Okay, I don’t pretend to know anything about LatinX, I have no grip with LatinX, or sexy dance – but what happened on that Half-time stage was about as much LatinX, as Charlton Heston was the real Moses in the Ten Commandments.

I simply voiced my bewildered, mixed with a certain distaste, for at the over the top excess, on that stage with that silly performance, during the commercials and during that days long pregame thing on ESPN.  I wonder how many those partiers were passed out or recovery before the kick off.  Or is it like the Russian national New Year’s gala where everyone has the same smile, and they keep toasting with those glasses of champagne, but look closer at those glasses, they never drink any, it’s all pretend party.

I can’t help be visited by thoughs of: ‘For this we’ve bombed the hell out of Middle East and created a world that hates and fears us?  This the Democracy they all thump their chests over.’  ‘For this we are destroying our very own life-support system, weird humans.’

Thought seems they are pretty much the same everywhere – we just got luckier than most areas – This country simply had a lot more special stuff on offer when the western world “found it”.  Been frantically bustling to consume it all fast a possible – I never could wrap my head around that.  Not when Reagan supercharged this self-destruction, and certainly not now, being keenly aware of what’s unfolding upon this planet and within it’s oceans and atmosphere.

Part of me, the god’s eye view, the Xian view, as I learn more and more, I also more and more accept most all of us deserve what’s coming our way.  Thousands of years worth of myths, and fairytales, and warnings, yet when it really counted, and when we really achieved a good level of comfort, and understanding about our planet than ever before, we said, so fucking what, lets party.  But for a couple decades humanity had the power to make an incredibly different healthier future.  But, Me First always seems to get in the way.

Rather than securing what was needed to make our wonderful incredible biosphere last a little longer to benefit the Seventh Generation, we can’t even be brought to take substantive action to slow down for the sake of our own children’s generations.

Then I look at this wonderful little one and it’s not so easy to let go.   🙁
