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’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

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.

Just Let It Go

How many times have you been told that? Okay maybe not in those exact words but you catch my drift right? We could throw out the old “we can agree to disagree” but meanwhile, back at the ranch there is still a huge Elephant in the center of the room. I do not want to fix the world, nor do I wish to change it, I merely want people to think in general. Have we become so polarized that we can not see anything at all, even if it is right in front of our very noses?

We all want to be heard; we all want our thoughts and beliefs to be respected. I can not force anyone to think like me nor can they do the same to me. It is one of the most precious gifts in our lives, that of having our brains. Somehow though after millions of years (give or take 6,000 years), we still do not know how to use them properly. This is not implying that I do and that you don’t, it is just a statement.

I need this; I want that, get it and get it now. These words are not the words of a child, though you would think that at first glance. No, these are words spoken by grown men and women; some my age, some much older but adults nonetheless. Of course this then gets deflected unto me due to my snarky response and of course for calling them on their rudeness. I would even accept a, “Can I” even though it should be “May I”. I would, like I said, accept this over the previous statement or should I say demands.

I grow weary of this life. I do not say this in a suicidal way but in a disheartened one. I fear and pity the future. For a while I wore those rose colored glasses and thought we were doing better, only to realize that I wasn’t truly paying attention. We all make that mistake and some live their entire live under that rosy dome. Read more…

For Those That Didn’t Make It Home

I sold my field and bought a gun
Told to fight a battle, which no one ever won
Blood ran in the water, it followed the setting sun
In the trench I sit, until this hell is done

We left our families in the name of a higher cause
Attacking with a vengeance, a pack of wolves on four paws
Men were really boys back then, beside me, they broke like straws
Freedom is in the mind my friend, not in governments controlling laws

They came home in boxes, lined up row by row
There is a field of white crosses where truly I think only grass should grow
Not in vain I say to thee but loss of life should not be quick, but very, very slow
Duty calls to some or it can be a big forced hand; either way, how were any of them know?
