VPP

I'm not quite sure where the term VIP came from. Clearly a group of people thought that being a person wasn't good enough.

IP-Important Person-The first step in separatist action (don't confuse this with Internet Protocol).
RIP-Relatively Important Person-That conjures up thoughts of cemeteries as well as ghosts and goblins
SIP-Somewhat Important Person- No real clout with this one
VIP-Very Important Person...Ahh, now that works.

Who decides one's level of importance?

To whom are they important?

In what capacity are they important?

Is it important to have someone to drink with? Maybe.

Is it important to go to the movies or dinner with said VIP? Maybe.

Sure the cash they spend being fresh off the teet keeps other businesses and employees busy at work creating some God forsaken bling with their initials in 20 carats of diamonds.(That's original)

They whips! Another Ferrari or Lamborghini... Great cars, but...

High end hotels, travel, restaurants, put simply, living above the fray.

Who doesn't want that? Having nice things, doing nice things, and having access to nice things is well... nice.

Just a tip: If your life is based purely on someone else's success, this does not make YOU a VIP.

You may feel like one, or more than likely act like one staring down from your ivory tower but all it does is make you a spoiled, bratty, daddy can I have another? adult! Trust me.

Sean Kingston will soon be walking around like he has actually contributed or more importantly created something. He ripped off a beautiful song by Ben E. King, added some synth, and a funky beat, and he now has one of the most downloaded songs on iTunes. (I'm still trying to figure out how iTunes has become the de facto standard for judging music). More on that later.

I don't get it. I always thought and still believe that life is worth earning. I can't comprehend nor will I legitimize being so far removed from life because you can be.

So for now, let's just call them Very Popular People.
