Tier-ed?
Usually, we end up needing what we can get, and wanting what we can never have. I think its hilarious the way life is structured. The way our basic necessities have been creatively modified, and how intricately the "class" system has found its way into everything.
Food. Basically a need for sustenance, but now tiered into high-end restaurant chains right down to trashy drive-thrus.
Clothing. Basically a need to cover nakedness, but now tiered into designers right down to bargain basements.
Drink. Basically a need for nourishment, but now tiered into top-shelf right down to canned sodas.
Entertainment. Basically a need to prevent boredom, but now one can drop big-Gs for bottle service at clubs; front row seats to a rock concert, right down to discount peanut gallery seats on Off-Broadway rejects.
Transportation: Basically a need to move from place to place, since the invention of the wheel, but now tiered right from First Class or Luxury Vehicles, right down to Coach and Compacts.
There's a classification for everything, today. Pretty soon, we'll have this in religion as well. The Cool Gods, whose followings are esoteric. The kind that you need to be 25 and over, and dressed to impress, in order to be worthy of worship. Upgrades available.
I've concluded that there are three kinds of things in life - Things you want, Things you need and IPods.
In other news, expect a review of sKANK, later tonite.
And remember, a friend in need, is no friend of mine.
