Leave the Basement - Rant 5

[Zurtok Khan]

*this ones for you Roger*  

Every day people are straying away from church and going back to God.
-Lenny Bruce

Things that are done, it is needless to speak about...things that are past, it is needless to blame.
-Confucius

The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out. Every mind is a building filled with archaic furniture. Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it.
-Dee Hock


Or, I suppose I should say, every day people are leaving their parents basements and finding themselves.  That is, of course, hopelessly optimistic, but nonetheless it is the way i feel about the whole damn thing.

We often tie ourselves to circumstances, for no real reason.  We say (or are told) that this is the way it is.  It cannot be another way.  The world you live in must be purified, bacteria are evil.  Whether of the spirtual or mental kind.  But, most people do not look for the good in such a thing.  Bacteria are everywhere, and not all of them cause sickness.  I regress.

Circumstances are the product of our own choices.  Not anyone else, not the universe (it doesn't give a shit about a piece of semi-sapient carbon running amok in a back water galaxy).  You have the power to change them, or become a leach on to other people because you choose not to do what needs to be done.  Because you are too weak, or too lazy, or whatever your exuse is.

It is time to pick yourself up off your ass and get out of your computer chair or off the couch and go find a way to change the circumstances you have found yourself in.  Either the conditions or your perception.  You are the only one with the power to free yourself from the bonds in which you have been put (by yourself, of course).  You - not God, not Eris (although you may or may not be Eris or God, so that is up to debate).

Ghengis Khan said, "The only Good is a Done Thing."  The only satisfaction comes doing something, something with a purpose, or something without one.  If you wonder why you so often feel so angry and vulgar, take a look at what you've done, or haven't done (either in the "enlightened" zen fashion or not), and consider if you have done anything.  If you have not created the Good of a Done Thing, then you ought to give it a try.  I'm sure Mommy and Daddy won't mind, they'd like you to get out of their basement and stop spending their money.

But, that is not enough.  You should leave your church of self oppression, the feelings that you have about yourself on the inside.  If they are the kind that limit you, then you should go to find God within yourself.  S/He is there, I promise...since I was the one who stuck him in your ear.

Is that why I have an ear ache?

[Horab Fibslager]

3/10, for the "leaving your basement" bit.

Keep that, demolish the rest, build another rant around it. Not enough beef on that bone, junior.

I believe thats what you said after my last rant...

Yeah, but this one didn't have the good quote.

It's like a Camry with the transmission ripped out.

Yeah well, its Zurtok. Not much can be said aside from the fact that he's got a bitchin case of Down's Syndrome.

Does this mean you're going to be raping me soon, Fnordie?  Since, as I believe I said earlier, YOU are the one that rapes tardo's (of course, I said innocent at the time, but Tardo's was implied).

I also fail to see what good bringing up my old rants does?  I mean, I enjoy reading them again (In a way it's mental masturbaition), but I didn't realize you were such a fan of mine.

Of course, with you in posse, I wish it to be disbanded.

Lots of people with Down' syndrome are productive members of society.  Just saying.

Rape you? Someone needs to introduce your sorry ass to the concept of leagues. And I definitely never said anything about me raping anything. Are you really this stupid?

No, but I mentioned you raping innocent Tardo's.  I'm only playing by your rules, you know.  I just read what I want out of your statements.  Normally I'd actually READ them, but I figure it's best to stoop down to your level and beat you there.

[Shibboleet The Annihilator]

Yeah, once again:
