A Great Joy

There is a fundamental philosophical problem: "Why is there something instead of nothing?"

But there is.

And that's a great joy, regardless.

My Dinner at Applebee's With White Supremacists!

Funny article. Here.

Sad Fact About Humanity, No. 778392

More people will probably watch the Oscars than the election.

Maybe if Chris Rock hosted the election. And they had special guests.

Sorry For The Delay, Folks...

I have a very good reason for the delay, though.

I was captured.
Yes, there I was, minding my own business, when suddenly S.W.A.M. - Special Weapons Attack Mormons, as I was later to find out - captured me. But these were not ones working for Salt Lake, you see. These were working for the Freemasons.

Or so I thought.

Anyway, they tied me up, and brought me on a bright pink LearJet, which carried me to the Bermuda Triangle. I learned that parallel dimensions exist; we live in the "Florida" dimension. I was to go to the "San Juan" dimension.

There, I was brought before a horrible landscape - the sky was burning a bright red, winds blowing ashen clouds all around the landscape, but it was a blessed relief from what I saw on the ground- burning trees, weaping and gnashing of teeth, mothers pouring dirt and grime upon the floors, into the mouths of their grinnning skeleton babies, while reading an article in Natilopomsoc that suggested the same. They were waving to me as I passed, and the babies cooed, like the smooth melodies of Beethoven, if he were post-goth-industrial. In one house I saw, a man, naked except for a fedora, came in, clutching a bloody plastic bag. He pulled out a human head, flipped it upside down, and the gruesome family fed upon his neck stumps as if it were a trough. They wiped themselves with a bib afterwards. It reminded me of suburbia, except the houses were all made of dirty glass, dirtied by blood, sweat, tears, urine, and Mr. Clean. I learned this was the courtyard before the Castle-of-Chains, to be brought before The Flagellated King.

Then, a contraption was put over my head, not unlike a birdcage. Inside the Birdcage were two Qwerty's. To understand the Qwerty's, you must understand that every creature upon Earth is created by God, for survival and aesthetic - and even flies have a kind of sublime beauty.

Except for the duck-billed platypus. He is damned.

This creature had none of these qualities. The closest approximation can be a fly, of some sort, but with fur. Extensive razor fur, covering his eyes - the rest dripped black blood. I could tell when he blinked when the razor fur retracted.

The most horrible part about the Qwerty, was what I guessed to be its mouth. A long thin tube, not unlike a vacuum, came up, big enough for my eye. The last thing I saw was out of focus, although from the imprint it left around my eye, I could tell it was a jagged razors. Blessedly, I was shocked into unconsciousness.

I awoke to the Genocide-Ballroom. On the left and right sides of the right sides of the room, in perfect 2/4 time, cute Golden Retriever puppies were fed into grinders, as an orchestra played on, and what I guessed to be demons watched in Victorian outfits, applauded, wearing masks. One girl had her mask temporarily knocked off, because she had opted to 69 a eunuch.

Her face was beautiful, Mary Magadelene like, but the blood vessels popped, spraying in her eyes, which refused to blink. She fell down on the floor, as other eunuchs took her to the machines, to the cooing of the watchers.

Before this, I was always skeptical of claims that a single sight could drive a person mad. After all, shouldn't vice cops be madmen, then?

But upon seeing The Flagellated King and the Filth Queen, I'm grateful that I'm lucid.

The Filth King was around 8 feet tall, with seaweed rags enshrined with gold dust. She had six arms, all imitating obscene gestures of some sort - with her black marble skin, and eyes that resembled the lower parts of a women, which I will not speak of, as not to offend my readers. Her mascquara was foul feces. It had corn in it.

And the Flagellated King! It looked like a man, with a head and a body, but anything beyond that looked like something out of a really scary nightmare. The two horns coming out of the side of out its head, waving around, scarred around, never stopping. The crown (from which I could tell he was the King) was made of bones of children and little dogs and puppies. It had seven ridges, upon each was written a dirty word, "meecrob" being the most foul.

He wore a cape, made out of stapled together human flesh...of orphans! And babies! And orphaned babies! Underneath, there were skritching, scratching of a thousand unholy insects and a few holy ones...I could see the outline of a few hands, a few brave souls, trying to escape the unholy grasp of the Flagellated King. A few of them gave me the finger, and I could tell they were jerks.

His breathing, uneven and odd, came in, through lips chapped beyond all recognition. He sounded like his mouth had been cleaned with razors since he was a child, or a movie trailers dude.

He looked at me with his five pupils. He said.

"The qwerty poison is deep within you. Every part of you will be in pain, except for one - your eyes. But that's because you'll will already have gouged them out rather than see the insane delusions that the qwerty poison will unleash upon your soul! And then the really bad stuff will start!"

Leaning in, so I could see the hellfire deep within his eyes, he asked me, as no man has ever been asked, "So answer me this question, you may live on, unless you go insane! Completely batshit INSANE!"

I mouthed, "W-what?"

"DO YOU HAVE TWO DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS?"

I squeaked, "No."

"Oh. Okay."

He pulled back, and slapped me across the face. Everything went black.

I woke up in my room, lying prostrate on the floor, looking up at the floor. 11 days had passed.
I could tell because the S.W.A.M. had left a note.

I had a banana in my hand.

I noticed I had urinated in my pants.

Just A Linguistic Curiosity

Keep in mind, throughout this article, I am not a redneck hick. I am a liberal weeny.

That being said.

If you hate another race, you are a racist.
If you hate another gender, you are sexist.

But...

If you hate gay men, you are homophobic. Which means fear. Not hate.

Hmm.

My Obsession With Myself

I have a sign on my window. It says, "You are nosy." To remind people who look at my window that they shouldn't be focused on other people's lives, and to remind them.

But this is not passing judgement on them. I myself look out at other people's windows, to see what they are doing on their decks. Merely a glance.

Nothing has happened so far. But I will never know if my sign makes a difference. Never know if somebody will seek pleasure in knowing other peoples lives, instead of their own.

The reason for the title and the note is because everybody in the world wants to watch me.

Hah.

Cheap Sentiment

Extreme individualism is a crutch and an emotional defense.

After all, if no one's read or heard about it from people who have read it or even heard about the book you're reading, no one's going to criticize you.

Morality is Relative

So I'm watching "The Critic." The Critic is an animated sitcom by the creators of the Simpsons from 1994, right around when the show was at its peak. I'd recommend that you watch it. The first season was better, however. They introduced an annoying love interest in the second one to make Jay Sherman, as voiced by Jon Lovitz, more loveable.

Now, in the second season, Jay Sherman is recounting his time in the Middle East - Baghdad, during the first Gulf War. In a film parody of Green Acres, the women are all portrayed in burqas. Nothing is mentioned of it.

Now, we all know that those are horribly demeaning, making women feel invisible, and a symbol of male oppression - it was, perhaps, one of the reasons why Afghanistan was the "good war."

That, and bin Laden vengeance.

Why did the U.S. start to care about tyranny in the middle east?

Just a thought.

Osama bin Laden, I love you not.
Osama bin Laden, je tu n'aime pas.

My Cereal Epic

Every day, I have cereal. Special K. But not by choice.

I would prefer to have Vector, a high-impact sports nutritional supplement "x-treme" cereal. Tastes better.

Now, the cereal containers at my cafeteria never bothered to refill the Vector container. They just kept the Special K container.

The thoughts in my head grew quasi-revolutionary with every forced bowl of Special K. "Why don't you complain to someone? You CAN make a difference! If you'll only complain about it, something will be done! Be more assertive!" etc.

But another side said, "Ferget it. You'll look stooh-pid." So I said nothing.

Anyway, months later, they replaced it with this on-the-go cereal crap. Unfortunately, you have to pay extra for the milk now. Before, you did not.

There is no Vector cereal among the new choices.

I Need To See More People

Since these blogs are about ill-researched politics, partisan politics, or the mundanities that compromise western culture (and are celebrated by some) I'll choose the latter.

I am apolitical, you see.

Anyway. I have not seen the sun rise for a long time. Years. I used to get up at 6. Now, no sun. So far, Seasonal Affective Disorder hasn't affected me. Isolation has.

You know, extreme isolation is supposed to make people go crazy. I had trouble believing this, but in a series of actions make me believe that I have truly gone insane. I have only spoken three sentences in the past week to people. It's gotten crazy.

Anyway, on my desk/table, there are two bottles of Stewart's Fountain Classics Black Cherry sodie pop. One of them has days old tap water, the other, the last vital scraps of precious black cherry sodie pop that tortures me with the goodness. Now, when you drink things out of a bottle, there's always a tiny bit of liquid that stays behind in the ring of the bottle that everybody leaves.

Anyway, I took the swig of the days old tap water, listening to Johnny Depp as Hunter S. Thompson. The days old water tasted like it was days old.

I had to expel this dark, alien purity.

I thought about the other bottle, but that was a no go. That had a few precious black cherry soda left in it. I wanted to drink it.

Briefly, the thought of drinking it with the water still in the mouth, but then I thought, "My taste buds won't feel it." But I still had to expel this purity.

Luckily, I still had a Nestea lemon favour can in my room, which I had also neglected to throw out. It had iced tea in it, but I don't like iced tea as much.

Putting the can next to my mouth, I spit the water into the can, as the opening sucked it in like a drain. Now I was free to get the last precious drops of black cherry soda.

"I am a God," I said.

As I am typing this, I am briefly considering drinking the days old water again.

I am an internet addict also.
Je suis un intoxiqué d'internet.

Sounds classy, don't it?

Irony

I'm sitting here before my computer, thinking about my upcoming blog making fun of the author of a book I'm reading. The author is, "The Woman Warrior", and the author, I crap you not, lectures on creative writing at Berkeley.

While this is happening, I realize I am downloading the Communist Manifesto for my History class while listening to N.W.A.'s "Fight The Power."

Hah.

We Are All Going To Die

Atomic fire could incinerate us at any moment, and then poison the earth into ashes.

The rain is poisonous; the air toxic; the sea, black with oil we use to power our machines that let us use McDonalds Drive Thru.

We fight over sand and intangible ideals.

And then there's the meteor or other miscellaneous acts of God made by scientists who want to appear on the Discovery Channel.

Of all the generations in history, we have the biggest chance of ending it all. We could possibly be at the crux of time - we could fuck the planet up so much it won't work any more.

And yet we care about a sitcom star divorcing a pretty boy actor.

Anyone with a Ph.D. will tell you pop culture is lulling America to sleep.

But hey, isn't dying in your sleep the best kind of death?

Great Moments In The Internet...

Cindy from Alberta I'm a 15 year old canadian and I'm discusted with the music of my generation. I am a musician and presently play bass, piano, gutair, and I'm working on my drumming skills. The only thing I bother to play is this great music. The bass in all these songs is great and it contains great gutiar. Of coarse it isn't the most elaberate instramentals but when you add in the great vocals it's a winning C.D. It's a shame they didn't make it big but if your looking for a break from the modern pop crap that's out their this is the C.D. for you.
