I don't think it's coincidence at all that these billboards appear next to eachother. Another example of this "ritual blasphemy" would be the gigantic roadside cross built right next to an adult video store in Kentucky. Can't find any pictures of it but I've seen it many times while being driven back and forth from Michigan to Georgia.
The highways are just huge serpentine advertisements. It really sickens me how (almost) everyone who claims to be "anti-religion" is actually just a member of the Cult of Materialism. They are probably more religiously indoctrinated than any Christian you will find. Don't bother trying to get either of these people to give up their BS, it is pointless. They have to see for themselves and look within. Unless there is nothing inside anymore, they may eventually wake up...

I like the 5:55 post time... If you're wondering why I've been posting a little less lately, I've been working pretty hard on music (go here and click on "Sloth Broth" to hear my latest musical abortion, I didn't work very hard on that one but I've also been collaborating over the internet with someone in Atlanta so I have to focus on that) so I haven't had much time to explore the synchroverse. Today I was added to the Sync Whole roster, so I'm pretty happy about that.
Otherwise, I've been feeling like crap lately... I have anxiety problems and sometimes just being alive is painful. Every day kind of feels like an uphill battle for my sanity. I try hard not to bring my negativity here, but it's embedded deep within my being and sometimes it speaks without my permission. It's kind of strange feeling like I have something living inside me that I can't always control. Dealing with this thing almost feels like a step backward at times, I had almost reached a point where there was so much other stuff going on that I forgot it was there. It's probably not good to ignore it, though. This also has to do with my insomnia, I think it's screwed up that I found a cure (marijuana) but it's illegal and always seems to be just out of reach. Seriously, the stuff seems to cure all my ills...

Those billboards are truly mocking eachother. Paul Krassner once wrote on the topic of there being absolutely no satire in america anymore because things are simply too ridiculous and unbelievable to be made fun of without being taken seriously... I'd have to agree with that statement when looking at those billboards.. I mean, jeesh!
Well, she isn't thirsty for carrot juice, that's for sure.
The insomnia really is hard to fight, I agree... (Responding to this at 5:49 AM unable to get a moment of rest.) Marijuana definitely helps, but you're absolutely right, it's such a shame that what I consider to be "A cup of tea" is so damn illegal, especially since so many cultures had used it as a tool and medicine.
I think right now everyone is going through a state of negativity and depression. We kind of have to face our own shadows at this time, in my opinion.. It's a true bitch and It's hard to look at life in it's current situation... but to be able to just laugh at it all helps every once in a while. I mean, it's so absurd sometimes, isn't it?
I agree with your post, and just laughing at stuff is a little harder when someone who mocks you at every turn is taking up the position of the fool. In my case, it's my deranged sister... I can only seem to laugh and be happy when this person isn't around, or when I'm alone. I honestly think she is a vampire of sorts. Every day I wake up angry and drained and it's always because of her.
See, she has a car, I don't, and she tells me to get a job while all she does is invade my space and watch TV all day. She has caused me hell my whole life and I've moved out twice before, really just to get away from my "family" (they're not a family, they're just sadists who I happen to live with).
Sorry for the rant. Thanks for reading my blog.
Those ads are insane. Kinda like a metaphor for the big picture of our existence. Think this, think that, don't think this, don't think that. A system of binaries with no purpose but to confuse and detach us from the none material.
Than again I think of everything as a metaphor.
