I don't know how many people have cable. My guess is most of you reading this blog. I don't know how many hours a day you watch TV. I don't know what channels you watch and I really am not too concerned. I just have a beef with this one particular style of TV show that really pisses me off.
This is the Quiet Mouse, follow me down the rabbit hole once again as I open your mind to the REAL world. You don't even have to take the red pill... just keep reading :)
It is just my opinion, as with many other issues that I blog about. So keep your pantyhose on, the rides only gonna be bumpy for a minute... the Quiet Mouse will lead you through the Wonderland of the Matrix without too many scratches and bruises... maybe?
In my personal opinion, shows like this Pawn Stars are the biggest insult to television since Sarah Palin was given a minute of airtime to breathe hot air into the microphone.
I can hear the muttering, but we don't have time right now for that... get back to ya in a minute...
When did it become such a modern icon of televisionography for this crap to get aired? It is shameful and quite immoral for this shit to be sensationalized in ANY way. I can sorta understand people who are hoarders sell their JUNK, but people are on here selling some serious stuff.
I think it is pretty bad right now the way the economy is, with a lot of people out of work, trying to get by and feed their families, by any means necessary to put food on the table. I empathize my brothers and sisters, I do. I feel your pain. I have been homeless before. Wasn't fun, but I got through it.
Back to subject, what amazes me, I suppose, is people's ability to justify almost ANYTHING for $$CASH$$!! I think most Americans WOULD sell their own Grandma for a few bucks. There SHOULDN'T be a price on your personal being. We are PRICELESS. You can't BUY me. You can RENT me though, for a decent wage and some ACTUAL benefits. Most people, however are willing to sell themselves ALL the way down to the soul, for VERY VERY CHEAP!!
Did you at least get something GOOD for $$selling$$ your soul?
Maybe I'm being a little melodramatic? I'll think about that while you think about this:
What do you need to buy so badly that you had to sell your grandma's wedding ring that she got handed down to her through the generations all the way back to Europe, Africa, Australia, South America, Asia or wherever... I'm not white, so I gotta throw in the variety there, because we are ALL ONE people.
Back to my point. People are selling like OLD family heirlooms, cars, jewelry, old movies, guns, and lots of other stuff for pennies on the dollar of what their real value is.
I DO believe that the things you own have a way of owning YOU, however, for my point, I don't think it is right for people to sell their family heirlooms or rare collectibles to a PAWNSHOP dude who is rolling in an expensive Cadillac and wearing a leather suit. If he acts like a PIMP... word.... he probably is one. You done pimped your shit to this giggalo. He's running ho's out the back man, for real... or probably something heavier like cocaine.
Back BEFORE the over-sensationalization of Pawn Stars, think back with me on this one... think real hard... if you were born before 1990, you would know that Pawn Shops AND their owners are SCUMBAGS!! They will rape you for the cost of your collectible whatever. If they can turn it around and charge 3 or 4 times as much he payed your sucker ass for. Aught to make you feel like Elmer Fudd in the Loony Toons when bugs played him like a fool and he momentarily looks like a donkey or a lollipop. He made you look like an ASS or a SUCKER!!
I may or may not have said this before, but here it is now. Before you throw your shit away and piss into the wind, maybe you could try changing your tactics.
If you are out of work, you need to think about changing something about yourself to be MORE employable. If you are not working, I bet you could find a free or low charge class to attend for 1 afternoon on how to be successful or something. I know times are tough, but go back to school. Don't sell your junk on television show to a viper pit of con-artists and pimps. If you DO just feel so compelled, sell your shit on craigslist or Amazon. Get a proper amount for your possessions. OR... I have a better idea... STOP BUYING A BUNCH OF NEW SHIT! We have a problem in this country with too much shit! We're full of shit, we're talking shit, we're taking a shit, we're shooting the shit, we're up shit creek... that's a lot of shit. Just like this supposed "reality" television that is designed to distract you, once again, from the Matrix of illusion and take away your free thought, ingenuity, artistic expression, and individuality.
Turn the channel!! Better yet, TURN THE TV OFF!! Lets go outside and play again like we did when we were younger. Let's let go of a few worries that we CANNOT CONTROL. Let's live TODAY like it's our "Bucket List" (Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman movie) and STOP throwing our lives away.
This has been the Quiet Mouse. Thank you to all my brothers and sisters from all Nations of this beautiful planet. May the universal creator look kindly upon you and bless you with enough prosperity to feed you and your family, to put a roof over your head and clean clothing on your back, and a strong body to carry out your daily tasks.
Peace. Love. Respect. Integrity. Honor. Empathy.

I don't know QM...Isn't it kind of presumptuous to think that the dudes running the pawn shops have something heavier going on? Perhaps they are trying to make an honest living! Sure, they are giving you pennies on the dollar for what you paid, but that's what it's all about. How the heck are they going to make money if they don't screw you a little? It's business. I don't totally agree with it, but hey, we all get screwed one way or another. Look at the payday loan industry. Talk about loan sharks. If you want to rag on someone, make that your next blog.
