No One Cares

The Academy awards are an institution that no one cares about anymore. At one point it was something that was fun to watch, see which movie you loved so much during the past year had become the one that would win. People were excited to find out how well they fared in the Academy process. However, as the years have gone by people have become more and more aware that the Academy is stupid. No one cares what movies are being selected because no one has seen them. They come out in the last ten minutes of the year when people already have better things on their mind than watching a movie. The Oscars have become a festival of self-gratification. It's like turning on the TV to see a really great meeting at the Elk Lodge, why would I do that. Actually that may be more fun than the Oscars. To watch the Oscars is essentially to watch a bunch over horribly overpaid Hollywood "elites" getting to play dress-up and applaud each other for how great they look and for how well they are doing. The Oscars are a Richard Simmons work-out video where everyone is rich and beautiful, save for Peter Jackson and Michael Moore.
The thing is that the entire event is based on the fact that people in Hollywood really enjoy the fact that they make movies. Whats more is they really like watching their friends in movies too, then they get to party party party all night and slap each other on the back for being so good at being in a movie. "Did you see the movie I was in?", "Oh yes, it was good here you go have a statue!"In light of this realization no one watches the Oscars anymore. We wait until the next day to find out who won. Can you imagine people forgoing the Superbowl for the same reason. It's because the Superbowl is fun to watch and people are invested in it. No one even talks about the Oscars anymore. People used to love the movies. We talked about these great movies that were coming out and how they said or did something interesting. Hollywood thinks they have people figured out, so they make a movie, we don't care about it, and then they say "Hollywood is dying, maybe this new movie like the last one will save us!"
Hollywood is stupid. However, if I was offered the same money they are to do what they are doing I would take it and laugh at anyone who mocked me because I would be rich, and they (like me) would be poor. That's all I have to say about that.

From the ashes emerges a butterfly

I'm pretty sure I messed up on the title, either its a cacoon and a phoenix or something. Any way here I am again typing on a thing that I haven't used in a while. There have been a number of changes to the Crozier family in that time. 1. Rebecca is not in the Army any more and 15. we now have a baby, his name is Jacques, or something. I will not list the other 13 changes, even though they are significant I dont feel like it. In other news I stopped writing that story I was doing. Mostly due to a lack of time. I still have a little note book of thoughts in which I pen concepts that may wander into the written page, but as yet this has not occurred. My sister made me look at her Blog again this past night after not having looked at such a thing in months and I decided I should send out my own blog in response. Not in response exactly, since I am not addressing anything that happens in her blog, but more just because. So its not a response at all. Hmm. I find the philosophy of we(blog)s to be fascinating. For whatever reason I find it fascinating that people think that what we have to say is so important that other people would want to read it. I have nothing important to say, and I take a long time to say it. So I will never be a very popular blogger, because people dont want to take fifteen minutes to read about my shoesize or whatever else it is that I happen to write about. On the brightside this gives me the opportunity to write something someplace, something I should probably do more often. It also provides me the opportunity to look at what I wrote in the past and roll my eyes at the nonsense that I thought passed for original thought. Well, at any rate here I am writing myself into the annuls of internet obscurity for the world to look at. When I run for public office this is going to be a real thorn in my side. However by that point if you dont have a we(blog) people wont even know what you stand for, not that people care now. Forward march.
