So much for the Age of Enlightenment; so much for rational thought because they are taking back their country even though the country that they are taking back never even existed in the first place.  I guess we should expect nothing less from those that believe in fairytales and folklore and by this I mean the bastardization of just how this country was formed.

 We only want to know the good stuff and never ever talk about the bad old days; the dark days that come and go like the Santa Ana winds.  But in remembering and shouting about the so called history of our nation we have in fact twisted the truth, though this is nothing new to the historians of the world.

“If I lose the light of the sun, I will write by candlelight, moonlight, no light. If I lose paper and ink, I will write in blood on forgotten walls. I will write always. I will capture nights all over the world and bring them to you.” *~ *Henry Rollins

I may have a limited audience but I still have a voice.  Obviously this is mostly my fault for I do not advertise.  But if you are in advertising you should find a new line of work or maybe consider suicide by cop.  That being said, the quote above sums up nicely why people, who are writers, write: because we have to.  This isn’t some sort of lame rationalization, it is a truth.

We should get rid of all the major news networks and form them into one national news service.  We could call this news service the VNN or the Vetted News Network.  This way there would be no reason to think that our information was controlled and manipulated.  But this is a bit too nationalistic for my taste so we shall leave things they way they are for now, as long as you know we can change it any time we want to.

 “The “what should be” never did exist, but people keep trying to live up to it. There is no “what should be,” there is only what is.”  ~ L. Bruce

We worry too much.  We have become a world of people who die too soon because they are fucking worrying about shit that is never going to happen and if it does well there is nothing you can do about it except crawl under your desk (because we all know that this will save you from the nuclear fallout).

I am guilty of it; you are guilty of it and if you say you are not well then you are a liar and that is another blog for another day because I hate liars.  Having been one myself in my teenage years I should know.  Anyhow back to worrying . . . Read more…

I am apathetic to your mediocrity.  Better yet, I refuse to acknowledge it or your existence any longer.  I am not even sure which the bigger enemy of man is: mediocrity or political correctness?  I have to admit though; it does seem to be leaning towards mediocrity.  Then again they do seem to blend together quite well don’t you think?

The more things change . . .

the more they stay the same…

I am so tired of high school. Hell I was tired of it back in 1990 but it is really starting to get old now. Have I changed over the years? Of course I have, who hasn’t but if you say you haven’t for good or ill then you are lying because we all change on some level, even if it is hopey, changy change. See this is one thing I resent about public school or any school really, they prepare you for NOTHING. Now this does not imply that they do not teach because that they do, some better than others but yes at least they teach.

Gone are the days of needing any proof
Pinholes in history like a leaking poorly made thatched roof
In to the stygian abyss we now so easily do follow
A once bitter pill has become oh so comfortable to swallow

The dark of night has now become the black of the day
Such a rigid view there is when erasing all that is grey
Lining up like domino’s not thinking of where or how they will fall
Patiently waiting for someone, anyone to rise to the call

Once upon a time there had to be chaos before there was order
Thinking for ourselves, has become some sort of mental disorder
The world I live in seems to be now the stuff of legend and lore
Closed off from nature we’ve too many deadbolts on this perpetual door

Gone are the days of needing any proof
Pinholes in history like a leaking poorly make thatched roof
In to the stygian abyss we now so easily do follow
A once bitter pill has become oh so comfortable to swallow

* April was National Poetry Month and I meant to post this but alas, life happen when you are busy making plans.*

We’ve been hoodwinked. It seems we are only in it for ourselves, hence the over use of the word, “Capitalism”. It has all been a ruse for the rich to once again rape the not so rich and we are just supposed to shut up and take it. Sort of like an altar boy at mass and no I will not apologize for that remark. But this is not about the SEC surfing for porn instead of doing their job nor is it about the recent (or ancient) faux pas of the Catholic Church. It is much more sinister than that. The FDA wants us to be subservient slugs. I use slugs since you know, if you dump enough salt on them, they die and apparently we do as well, just not as quickly.

I understand the need to regulate certain things such as narcotics and the like but screw you and your pyramid scheme of what I should and should not eat. You can suck it, plain and simple. You say that we are a detriment to society and a burden on the health care system? Wrong. I pay for my own health care so I will ingest whatever I want to ingest. I can buy alcohol or tobacco, no problem but salt? SALT! Something the body NEEDS and the FDA wants to tell us how to ingest it? Do we really need these overpaid babysitters to tell us no all the while they’re probably doing the same exact thing that the SEC is doing: pants around their ankles and surfing for free porn on our dollar.

The FDA is just another failed government regulatory entity, just like the DEA and their so called “War on Drugs”. You got trailer trash Johnny going to jail for having a dime bag while the Mexican drug cartels do whatever they like and no one seems to be able to stop them. How does this make sense? Sorry, off topic. . .

They say we are over taxed; they say that government is too big and they would be correct but we weren’t even a hundred and fifty years in and it was already too big. Let us stop acting as this has occurred within our lifetimes. Let us not fall for their scapegoats and their blame shifting. Or just go back to sleep America and you just keep on thinking that your government has everything under control and not only that but they have our best interests in mind. If you believe that then you should eat a proverbial bullet and be done with it.

Until we are unified under a motto of, “Hey Big Government, we control you, you do not control us” then we are going to be forever diversified and diversity no matter what they shove down our throats, is rarely a good thing. I would however like to add one last thing: Until you learn how to spell, no one and I mean NO ONE is going to take you seriously.

Here ends the lesson.

“I’m the one who steps from the shadows, all trenchcoat and cigarette and arrogance, ready to deal with the madness. Oh, I’ve got it all sewn up. I can save you. If it takes the last drop of your blood, I’ll drive your demons away. I’ll kick them in the bollocks and spit on them when they’re down and then I’ll be gone back into darkness, leaving only a nod and a wink and a wisecrack. I walk my path alone… who would walk with me? “ ~ J. Constantine

It is after all only the internet so turn it off if you don’t like what you read here. Or if you really want to prove your point leave a comment instead of lurking behind your IP address. I mean if you read a newspaper and get pissed off don’t you fire off a letter to the editor? Well probably not since most people have Jell-O for a spine nowadays. But in a perfect world one would think that you would do just that. Or write a letter to your Congressman or Senator when they do not vote with their constituents in mind. Your lives are just too busy for that I suppose. Which in turn I guess it could be said that maybe I have too much time on my side since I write so much. For this I can only say, bite me!

I guess my gears are ground up this week due to the ever growing vox populi that literally does not know what they are talking about. This growing faction of our society that seem to think if they yell loud enough and stomp their feet in perfect unison that someone will wave their magic wand and voila, their strong opinions and should of, could of, would of will suddenly become FACT. You do not have enough money for a vowel but here is a free clue: That’s not how shit works people.

The planet is running out of oxygen. I know that this may come as a shock to the masses but it is true and it has been known since the mid to late 70’s. Of course now you are thinking that this has to do with global warming or “climate change” depending on whom you wish to offend but alas it has nothing to do with that particular cult of personality. It has to do with . . . wait for it . . . idiocy. Hey what can I say, our society gives me so much material that I do not really need to make shit up and this definitely is not fiction.

How else do you explain all of our bizarre behaviors? To me it is the only logical conclusion that due to the change in the amount of oxygen in our atmosphere it is somehow slowly killing our brains. While I would much rather it be zombies eating them it is nothing so gory or graphic; it is just boring old air.
