten steps back socially. Human communication is at an all time low. Everything is good as long as you hit the “like” button on your friend’s dumb ass face book status. I have an idea, call your friend instead and see how him or her is doing.
I am just as guilty, but at least I can admit that out of the 284 friends I have on Face Book I may actually know half of them, and out of that half am lucky if I actually talk to twenty regularly. It’s much easier to hit that like button.
See that is what I am talking about. Our society has had a social break down. Then we wonder why no one can keep a relationship together anymore. There is no like button in Real life. Two people actually have to communicate with one another.
I have a few select people in my life right now whom I feel very deep love for and I know they are better then the rest, most better then me. I try these days to only surround myself with people of quality. In the human race there is more static then picture. You choose what you wish to portray.

I know I was thinking that same very thing, Fuck man I am going to be in NJ on Saturday and I am bringing my horn so If your playing any shows I want to sit in with your ass. By the way if you subscribe to my blog you can get email updates when I write new stuff and I will get a higher rating as a wordpress.com blogger.
I am so happy everyone is getting there lists of 10 in, going to write this on Friday. So if you have not gotten your list in send it soon.
YO.. just call me… ill be around saturday actually with a camera – guitar – a bike – and a drunken head – filming and playing everywhere.. YOU ARE IN.
Anyways..
I disagree with you on the whole facebook thing. I think its a great communication tool… The fact that I can sit here at work, and communicate with 8758943 people is badass… But, you just have to use it right… use the facebook to make actual interaction happen…
Being a musician, I also see all the show promotion happening here.. which brings people out… you can know about so much… I think its a badass tool, and of course you have your idiots all over that use it like tards.. but fuck those people anyways…
UCB.
