The tragedy of today’s tabloid media most specifically being its trivial version of so called factual information has finally become clear to me. It has taught my mother to lie. Not just the a little fib but full blown in your face life changing stories just to teach me a life lessons and to keep me from doing anything remotely enjoyable. I cannot simply believe the vast amounts of mothers of drug victims, violent abuse, car accidents and teenage pregnancies that she has met.
The stories are rich and well crafted. They involve individuals apparently met in my infant years a convenient period where my memory is lacking. For some odd reasons these transfers of great knowledge occur with chance encounters at supermarkets and shopping centres places I would not dare be seen with my mother. The whole thing just feels like a real life version of today tonight. The dark and ominous music is stuck on repeat and the smudged lens guilting me into changing my life.
It is at this point my mother’s greatest flaw is realised. You have to be of rather low intelligence to believe a word of the rubbish fed by current affairs shows. It’s the kind of viewing that only can appeal to the common house wife (or as required in modern times, house man) just dreaming for that exciting escape of mischief and disaster within their domestic boundaries to once again feel the thrill of life outside of the home and away from the clutches of slobbering children. It is that finger grip that holds off insanity. So in this sense my mother has chosen an audience of herself because I can promise you nobody else is listening.

Nice, I was seriously terrified this would end up with me and Ben stuck in a virtual room of awkardness...
A fantastic straightforward oedipal blog post is always welcome... hehe, timing was good too, this morning I got the 'pot screwed over this guy, it'll mess you too without constant vigilance'... yeah mum, I'm kind of already borderline schizophrenic and delusional, I don't need augmented creativity.
I criticise because I love, but something like this where you try to be more conversational tends to engage more, I dunno, you just get more people mindlessly complimenting you that way for half the effort
Overall, very good, now you're trapped, if you don't post weekly, I'll be waiting on your lawn at night...
wait so your not already waiting on my lawn at night....i may have exposed myself to the wrong person
I agree with the guy in the stupid hat. This is a brilliant misplacement of your bloginity. Elegant, concise, witty and cutting. And I probably wouldn't be able to attack you if you never posted again... but I'd stand there booing, or send you excessive pokes on facebook or something so WATCH OUT!
Ha. HAHAHAHHA. I appreciate this.
