Cash Rules Everything Around Me

I steam therefore I am.

Some say the "cream rises to the top."  But what do some mean?  

UsingEnglish.com says this popular phrase refers to the belief that "a good person or idea cannot go unnoticed for long, just as cream poured in coffee or tea eventually rises to the top."  This malarkey is all about meritocracy, which is, according to Wikipedia, "a political philosophy holding that power should be vested in individuals almost exclusively based on ability and talent."  

Okay even if that were true in our current political system, maybe it shouldn't be.  

To those who say "The cream rises to the top," I say:  Sweat becomes the steam that pushes things to the top.  While comfort becomes the cream that curdles in the pot.

Why?  Because cream, according to Wikipedia (and me),  is "a dairy product composed of the higher-butterfat layer (a layer, not something of deep substance) skimmed (not attained through any deep thinking) from the top of milk before homogenization (cream is the result of the first part of the process of stripping away the unified glory of milk). In un-homogenized milk (that raw, uncut, open milk that's like hip hop before Ad-men got involved), fat (the flabby, jiggly, mess we all want less of), which is less dense (aka less substantive), will eventually (how long do we wait for over-hyped, crap movies and albums that are almost never worth it?) rise to the top." Now we know why most of the stuff at the top of the music charts is such garbage.  Because C.R.E.A.M.






Ole!

Cream is only good when from free range and grass-fed cows, and only served in small amounts  in large mugs of fair trade coffee or large bars of fair trade chocolate (picked and processed by worker-owned cooperatives) sipped and bit to provide a boost to those of us who work to make things happen so that our sweat becomes the steam that pushes us to the top to defy C.R.E.A.M. so that one day we can all say 'I sweat therefore I am and because I am, the world is better than it was.'
