I liked how they introduced her, like "her mother died in an insane asylum thinking she was Queen Victoria" and my thought was, I like where I think this is going. I was not disappointed.

You don't look so hot.

So, what's wrong, man?

You're looking a bit pale and worn. A little tired and dragged out. "Fagged out" for our friends in the  inbred no-chin commonwealths.

Now, I know we can't be up all the time, but you're just plodding along, and have for some time now. Where's your pep? Where's your vim and vigor?

Here I've been hopping up and down making an idiot out of myself, which I don't mind at all, because it usually gets you going. But lately, you just seem so, I don't know, maybe depressed?

What is it, all the fighting and stuff? I know. That's a drag.

But look, it happens sometimes, and now it's over. So what do you say we YANK your fucking HOG TIED THUMBS out of your ASSES and DRAG you down the street NAKED. Huh? How about we SET FUCKING FIRE TO YOUR HAIR? Would You WAKE UP then?

Where's your DISCORDIAN RETARD RAGE? Jesus (not you, get back to work), you're like those monkeys in the neutron bomb experiments. Dosed with a fatal blast of neutrons that they COULDN'T DETECT and they just turned off and waited to DIE.  Or maybe that guy that got shot on 4th last week.  One measley hole in the head, and he fucking just FELL DOWN.

WAKE UP. KICK ME. SCREAM. KILL ME.  TEACH ME WHAT LOVE IS, ON THAT SIDE OF TOWN, WHERE THE MUTANTS BUSK AND OTHERWISE RATIONAL ADULTS DRINK THE BLOOD OF THE UR-MOTHER!

UNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!  AAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE!

Or Kill Me.

It occurs to me that doubling up on the sleeping pills may be having some kind of effect.

Its trench warfare is what it is, Roger.

We're supposed to have moved past this sort of thing. Our technology has gone screaming ahead and we're all scurrying along behind, trying to apply old ways of working to new situations. We've been screaming and shouting and hooting and hollering for years, Roger. What has it gotten us?

The Machine grinds on, nothing seems to change for the better, and no matter how much you bellow, nobody is listening.

So excuse me, Sarge, if I'm starting to get a little washed out at this stage in the game. It feels like we've been trapped fighting over the same six feet of ground for five years. So much blood has been spilt over it, so much more is going to be spilt over it, and none of us on any side can conceive of how we might start to stop the conflict.

We need something new, Rog. We need a new way of going forward. Something which we can achieve. Something that feels like a victory to get our spirits up. I remember grinning like a loon during the MysticWicks shenanigans; sure, it was a tiny little victory, but to me, making those asshats eat their keyboards and bawl kept me giggling for days afterwards.

And those are the little ones. On a bigger scale, we're losing the argument. This is a time where people are finally starting to see the cracks in the system; 40% of Americans, according to the latest poll, are against Capitalism as it currently works. 40% of people in America are prepared to say, actually, they think they are getting fucked in the ass.

But I don't know how we transfer our message, our anger, into a force which causes change. I don't even know where I would need to hit to make the system shake. We can talk and talk and talk at one another, but what does that achieve?

Maybe I'm just talking for myself. Maybe I need to go and try to butt heads at a forum full of DPs or Evangelicals or something to get my heat back. But I'm tired of spitting things up here and finishing up thinking... 'well, that was great, but now what?'
I had an existential crisis and all I got was this stupid gender.

Hours and hours and hours of enjoyment.  At least in my case.

I am here to ENJOY THE RIDE.  I am not here to SAVE THE WORLD, mostly because I CAN'T, you can't save ANYBODY except maybe yourself, and getting wrapped around the axle about the world's problems will only STEAL YOUR SLACK™.

Every time you look at the news and see some grinning bastard talk about the glories of the Free Market™ and it makes you so mad you throw shit at the TV, then makes you so depressed you sleep for the rest of the day, They have taken your Slack™.

Every time you stand there wishing you had the guts to EXPLODE IN A FURY OF RIGHTEOUS RETRIBUTION, but instead just fart and get on the bus to work, They have stolen your Slack™.

Stop giving them your Slack™.  You can't affect the fate of millions, but you CAN affect YOURSELF and THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU, by being a walking example of the things They hate to see.  Sneer at a bigot.  Tell the office neocon to STFU for once.  Be NICE to nice people.  Don't stand by while someone gets shat on.  Learn to say "No" to people with power.  Smite assholes when they need smiting, and be as pleasant as possible to those who don't.  These are all things you can do to make the world a better place.

If you wander around moping that YOU didn't SINGLE-HANDEDLY stop The Machine™, then They have you right where they want you, so paralyzed with dispair that you can't do anything at all other than punch the clock.

If you want a better world, BE A BETTER PERSON.  Not everyone gets to be Ghandi or MLK to a nation, BUT EVERYONE GETS TO BE ONE TO THE PEOPLE AROUND THEM, IF THEY CAN JUST BRING THEMSELVES TO DO IT.

And that's all there really is to it.  That's the point of all my ranting and hate-shitting and stomping around.  It isn't to raise an insurrection and get everyone killed or detained, it's to REMIND PEOPLE TO BE THE BEST HUMAN THEY POSSIBLY CAN and thus LEAD BY EXAMPLE.

Or Kill Me.

Fuck, I needed this thread so much. This post has given me the impetus to get my ass up, take my meds (the right way), stop attention-whoring on PD and go back to fixing my goddamned mess.

When were you attention whoring?

Goofing is not "attention whoring".  And when you DO talk about your life, you vent in clearly-marked threads that can be avoided by anyone not interested.

Hell, I just got doused in soda ash & water this morning1.  Does talking about that make me an attention whore?



1 Pics of TGRR looking like he's just been through a Warren Ellis Godzilla bukakke episode ARE for sale, but they are NOT cheap.

Don't make me post pics of my ass again.

But seriously, thank you. I'm sometimes my own harshest critic.

Please don't.  One of my gonads shot into my sock last time, and it took hours to tease it back up where it belongs.

Yes, that would be bad. Nobody wants that. Definitely don't do that.

And to you, Good Reverend, I can only say this: Enjoying the ride is prohibited. We are aware that a certain subsection of the populous has a problem with this. But we assure you that these restrictions are in place solely for your protection.

If everyone went around "enjoying the ride", then where would we be? Anarchy! Confusion! FUN! Do you want to be responsible for that? DO YOU!?

So what?  We'll ALL be in jail by this time next year, for reasons that they won't have to tell us about.

You may as well get hanged for something you DID, right?  I mean, they're going to hang us all ANYWAY, because it is now IMPOSSIBLE to get through a SINGLE DAY without committing a felony, unless you're in a persistent vegetative state of some kind, and even THEN, there's probably some tax issue or other.

When you are BORN a criminal, when you can't go ONE HOUR without breaking a law, then the law is USELESS, and all you have left to navigate by is your morals and ethics.  Personally, in this age of overcomplicated, useless laws, I merely follow the Enabler Code.

The Enabler Code can be summarized as "Which behaviors will help ensure that Enabler will continue to want to have sex with me?"  It's actually a pretty good barometer to judge how to act.
