Reality sucks. ...Actually, let's add some U's to that for emphasis and try again. Reality suuuuuuuuucks. Much better. Fantasy, on the other hand, is almost without a question superior. Well, except for the obvious problem that fantasy isn't real, fantasy is better. In a fantasy world, you can be a tiny god and its no big thing. Eh, why think small? You could be a BIG god, and its no big thing. In reality, you're lucky if you aren't the bottom of the totem pole. In fantasy, you always get the girl. In reality, you're more likely to get the shaft. In fantasy, riches, fame, the big time...its yours. In reality, you're more likely to become infamous than famous. Think about it. You ever see that video of the guy that was cleaning the elephant cage when the elephant backed up? I don't know who got the bigger shock, the guy with his head stuck up the elephant's butt or the elephant. Does anybody know who he is (or even care)? Or what about the countless men whose only claim to fame is that they were featured at one time or another on America's Funniest Home Videos as they caught some blunt object between their legs (an area NOT designed for catching ANYTHING)? Can anyone say that their dream is to have THAT happen to them? All in all, infamy is basically one swift kick to the genitals away! As an example of the opposite case, right now, I'm simultaneously imagining myself as the ruler of a medium-sized island nation, a traveler on a starship, and a private investigator in a Bogart-esque mystery. Why? Because I bloody can! That's why! Of course...there's the whole problem of the lack of reality in...non-reality. Reality just is, and fantasy (unless you're imagination's growth was INCREDIBLY stunted) is pretty much guaranteed not to happen. Me? Rule an island nation? I barely rule my own bleeding house! The constant uprisings by the rats in that "Room I Don't Go In" are enough to disrupt things, let alone that phenomenon of the folded toilet paper in the bathroom (all I know is that I didn't fold it). All of this, I suppose, means that reality is actually the superior of the two, not because its cooler, but because it kicks fantasy's scrawny butt. And that, my fellow monkeys, suuuuuuuuucks. |
