chicken and egg.. or egg and chicken?

This question's probably older than me, and while stoning on a few bus trips, it suddenly sneaked into my brain.

Did the notion of anger and "breaking stuff" come about naturally in us first, or did limp bizkit's song along with all the anger in pop culture and media come first? When a typical teen argues with his parents, does he feel like smashing things because he learnt it from watching tv, or does he feel like that because it was a reflex built into him?

Did adam get a great headache (and before moses was there with the 2 tablets) over some differences with eve, or is that only an image too often portrayed by hollywood? Would ur great^999 grandfather have brought your great^999 grandmother to see the shooting stars as an effort to make up to her (for marrying another concubine maybe?), or is that just a shakespearean notion which eventually became pop culture, and hence how we behave?

hmmmm..

bad day

well it happens..

i'm guessing it's an unavoidable byproduct of the modern world. we start wanting so many things, and some of which when we can't get, just makes you frustrated because things get out of our control. we become slaves of what we want and i'm guessing that's what's making me feel like shit.

on another note.. you've heard of 'middle-child/only-child/etc syndrome' right? lately i've come to realized that being the youngest of the 2 children in my family, everybody lets me win. nobody demands that i do the dishes (though i volunteer to do it once in a few weeks.. hey my bro does it once a year! it's ok he wouldn't read this anyway). and in my church everybody's diplomatic and nice when it comes to reprimanding people.

and i think that explains the difficulty i have in accepting others' opinions. there is one way though. i just tell myself 'ok i don't give a shit about this' then i'll agree with anything. i feel so guilty for the times when marc and kenneth and the lan gang so readily agreed with i jio-ed them for lan. but everytime they jio me i always cannot make it. it's things like that. i guess it's never too late to start deconstruction works..

anyway i know this video is so old, but if u haven't seen it, check this funny shit!
