Heather and Frank missed The Great Coffee House Incident...But that's all they missed, and they ain't coming back. Despite all the lies I told them about Fayetteville, they left anyway. Imagine that...they did not listen to their spiritual advisor. Oh, well...I may have lied to them, but they will learn the hideous truth soon enough.
But that leaves me alone in The Badlands. A town full of the broke, the desperate, and the soon to be broke and desperate. It's easy to see how bad the economy is, here; we lost 50,000 jobs in October/November alone, and there's only 500,000 people in the city proper. Anyone who CAN leave is hauling up stakes and fleeing across the desert, looking for a place where the rising water is still just a rumor.
But not me. This is my city, and for good or for ill, I will ride her down in flames. I will stomp and shit and puke blood all over this miserable hellhole until either I bust a vein, or someone actually kills me. Most people, at least the people around me, do not understand this. For example, Coffee Bean asked me why the hell I don't pull up stakes and move somewhere with more vegetation and less meth heads. What could I say? That sometimes you have to see the failure up close, to really see The Truth? That a meaningless white bread suburban existence is not only a lie in these times, it's a BORING lie.
Then there's the fact that this place gets into your blood (not unlike syphilis). Once you've lived in the high desert, it's very hard to leave...not because you LIKE the place, but because you literally can't leave. It's like someone turned up the fucking gravity, and we're all stuck to the ground with our faces all mashed flat, helplessly pooping on the carpet.
I have spoken in the past about The Lost Highway. Well, this is where that highway ends. This is the place where DREAMS COME TO DIE. These are The Badlands, and may God have mercy on our souls...because the high desert won't.
Or Kill Me.
The area you live would be gorgeous, if it weren't for all the fucking people.
Still just as deadly though.

The reaction was kind of funny. Is he trolling?

I gave that up a while ago, but that's what a troll would say, huh?
So you admit you were trolling here?

Of course he is. He does this every time he returns. He picks one or more of my threads, and starts shit. Then he gets all butthurt when nobody helps him "FIGHT THE POWER" and he leaves for 4 months.
Rinse, repeat, same old tired shit, time after time after time.
The question is not whether he's a dipshit, but whether he really believes the vomit coming out of his mouth.

It was more of a matter of going on every few months to see if you guys were on anything new. Its usually just anger about peoples liberties being "stolen". I like your posts requiem. You get a nice variety of topic coverage reading your stuff and it can be angry, yet doesnt sound whiny, which is common here. Nothing in particular angers me enough to rant and im not much of a poet. So i lurk until i find something worthy of praising.

As far as your threads are concerned Roger, they dont need to be criticized. They may be worthy as pieces of art and you get your mittens, but if someone disagrees you cant seem to converse logically about it. That's fine. I wont read them for their content.

I don't give a fuck what you do, asshole. You start shit every time you show up, and it's not "criticism", though you now qualify for the Nobel Prize for Passive/Aggressive Bullshit.
Just go your own fucking way, and do not feel the need to read or post in my threads at all. Is that simple enough for you?
Do not bother responding. You aren't worth the pixels.
your hostility is what makes your rants great Roger, seriously. Keep hating
