Attention Whores.

There are some people I just do not understand. Maybe it's because I choose to immerse myself in an isolate world consisting of me and my kids. Or maybe it's because I am irritated by humans in general. But people who do ridiculous things for attention make me want to jump through the television and kick them in their forehead.
I actually envision it happening.
I'm serious.
Whether it be a certain reality tv family who has 18 kids and another way, or a certain blonde bimbo wearing a shirt that says "Real Girls Eat Meat", or that other reality show that subjects their eight kids to camera crews on a daily basis, so much so that the kids no longer notice. Or an octomom who has plastic surgery to make herself resemble Angelina Jolie, and denies she ever had any. Has 14 kids, gets on welfare, gets her own reality show in the works but bashes that other mother of eight for wanting "attention".
It makes someone shaving their head and hitting a car with an umbrella seem insignificant.
I don't understand why people can't just live their lives and be happy without the entire world watching them. Why would you want that sort of attention?
I'll never understand why a person would want cameras following them around everyday, waiting for them to eat at McDonalds so they can paste it on the front of the latest Inquirer magazine and claim the person is binging due to depression from a break up with another famous boyfriend, a relationship which never truly existed.
We're all insignificant. When we die, we may be remembered, but people will eventually forget. Or they will no longer care. Someone bigger and better will come along and Rob Pattinson will take the place of Ben Affleck, who took the place of Sean Connery and the worlds goes on in its endless cycles until one day the sun gets too close the earth and the worlds comes to a tragic end.
Can't we all just be happy with the life we were given instead of trying to create an image to better ourselves? I'm not one for self-deprecation, but I'm capable of living my life without being in the middle of drama.
Whatever happened to doing something good for humanity to make people remember you by?

Okay, so that was a bit of a rant. And I'm done now. Thanks for reading. :)
