What's Your End Game?

I've been asking that a lot lately. People's actions really boil down to: "What are you hoping to gain by doing what you just did?" I think that's a fair question. Most things that people do are motivated by money or sex. Even things like succeeding in the workplace or an extra set at the gym are nothing more than an effort to get paid and get laid. That's human nature at it's rawest form and there's certainly nothing wrong with it.

There's a lot of buzz today on the interwebs about the incident last night between Kanye West and Taylor Swift. I haven't seen the footage*, but from the little clips I heard on the radio driving into work, it sounds like he grabbed the mic out of her hands at the VMAs while she was accepting an award and proclaimed that Beyonce should have won. I don't know if the words "fucking douchebag" are even enough to describe this egomaniacal midget. I'm by no means a Taylor Swift fan and firmly believe that listening to country music forces your eyes to grow closer together, but this was an act of colossal asswipeism, even for a legendary asswipe Like Kanye West. There is a lot of chatter about this today and 99% of it is bashing him for inexplicably ruining a little girl's moment in the spotlight, but the question remains;

"What's your end game?"

What could he possibly stand to gain from this? Money? No. This will surely hurt his concert / album sales. Sex? I don't think publicly humiliating a young country music starlet will get Beyonce Knowles to sleep with you, but if that really is the case, I'm storming the stage, arms-a-flailing at the next CMAs and giving Gretchen Wilson an atomic wedgie.

I guess someone like him really has no end game. It's just a sea of bloated selfishness and unbridled narcissism. Douchebag.
