Do you believe in magic pills?

Apparently the US Government allows magic pill advertising all over the Internet and all over TV.

You can’t watch a sporting event without seeing a magic pill.

Boner issues? Can’t be anything emotional. Can’t be the reason why you’re with the wrong partner. Can’t be the reason why you don’t talk about sex with your partner and talk about your needs, wants and desires.

It has to be a physical thing.

So, we’ll give you the pill that makes your penis hard, but it doesn’t create desire or get rid of your emotional issues.

The emotional issues, well, that gets taken care of by another magic pill.

We’ll give you some type of pill for anxiety, and some type of pill for depression, and another pill to help you sleep.

That way, you’ll no longer understand why you have boner issues in the first place.

Because you’ll be numb constantly and not present and not really in a full state of consciousness.

Do you have trouble concentrating? Well, of course we’ll give you another pill for that.

It can’t possibly be that you’re actually a human being and you’re having a human experience of having a lack of concentration at 4:00 in the afternoon or 8:00 in the morning because you’re just a little foggy.

So, instead of working through the fog and allowing the fog to come through and allowing your brain to actually trigger on its own, we’ll just simulate it. By the end of the day, after you’ve been taking pills for anything that you can imagine, you don’t really feel that good, because your whole body chemistry is so off.

So, you’ll take another pill to help you sleep. And you’ll complete the next cycle the next day because you believe these magic pills actually help your life.

But what they actually do is numb your life.

They numb you. They numb you out because we really shouldn’t feel anymore.

So, you slept okay. You’re foggy in the morning. You’ve taken the pill to get you concentrating.

You feel a little anxiety in the middle of the day, you take another type of pill to calm you down.

You go home, you have no communication with your partner and you take a boner pill. So physically your penis will work, but you don’t know why your emotions are not working.

Then you’ll go to sleep, or you’ll try to and you won’t be able to.

So, you reach for another pill.

And the cycle will continue.

Maybe you’ll add things to that magic pill.

You’ll go to the neighborhood wine store and get some alcohol.

Maybe you’ve got a marijuana card. Those guys are the easiest ones to con. You just walk in there and tell them you have insomnia. Here’s marijuana to abuse, enjoy it.

There’s a magic pill for EVERYTHING.

If you have trouble dating, you believe there’s some magic pill.

The magic pill is Ten Easy Steps to Meet the Love of Your Life.

If you’re not making money, there’s always a money making opportunity. You can do one thing, and you can make $1M.

If you want to lose weight, there’s a magic pill for that. God forbid, you get your lazy ass to the gym. God forbid, you fucking start eating healthy and lay off the Twinkies or the snickerdoodles.

Magic Pill Nation is what we’re called.

We like our magic pills with words and solutions. We like our magic pills with everything else.

Because we really suck at fucking handling our shit.

We suck at lowering our cholesterol because it means we’ll have to do some work.

We suck at getting rid of our pre diabetes, because it means we’ll have to change our diet.

We suck at managing our depression, because it means we’ll have to actually go hire somebody and make an investment. It means we’ll have to go get some therapy and actually figure things out instead of putting the magic pill over it.

We can’t concentrate, so while we take a pill for that, because, God forbid, we can’t concentrate for an hour.

I love my hours where I can’t concentrate. It means that I can concentrate on nothing.

Here’s another beauty: if you take a pill to help you concentrate, sometimes you end up concentrating on the negative because it doesn’t really decide what you need to concentrate on.

It will just help you concentrate on whatever thoughts you are, unless you take an anti-depressant pill, which makes you feel better. Which, in turn, will allow you to concentrate on happy thoughts.

But in reality, you’re concentrating on numb thoughts.

You’ve got a heart pill because you refuse to do cardio, so your heart doesn’t know how to work properly without a pill.

You’re conditioning your body through magic pills. And what happens?

Eventually you get older and they put you on more magic pills, and honestly home where they put you on more pills until you die and they open up the bed slot for another person who has been abusing the magic pills their entire life.

Are you depressed yet?

Well if you are, take a Xanax because you’ll feel much better.

If you’re inspired and realize that you should live your life pill free, and live your life pushing yourself to the limit, and really have to do all the things to make you feel better, than I’ve got some really great news.

You’re in the right place.
