"Did you see that?" and a Couple Other Topics

Being surrounded by big business franchises almost all day every day, we don't really notice or think too much about them. We don't stop and think, "I wonder how much money McDonalds makes each day." or, "How many Wal•Marts exist across the country?" It doesn't much matter wether you end up researching these particular topics or not, but doing so could reveal some very interesting facts.

Why do I bother saying this? Well, what else don't you notice every day? What else is becoming a grey background to your every day pattern? I have read several articles saying we notice only the things that we are told to notice, simply because of human psychology. It is easier on our brains to think about what we are doing presently, burying all else into the murky Subconscious.

I just think it interesting how little control we have over so many aspects of our brain and bodies. It takes books, classes, studies, and, sometimes, an actual interest in the subject to learn anything at all about how our own minds react to the world.

You as a reader have most likely noticed how fascinated I am with human psychology, and what most of this blog will revolve around. Having said that I also realize that this can turn out to he a very dull topic, but I plan on improving my writing skills to grab and keep your attention.

As a final note, I would like to point out just how flashy and grabby our human environment is. I can't watch tv for very long after I realize the each shot last for about one to two seconds, if that, and with the way the world is progressing, everything from tv to billboards to newspaper ads will be screaming and blinking in our faces. Even writing this post my eyes are beginning to feel puffy.

Well I'm starting babble so I'll wrap up. What I'm saying is how unhealthy everything seems to be for us. No one seems very keen on keeping the population fit and strong. No, money is the top priority, and as long as the people on top stay rich, we in the lower middle class and below can get fat and diseased.

What also amazes me is the god-like image famous actors or singers, and shady franchisers receive. I suppose god is a bit much, but still. These people have so much support from very hidden sources, and they make think that it was backbreaking work that got them where they are. In some cases this may be true, but most often it isn't.

I will continue with that topic in another post, but for now I really am drawling, so signing off.
