So you came here just to take a look
to see what awards are tucked in here aye. Well
I'm sorry I fooled you.. I haven't any awards. Don't
know how people get them... certainly not interested in
them but I just wanted to talk a bit about vanity. And
please resist that urge to hit the back button. I want
you to at least come away from my web site thinking of
something... with some sort of impression....
Sure.. some of these web sites get legitimate awards,
but how the heck do some of these sites amass bunches and
bunches of them... what's the scheme and who do they
sell their soul to.
Some of them put them up as trophies; as that it's
their being... like thier lives wouldn't be complete
without them... devoting pages and pages to them, like
the hunter puts his rare buffalo head on the wall for
all to see. It's like an accomplishment, but an
accomplishment of what?
But I guess that's something to do with the human
psyche... we have to show that we have something that
someone else hasn't. We have to be better than the next
person for if we fail our lives have been in vain. And
what better way to show it in material wealth.
Now I'm
not having a go at people who display all these little
awards, but it's a point I want to get across... you
are here because you had to check out to see if I had
something maybe you didn't.. or that you might want
to try and get.... that old saying.. keeping up with
the Jones's... And I'm not having a go at you for
being here.... I was actually hoping you would be; that
you'd want to see for yourself what was here.
Does our culture breed this need for material things?
What spurs us on to want more and more; to have more
than the next person? Why are we never happy with what
we have and why do we have to display our posessions
like trophies? These are all questions not only about
the awards that people display
on thier web pages, but in general everyday life. It's
something we have to sit and think about. Is having
all these material things make us better people? Or
is it just a sign of vanity? Think about it!
