Ok, You Toast to the A$$hole and Call Me When You're Done....

 

Yes, yes, yes...Kanye made a great song. He created an ode to the brass, rude, act 1st and think 2nd, self righteous jerks of our society. The guy that everyone loves to hate perfectly captured the feelings of those that despise him and simultaneously held up his own personal flag for who and what he is. A great moment in MTV music history.



Unfortunately we are now caughtt up in the follow the leader-like path that comes after many great creative moments. The general public claims it and runs it into the ground without a true understanding of what made that creation so appropriate.

Runaway wasn't a universal free pass to be rude, crude and ill mannered. Yet many of  the masses have taken it as a green light to act like they weren't raised better. Now through the safety of digital signals and worldwide distance, anything can be expressed with no need to take responsibility and stand for what you actual stand.  Under the current label of "Slander" folk don't merely give opinions, they must insult, bash and disrespect. It actually reminds of when the stigma around sex, the porn industry &porn stars in general was suddenly lifted and out the blue everyone was rocking Porn star themed t-shirts and running to tell all who will listen how good their head game was.

The main problem here is that you have to bring something to the table to balance being this grand a$$hole. If you're just a prick for the sake of it in real life the results are either isolation, physical confrontation and ultimately a lack of progress. Kanye is one of the greatest musical artists of our time. That kinda makes up for him being a jerk at times. You work a regular job and grind to pay bills like we all do. Sorry that doesn't raise you to "Acceptable A$$hole" status. Don't get me wrong have your opinion but I doubt a lot of this new mentality would exist if these communications were happening in person. They'd most likely end up like shorty in this vid.....



So as I count how many folk keep telling us to "Toast Them" via blogs, tweets and fb status' I think I'll keep my drink lowered, pour in some more Cognac and cool out in the corner. When it's once again in style to act like you have home training then I'll lift my cup to you higher then anyone.
