Bored.

So, i came to town today to cancel my jobseekers allowance due to me now having a job... I then decided i would wait around for my girlfriend to finish college... But i have no money, my girlfriend doesnt finish college until 4 and its now oly half past 2. So, to kill time, and avoid spending what money i do have on a mcdonalds i decided to look around waterstones and price up the game of thrones collection for my dads christmas/birthday presents and the walking dead comics for myself...
I left, after finding out that both things would cost a helluva lot, deciding i would try to find them at a reasonable price online...
During this time i contemplated the fact that there are many things in this world which i cannot comprehend. After turning this thought over, i got out my phone, leant on a bycicle stand outside carphone warehouse and connected to their free wifi in order to bring you this incredibly non-art-related and frankly boring blog post about things i cant get my head round...
The first of these, came to mind as i saw some in waterstones... Erotic novels. I mean, sure, a lot of people read them online and a few actually reach publishing stage and are kept in quite racy stores and charity shops... At least thats how things were. With the release of 50 shades of gray into the public, things changed. 50 shades of gray is a very popular erotic novel, read by women all over the world and reaching fame insanely rapid. People i know, such as my mother, her friends, my best friends older sisters, his mother, all their friends... Theyve all been roped in by this erotic novel hype. And i just dont get it... The outcome, as stated by many of its readers, is that they get some kind of sexual satisfaction from reading the books. Now, i hate to be old-fashioned... Who am i kidding? I love it. But, isnt that wrong? To sell something so racy and sexual in major stores around the world? This book encouraged many other erotic novel writers to come forward with books of their own to publishers. And after having read through some of the pages in many of these books, i find that the writing in them is awful and pathetic, as though amateur writers have come forth simply to share their sexual fantasies with others, in a rush so as to catch the hype. Frankly, my 15 year old sister writes better stories. Personally, i also see reading something like this as a mechanism to become turned on, whilst with a partner, is quite an insult to them. Much like watching porn would be an insult to many girlfriends or wives.
Enough about that, onto another thing which i find completely incomprehensible. Fangirling... If thats the correct term... Going above and beyond to become the worlds most infatuated with a certain celebrity. The main two centrepieces of these kinds of obsessions being canadian singer, Justin Beiber and british boy band One Direction. I should state, before going any further with this subject, i seek not to upset or displease anybody, simply just to state my confusion. Groups of mainly girls and homosexual males dedicate their time, money, harddrive space and internet to certain people. And the thing which confuses me, is why... Why do people go to such an effort to obsess over somebody who doesnt even know they exist, wont notice that youve bought all their albums and t-shirts 3 times and have their face on your wall. I have never had a celebrity crush and never found myself particularly attracted to a celebrity. It seems ridiculous being infatuated with somebody you will never meet, who has never once in their life even thought about you and who will likely not even be who they seem to be when you meet them in person. Sure, you can listen to and analyse all of their lyrics, buy and read all their books and biographies and study their face and body in great detail, but you will never know this person. Surely these people must reach an age of adulthood and levelheadedness at some point? And surely at this point, they regret the time they wasted scribbling i heart bieber into their schoolbooks instead of working on a proper lifestyle. Maybe, if they were that much of a fan, they could build their life up to becoming a music journalist or band photographer and one day meet this person. But spending all your life, or even just the majority until the next heart throb steps into play, longing after and aspiring to meet somebody who will probably never remember meeting you if you ever did meet them, seems like a waste. Aspiring to be good at your job, or a great person to be in a relationship with, seems like a better use of your time... Imagine if you ever do meet a proper crush, somebody who you could make a future with, but they know about the obsessive nature, your longing for somebody far beyond your reach and their level, that would drive them off, or even leave them feeling quite bad about themselves.
Im not one to say my opinion is the right opinion, or that youre living your life in the wrong way, i just wanted to get my point across and burn some time...
Well, its 5 to 3 and i still have an hour until my girlfriend finishes... Ive completely bored you with a totally tl;dr and highly opinionated post and now ive nothing to do... Im hungry but were having a large meal this afternoon... What to do...
Well, thanks for reading, if you even made it this far...
