Where is the love
Where is the love, where is the love that everyone is talking of. Oh wait, I have a joke. Why don't you bathe with Pokemon? Because they'll look at you. Hahahahaha. I was listening to the radio back in accounting just now and my favorite song of all time came over the magic airwaves into the magic radio.
This pain is just too real
I need to eat a meal
Quizno's a better deal
I have a pet eel
I held your face through all of these years
At night I wiped away all of your ears
My watch has like infinity gears
At night I drank all of your beers
You held my deers through all of these Sears
I love that song. It's so meaningful and so rhyming. Actually so much music these days is of a quality that hasn't been seen in music since the early 2000's. And by quality, I mean sucky quality. If you want to hear some good music, you should only listen to Smooth Jazz in the Morning. Listening to popular music is akin to watching Friends reruns. You keep seeing the same jokes come up, the same behavior nuances and the same situations. Watching Friends reruns is akin to eating chain restuarant food. No matter where you go, it tastes the same. The problem with most products that are marketed nationwide, be it media or food or almost anything is that they can't be too much of any one thing. That would ruin the mass appeal and thus bring about a loss to the precious shareholders. That's why fast food isn't too spicy, even if they market it as spicy. That's why sitcoms aren't too weird, even if they are about crazy people. And so on and so on. It all has to be everything to everybody. Videogames are getting that way too as they see more and more investors jump on board. Actually that last statement is just a guess. But it could happen. What happened to making something because you are absolutely passionate about making it? I'll tell you what happened. In the latter half of the past century, people started getting the idea that it wasn't good enough just to be comfortably rich. People started getting incredibly greedy. That trend continues today, which is why there are multibillion mergers between 2 hugely profitable companies. What's the point about making another 10 million dollars during a fiscal year? People are greedy, that's the point.

I'm going to put this blog on my fridge because it is precisely right, especially the lyrics.
I would like to add that houses are also this way, even if you build it yourself. It still looks like everyone elses.
