B.S.M
Hi everyone...so once again, it's been months since I've written anything. I really did start off the last post with a goal of writing every week...and I meant to keep it. Clearly, I didn't make it! So no such promises this time...but I will try to write more often...how's that for non-committal...
So the topic of this post is the BSM...BS Machine...
We see it all around...on the news, at work, in conversation with friends, acquantiances and enemies alike. Many of us are good at using it, and indeed it does come in useful...a good joke, or a little spice to a conversation ever so bland...we Indians call it "time pass"...
Sadly though, the BSM is usually used for the powers of no good...car dealers, real estate agents, politicians, holier than thou radio personalities, engineers, lawyers, the guy on the radio who tells you that you can make millions from home...okay, so maybe the guy on the radio doesn't really use the BSM...kidding...of course he doesn't, but us engineers never use it for anything but forces of pure goodness!
Okay, okay...seriously though, it's amazing how the truth is manipulated, distorted, twisted, and used to convince you, me, and the guy next door to buy a TV, house, car, and a war...nah...that can't be true, no one would use the BSM to justify a means to an end...nah...never happens.
I suppose that the BSM is just a part of life, we must all learn to use it...hopefully for good uses, and learn to understand when the powerful forces of the BSM are being directed towards us...put up your CSS (common sense shield...of course there's an acronym for everything!)...look the BSM right in the hole...the don't get shot in the face (cuz that'll smell bad!)...and let the forces of the BSM only be used for good...tell a joke, make someone crack up...start up a conversation that makes no sense when you have some extra tears to shed because you wanna laugh that hard...talk about something at the bar that you never have before, and never may again...get people thinking that there's more to life than just what they want to wrap their minds around...change someone's point of view, see a new one yourself...
