Ready To Bleed: Hamburgers

When was it decided that the human being needed so many tastes in their mouth all at once? Yes, of course, the Hamburger is amazingly delicious but order one with everything, and some extras. How many flavors are all going on at once?

-Bread
-Beef
-Lettuce
-Tomatoes
-Onions
-Pickles
-Mustard
-Mayonnaise
-Ketchup
-Cheese
-Bacon
-Jalapeños
-Barbecue Sauce

That’s 13 flavors all going on at once, and I’m sure there are even some condiments that I am forgetting. What’s the reason? Are we as a society so overtly bored that we need to do this sense overload to ourselves? Is it greed or gluttony that makes us want to keep on piling on the extras onto something that is already a finished product? I’m curious what makes us do this to ourselves. Its completely unnecessary, yet its become such a way of life, that a loaded hamburger seems completely natural and normal to us. Take a step back before you order that burger and ask yourself, “Why?”

Why?

Ready To Bleed: Intro

A while ago, I was experimenting with ideas and thoughts, much like now, but to a very dark degree. I had been listening to NIN’s album Year Zero, and heavily involved with the alternate reality game (ARG) that went along with the promotion of the release of the album.  The ARG actually went on for months, prior to  the album’s release, and even a little bit afterward, and was very intense, and therefore managed to seep into my brain, hence the birth of Ready To Bleed. There was only a few sections that I wrote for this blog, and I’m transferring them over here, to consolidate my work.  Don’t let my words surprise or shock you.  It’s only thoughts and ideas. :)
