I fell asleep. I took my eye off the ball. I succumbed, accepting one too many chunks of the token bullshit spewing out the teevee, I managed to convince myself I was happy, life was sweet, everything was great. It didn't last. It never lasts. Sometimes I wish it fucking would. I'm surrounded by people who can sleep through this shit, blissfully oblivious to the fact that the whole planet is slowly sliding off the edge of some intergalactic precipice, into an open sewer of epic proportions.

Not me. I can bury my head in the sand for only so long before I need to come up for air and, when I do, that air smells like bullshit. Oh fuck! I fell asleep again. And the scary thing isn't the impending doom. It's the fact that I'd do anything to be back there. In the land of nod. Addicted to gameshows and believing in politics and browsing the internets to find the lifestyle accessory that will, once and for all, make me truly complete.

Truth is I'm a happy idiot. The fact that the human race seems to be collectively sprinting toward it's own endgame actually appeals to me. It's funny goddamnit! The wars the disease the economic collapses and, above all, the monkeys that contributed to the whole ridiculous fiasco, sitting, neck deep in the shit they made, making stupid monkey faces and blaming everyone but themselves for the smell that's gradually chocking them to death. That's the fucking punchline right there folks. That's all I need.

I just wish I could stay awake long enough to really get my yucks in but I can't help thinking I'm going to be asleep beside everyone else when the hammer comes down. Everybody ends up falling for it. Everybody gets sucked in.

I'm up to my arse in Brexit Numpties, but I want more.  Target-rich environments are the new sexy.

More coffee.  More rage.  More laughing til your guts bleed. 

And this isn't the endgame, this is going to me more like the aftermath of the Trojan war or the fall of the Roman Empire.  The joke will take a 1000 years of darkness, but isn't that a small price to pay for a good punchline?

Yeah I guess you're right. My whole problem with the end of the world is I'm overly optimistic about seeing it happen in my lifetime. Truth is the world will never end - it'll just plod on and on getting progressively worse for fucking ever.

Sorry about the pissweak quality of the rant - it's been a while. Still in the process of waking back up. Still half asleep.

BTW - what the fuck made you decide to change the avatar? I never thought I'd live to see the day.

Balls.  The world is a much better place to live in now that it was 50 years ago, and a HELL of a lot better than 100 years ago...Sentimental movies aside, the Victorian age was the worst time for the average Joe to be alive, ever.  Things really aren't that bad, by any reasonable comparison.  However, there ARE also many, many more monkeys running around, and they DO commit atrocious deeds of villiany and stupidity, and they must be punished.

I didn't find it to be pissweak.

I just got a hair up my arse the other day.  Even considered changing my user name, but decided against it.

Been thinking about Rome a lot lately. Can't help making the comparison. At the end rome had devoted about half the year to games (the ancient equivalent of teevee) Nowadays we don't devote whole months to it but every day we prolly take in 4 hours on average - soma sales are up. Borders are overextended, barbarian terrorists and insurgents are causing problems in the outlying provinces ... empire has to fall soon. Surely?

Then what? will it be the same as before? Operation landgrab? Birth of some new retarded superstition in a vain attempt to hold it all together with brute stupidity? I wonder about these things but the truth is it's all speculation. Fall empire, fall! I wanna see what happens next :evil:

Naw.  We'll fall to desertification before we rot enough for the Visigoths to do their thing...I mean, speaking as a world-wide culture.  America will outlast Asia and Europe (your land isn't turning into a desert, but the people who ARE fucking up their land won't just sit still and starve).  The UK might be saved by the channel and some good old fashioned fascism, but only for a while.  America will dodder on for a while, until it collapses from decay.

I'm gonna miss painless dentistry, though.

I'll miss a lot of things, including the last 30 years of my life but fuck it - the question is too big. It needs answered.

Besides, its fun to watch shit come crashing down.

Hell yeah! Much more so than watching it gradually rot over a period of millenia.

It's all a matter of personal taste.  Personally, I prefer a slow, rolling collapse.  You can appreciate all the little details that way.

Easter Island, for example, was probably funnier than Pompeii.

I guess so. I'm just a sucker for things that splodey and burn and make loud noises. Little details are wasted on me.

You can have BOTH!

For example, you may notice that there are lots of things that explode and burn and make loud noises.

Our economies, for example.
