Watching Girls Gone Wild

Why I watch GirlsGoneWild So, there I was. Four O'clock in the morning. I am awakened by the arrival of a text message. In the course of all thoughts that early in the morning, it is an oddity to awaken. Rolling back over the retrieve a now lost dream state is one of the most tempting actions in the experience of life. Something in me sparked my days energy in that moment. So there I was, driven to no longer sleep. There I was. So, what are the courses of action that may be embarked upon? Continued respite? Bathroom? Snack? Tv? I choose T.v. A certain network consisting of an appropriate level of cartoons is always appealing. Late at night they show the stuff they don't want to show children. Abstract and sometime loose morals can be communicated on these shows. It is sometimes best that they are not on during the hours young people are supposed to be asleep. So I make my way into the study. T.v. turns on as I finish a reply on my phone. Astro boy is on. What a wonderfully simplistic cartoon created some time ago. Contrary to my normal state of mind, the show is not appealing to me. So I surf. What is on but man's favourite form of debauchery; Girls Gone Wild. It is at this point I would suggest any guy who ever sees this program throw a brick through his television at the first sign of the temptation to watch. The commercials are tantamount to pornography in and of themselves. So, I pause. This would be the second time I paused. I was quickly convicted and ran to change the channel. I found a show on MSNBC where they were interviewing murders. The sickest of the sick of mankind. It rang in my heart of deja vu. And it wasn't just that I've seen the infomercial before. I realized something. The same human cravings gone amiss that cause one to murder are of the same ilk as that which causes one to participate in the fleshly parties. A lack for a truer and transcendant law guides one into seeing only what may feel good. Into craving something that would either take away certain hurt. The hurt created by seeing the world for other than it is, and seeing history and future for other than they are. Without salvation, one may as well eat and drink and be merry. They have said in there heart, "There is no God" I mentioned that I'd seen it previously. Then also was there a a counterbalance to the commercial. It was an add to send money to starving children in Africa. Opposite offers. I wonder which stirred the heart more of others who were up that early being fed by the cable lines.
