PTA

I am totally apathetic to entertainment. Your CDs, movies and television can kiss it, if you know what I mean and I think you do. I am bored by everything in my DVD collection, everything in my iPod, and everything on TV. There is nothing new at all. I think it's because we have too many choices. I miss the days when my CD collection consisted of a John Mayer, some 70s soft rock, and Dashboard Confessional. It was easy to pick what was going in my CD player - it just depended on what kind of mood I was in. Now, I have at least ten different choices for whatever mood I'm in, so it ends up taking way too long for me to make a decision, and I just get pissed off, and the moment of having to pick a CD becomes an experience to be dreaded. The same goes for movies. I could watch the Godfather. Or I could watch the Godfather Part II. I could watch the Original Star Wars Trilogy, or I could watch the Prequel Trilogy. I am bored with all of it. Yes, I said I was bored with Star Wars. Get your tar and feathers now. I feel a little like I have Kurt Vonnegut's Post-Timequake Apathy (PTA). I should start saying Kilgore Trout's mantra over and over. "I was sick, but now I'm well, and there's work to be done..."
