Matthew Henry John Bartlett

Sometimes I get trapped in a flickr slideshow, and tonight I was, looking at billboards, trying to find out what we want, and this is what I found: happiness, independence, speed/freedom, fitness, style, control in a mess, cleanliness in a dump, respect, sex with hot people, self-expression, escape, a peaceful mind, transcendence, simplicity, cool friends, sophistication, understanding of things most don’t get, passive or unconsciously alluring women, confidence, seduction (ours or theirs), amusement, and lots and lots of holy Objects. And then of a sudden I thought about the stars, the saints who most perfectly realise our desires, and I suppose that is why icons of Brangelina are everywhere.
