I have not really updated my blog in quite some time, so I am now. Tonight I joined a myspace group called eggplant made by my friend Derek after actually going to myspace for the first time in about a hundred years. I don’t really like eggplant, but I decided to join so I could make a post on the group. Because I am lazy and would like to seize every opportunity to update my blog with as little effort as possible, I have decided to copy and paste my slightly eggplant-related rant about nothing on here.
That’s right, I really don’t like eggplant that much. Why did I join this group, you ask? Because it is whacky, and eggplant is an underrepresented vegetable. Just because I don’t like it doesn’t mean other people shouldn’t take a closer look at our purple friend. The reason I joined this group is to fight for open-mindedness. Everybody should eat eggplant and make their own educated decision on eggplant, not decisions made by other people. It sickes me when so many people say things like “ooh, that movie is no good” then saying they haven’t seen it when you’ve asked them if they have. The same thing can be applied to eggplant. “I don’t really like eggplant,” people say. Well I say have you tried it!? I have, and have found it somewhat unenjoyable, but at least I’ve had it. I mean… come on, think for yourselves, people. When I had eggplant once I ate a whole tub of it, and it was a very unpleasant experience. Now I’m not saying people should eat a whole tub of eggplant, but they should at least eat a eggplant-based dish (I would recommend eggplant parmesean or something) and make their own autonomous decisions based on how *they* feel about eggplant, not what other people or the media tells them. The media should get their noses out of other peoples’ business, too. When the media says “This movie is bad” or “This band sucks” or something similar people are going to be less predisposed to listening to them, even thinking that they are bad because of what they’ve heard before, even though they’re not really making a careful analysis of what they are seeing or listening to… or eating. If our culture weren’t so media-based, we’d all be very much more unique individuals, but nooooooo… it’s all a big plot for corporations to make a bunch of money they don’t even need. I’m tired of it! Fight for you rights! What I’m trying to say, people, is that we need to go burn some shit down!!!!

I am so cool for starting that group
