June 30th - ADD is Bullshit

Most people walk by and say that eight year old who's making a face has ADD. Remember how a few decades ago people said that meant they were bored or sad? I hate how everyone has jumped onto the idiotic without-a-purpose bandwagon that is ADD. Even more annoying is how the idiot moms of today think they should not only go out of their way to wave ADD and Aspergers around like it's a real deal and something to be proud of, but how they think all of a sudden they can go "OOP HE HAS ADD" like they're a fucking doctor. Last time I checked, five years of Girl Scouts and PTA bake sales does not qualify you to be a neurologist or anything remotely resembling a doctor. And this brings me to another point- how doctors seem to jump at parents and go "OH GET RITALIN OR ADDERALL XR DERP DERP DERRRR." To me, that's idiotic. It's even more idiotic how they came up with ADD in the mid-80s, had no proof for two-thirds of a decade, and then go "Oh yeah, it's brain chemicals!" It's just another thing a doctor does to make more money, and, plus, look at it this way: if people who were not as normal as the rest such as Einstein, Thomas Edison and Bach grew up today, imagine how it'd be.

"Oh, yes, Mr. Bach. I'm afraid that musical skill is not normal at all. I'll have to give you a prescription note for a month's supply of Ritalin. That should do away with his strange musical playing you claim."

So, in conclusion, ADD is bullshit. Now, how's about some Ritalin? Anyone? ANYONE?

21st Century Man= prophecy of Chris?

Yeah, it may sound stupid at first, but it's pretty weird. The ELO song, 21st Century Man, was written as a tribute to Jeff Lynne's close friend John Lennon, but a lot of the words fit Chris pretty well. For example, the beginning line Penny in your pcoket/ Suitcase in you hand/ They won't get you very far/ Now you're a 21st Century Man seems to describe how Chris is lazy and refuses to do actual work or save up his money instead of blowing it all, as shown by the suitcase and penny. The line about not getting very far with these things since the person is a "21st Century Man" describes how Chris believes he is talented and can get very far in life with his comic full of recolors. The next line Fly across the city/ Rise above the land is irony- Chris has only traveled out of Virginia twice, and it also shows how his ego makes it seem to him that he can be, in Lennon's words, "bigger than Jesus." The next part You can do most anything" is also irony- Chris is bad at a lot of things, and seems to be pure concentrated fail. Then there's the verse-

Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow/ you still wander the fields of your sorrow What will it bring?

This seems to fit a prophetic thing of sorts- Chris will eventually make an attempt at being normal, but it will fail, as he still has heavy baggage from us trolls and his life's experiences. Next line, shall we?

One day you're a hero/ next day you're a clown/ there is nothing that is in-between/ now you're a 21st Century Man

This describes Chris's nonexistant triumphs besides the Sonic contest in the early 90s. The verse after it describes how we end up telling him these are not achievements, but failures. Then, it describes how Chris can pretty much not be in-between as some people are, which leads into how he believes he is ahead of his time. Next part:

You should be so happy/ you should be so glad/ but why are you so lonely/ you 21st Century Man?

This basically describes how Chris is not content with his room full of crap, and leads into the questioner asking why Chris is so lonely, which would lead into a Love Quest monologue. Nxt. Vrs.

You stepped out of a dream/ believing everything was gone/ Return with what you learned/ They'll kiss the ground you walk upon"

Also irony- Chris never learns and thinks there is nothing but him and that his nonexistant fanbase should suck his duck 24/7.

(INSERT GUITAR BRIDGE HERE- TOLL $2)

Things aren't how you thought they were/ Nothing have you planned/ So pick up your penny and your suitcase/ You're not a 21st Century Man"

The ultimate burn- the questioner tells him off, but we only catch the tail-end of it due to the bridge. It shows how he is not ahead, but behind in time, forever stuck in childhood, with no true escape but finally getting a job, moving out and finally getting a life.

(repeat verse)

Same as above. He's going to do an attempt at normal, like he is now, but even bigger, but it will fail and everything around him will fall apart at his feet.

Just listen, and you decide. John Lennon or Chris Chandler?

I HAVE SPOKEN. SO IT SHALL BE.
