Before I left work, there was a dull shift one night and someone had left the current issue of "People" in the break room. I leafed through it and didn't know who the hell any of those perfectly coiffed and manicured people were, acting as though they were surprised by the camera flash.

It's one hell of a weird feeling when you realize you've outgrown the popular culture. It's also a great relief not to care about any of them beyond a vague wish they'd behave themselves and send the tabloids back to reporting alien babies.

I not only don't know most of them, but I'm also really happy not to know them.

I am just like "Who the hell are these people?". The good thing is that I don't know or care so I don't feel compelled to pick up or by the stupid magazine in the first place.
