It's just absolutely maddening, isn't it..?? It's like a swarming hive. It's like an angry Tsunami.
It's real though. "Real enough" to wake you as you're gasping for your last breath: riptides now drag you away; FAR-out to open seas! Anyway you feel 'bout it - it's real: 'no 2-for-1/$0.99' "gimmickry". NO SIR!! This shit right here? IT'S REAL!! You can either "get with it," or have your hateful, disbelieving, shading, damaged, yet snarling "self-esteem" CRUSHED by it.

You're confused: you hear two distinct voices, arguing, shouting in your head. Your eyes tell you one thing, but your "shading" heart tells you yet another. From "last to first" is a LONG ways to climb, isn't it though? There was no "high-powered PR Spin" employed. NO! There was only God, Talent, Blogs, and THAT young black man's "will" that determined HIS fate! It's a modern-day miracle, last remembered when men walked on water, and poured water into into wine; it's even theatrical!! To think of it as nothing less is to further delude yourself (from the looks/sounds of it, you can't afford to).

And now? ..Well now, the "tables are turned": servant becomes the master, "player runs game" and here YOU are..gasping for your last breath of air..
