I saw a headline in the
newspaper that said three flautists had recently performed at the local
library. I am enraged and disgusted by this.
To have an event where people
show up and flaunt their accomplishments is just plain wrong. There are too many people, with too big of
egos, touting their accomplishments everywhere you look. To hold an event that encourages this is a
sad, sad, commentary on our society.
And you hold this at a
library? People go to a library to read
or study in quiet, not to be interrupted by some blowhards bloviating about
their skills and awards. To make it even
worse, a photograph accompanying the article shows one of the flautists actually
playing a flute. Okay, so the guy must
be flaunting his music ability before he tells everyone just how great he
is. But to disturb the serenity of the
library by literally tooting your own flute is
disgusting. Why don’t you spend your time trying to give something
back to the community instead of yack, yack, yacking about how great you are? Okay, I get it. You are a great flute player, but please show
some humility.
C'mon man, quit flauting it! |
This boastful arrogance is
way out of control. Witness the
outrageous rant by the Seattle Seahawk jerk after they won the NFC
championship. Hey buddy, you won the game.
You are supposed to be happy, not fizzed off. And there is no need to tell us how good you
are. We watched the game, we saw the
play. This rant made him look like a
moron, but the worst thing about it is that he upset Erin Andrews. My strong belief is that no one should ever
upset Erin Andrews. If I was ever near
Erin Andrews, I would never, ever, upset her, unless of course, I asked her out
on a date. Then she might get upset that
I was bothering her. But even if she got
upset, she would not be nearly as upset as my wife would be, but I digress.
This egomania has saturated
our politicians also. We have a
President who is very self-absorbed and can’t speak a sentence without
including the words “I” “me” or “my”. He even thinks I care about his college
basketball tournament picks every year.
Hey Prez, instead of trying to pick a bracket winner, how about picking
a winning plan that will get people back to work?
We also have some governors
who think they can push people around because they are larger than life. Okay so maybe the guy is slightly larger than
life, but that doesn’t mean his ego has to be just as fat. But with that combination, never, ever, cut
in front of him at the buffet. It might
be the last thing you ever do.
But probably the biggest
bloviators are those pompous whack jobs who write “personal” blogs. They go on and on about the most mundane and
insipid things. Then they post it proudly on the worldwide web thinking that
their musings with generate significant global interest. Guess what blogheads?
The people in Bangladesh have better things to do with their iPads. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah! Whether it is what type of underwear they
like, or if they buy a new pair of sunglasses, or worse yet, if some petty thing
upsets them. Yes, they are the most
egregious egotists of all. Don’t you think?
