The Diss Monologue.

Venting in many ways is therapeutic. I do it a fair amount on here myself. But I usually have a subject to run with. However, sometimes people don't provide that and it turns into a really convoluted argument with oneself. The best example I can come up with right away is Timothy Treadwell. Better known as the grizzly man, Treadwell took several cameras along for his many excursions to go spend time with the bears that would eventually mean his and his girlfriend's demise.

Treadwell was fighting many demons, and so he at one point thought it necessary to provide us with a Diss Monologue. Timothy's Diss does accompany some sort of subject, but even then there's no real reason provided as to why he rants so angrily. It trails off into oblivion and it just makes him look like a fool.

Rappers do this quite often on their records. I would name a few but I don't listen to rap enough to do so. There was a time when I did listen to rap however so I've heard a few monologues. Usually it comes at the end of the song as it winds down.

I suppose that if Timothy hadn't died, his angry rant would never have came to light, but rappers put it directly on their albums that are sold to the public. What does it accomplish? Is it supposed to show that they're angry and therefore deserve their position in the music market? Either way, it just turns into the drivel full of profanity that is not something that I'd imagine anybody enjoys listening to.

Stop it.

Yogurt.

I'm both jealous and annoyed at companies who claim that their products are more special than others. I'm jealous because I would like to use all kinds of euphemisms and yank at the public's strings like the puppet master I would be if I ran a company and I would laugh all the way to the bank. I speak of Dannon in this case.

Now, I have done a little reading and I'm not quite comfortable with making bold statements on this one. If someone wants to check what I say and tell me the truth I would like to know. But here's my qualm.

I suspect that Dannon's Activia brand yogurt is no different than any other yogurt, and that it's all in their presentation that makes it so convincing to try their 2 week plan to get your pooper back in order. Here's my reasoning. All yogurt has healthy bacterial cultures in it that produce lactic acid which in turn gives yogurt its distinct flavor.

Now, I won't get too deep into the details and technical terms, but there are over 400 known species of bacteria in a human's digestive tract. So here's where I doubt my hypothesis: Dannon supposedly patented a strain of bacteria called Bifidobacterium Animalis and uses it in Activia. So, yes it is possible that this bacteria affects the digestive tract in a different manner than any yogurts, but I have my doubts that it really matters because other brands of yogurt are quite healthy for your digestive tract and is beneficial to eat regularly.

All the while, Dannon has jacked the price up on their patented bacteria flavored yogurts and are pulling our strings. Have you tried Activia yet?

This is what stands in the way of my hypothesis:

Thank you for actually making it to the bottom of this if you have. I know it's long.
