deluxe

I was downloading music today and instead of getting the album that I wanted, I clicked on the one that said "deluxe edition," which I later found was the album I already had. I completely misses where it said the album title, i was too focused on the "deluxe" part of it, and I wonder, why has society ruined us so? We can't just go with the minimal, everybody has to have the best of the best, just for the sake of status. I thought I was leaving most of the obsession with status behind when I left Santiago, but, its everywhere! The world is obsessed with status, obsessed with who's got the most money, and who's got the best job. All too often people forget simplicity, families push their kids into every different sport so they can be the next big star, and then never get any quality time with eachother because the parents are too bust carting the kids around to practices and games and the kids are way too busy trying to become the next big star, when really, some kids just aren't made for that. But its okay, their parents never know, nor do some of them care, if they stay in it long enough, they'll win the heisman trophy, or go to the olympics, or maybe even both. And then, the family will have tons of money to buy Mercedes' and Cadillacs and to live in mansions with maids and sexy pool boys.




wow.
