FaceBook, Paul Ryan, Iraq War III, all good reasons to split the new-norm Janesville-Wisconsin-American scene

You know, I was gonna post a couple essays on good ol' fuck'n FaceBook about what a miserable place Janesville, Wisconsin, is, to try to survive in these days (in its perennial happy-assed, part-time minimum wage matrix). And then, I thought about maybe posting another writing regarding how fucked we all are as working Americans now that we aforementioned said Americans are embarking on Iraq War III. Just think of all the funny-money-tax-money this newest war to protect the "Good World," will cost us blue-collar Americans (what's left of us anyway) (We ain't paid for Iraq War II yet).

But what's the fuck'n point? In a couple minutes after posting said essays on FB, my little literary masterpieces, will be lost in a venerable cornucopia of cyber-Zuckerberg-ian, cuter-than-a-kitten kittens, irresistible-as-a-puppy puppies, forced-to-look-at redundant babies, self-absorbed stupid human videos, abjectly-disturbing computer game drama, predictably bad fuck'n jokes, painfully-uninteresting family stories, and, regurgitated self-help crap.

I really am thinking...., and thinking more about it every day, now that I reach that precipice in life of maybe never waking up on any given morning, that little Bobby is all about splitting this lame FaceBook pop-stand.... and the pathetic brick and mortar Wisconsin/American city I live in. It kind of reminds me of when I split "the bull-shit scene" in the mid '70s.


Grinning in the background is, Congressman Paul Ryan, our First Congressional District, new-norm-service-industry-send-jobs-to-china apologist. The back stage of his Congressional District is in a shambles. I am a working sucker trying to survive in his miserable District (a once vibrant industrial region - now mired in fast-food jobs). I will be leaving Ryan's District - and at 60 years old. What a shame. It is called "silent flight." We all just leave - the very young to the very old. And, you all think things are hunky-dory. None of us that are fleeing these new norm economic hells bother to stop by the city council or county board meetings to voice a bitter good-bye. Good luck suckers.

Maybe, after all, upon reflection, there is some poetry here in this "new not-so-new banal American social media, tired Congressman, and new-norm economy crap."

It's all been done before.
