Every time I go out out to run a few errands - I can't help thinking that I'm entering a circus tent. Everyone looks like a performer in a circus. Everyone is trying to be noticed - stand out from the rest - over the top with their appearance and mannerism.
These days it seems like 1 in 5 people are going outside with hair that reminds me of clown hair. I've seen every color imaginable these days. Age doesn't matter. I've seen both the old and the young with outlandish shades of red, green, blue, purple, etc... Some of it is fake hair - like a clown wig. Some of it is their real hair = dyed to look like clown hair. Why?
Other people are trying to shock me by looking like circus freaks = with excessive tattoos and piercing. I don't know if it is due to boredom or self-mutilation issues. Lately, there has been an increase of people mutilating their bodies. People are putting holes in their noses = so they can look like a bull? People are putting huge holes in their ears = so they can look like an alien? Why?
Also, obesity has become a serious problem in America. Many people are what is considered = morbidly obese. This means that you are likely to see many people in the store that could outweigh the famous "Fat Lady" that was on display in the old circus shows. Sometimes there are so many large people in the store that you can't move around = they are blocking the aisles. Often they are in the store's electric shopping carts = running you down as they go thru the store. People these days seem to have no issues with letting their weight go = no matter how unhealth they become. Why?
In addition = people are wearing anything and everything these days. The clothes are more over the top than anything I've ever seen a clown wear. Just the other day - I saw a woman wearing a top that completely exposed her boobs to the world. The men were staring at her and the women looked disgusted as they tried to keep their kids from noticing her. I've seen people in sleep wear = looking like they just got up = night gown and slippers. I've seen people that look like they just came from a pool = wearing swim suit tops. I've seen people wearing clothes that hurt my eyes = really scary outfits. I remember one woman who looked like she was wearing a stretch body suit and she was extremely large = reminded me of a stuffed sausage. Why?
Anything and everything seems to go these days. No standards. We live in a world where men are wearing female shower caps and putting on bright red lipstick. Women are exposing themselves = like a really bad XXX adult movie. Kids are running around in the store - unsupervised - like loose monkeys at the zoo. It's complete chaos.
Who needs to go to the circus anymore? All you need to do is go to your local store - department store or grocery store. You will see everything = whether you want to or not. No wonder many of us are wondering if the world has gone mad. Every day - you see people that look like they just escaped from a mental institution and they are off their meds. It's very unsettling.
Take care and be safe!
