Dear friends...

[AFK]

I don't know man.  I don't know how much longer I can watch all of the craziness without vomiting my intestines.  There is just so much bat-shit crazy coming from all angles, crawling out from every rock and pebble.  Maybe there has always been dumbshit stupid surrounding us and the internet and 24-hour cable "news" stations just make it more obvious.  I dunno.  It just seems like someone turned it up to 11 and broke the fucking knob off.

I feel like whatever shred of faith I had in the future is inches away from the gaping, razor-toothed maw of hopelessness.  It's like nobody has no damned clue of what they are talking about.  Everyone is getting their information from "experts" who are getting their information from their staffers who are just copying and pasting shit from wikipedia.  Nobody has a fucking clue.  And the few that due, are marginilized. 

This shit just isn't going to end well.  And it seems like it is only when everything is asunder that there will be agreement.  But everything is already fucked.  I think the new Dark Age has started.

Well, there really is no hope (Fact is, as bad as PD has gotten recently, that's not a patch on the real world.  For example, nobody here has tried to kill you and your kids over a fucking bumper sticker...no shit).  The real world is going to hell, and the only consolation is that it's always been going to hell, and still hasn't actually managed to get there.

YES.

There's a point I reach where I don't want to complain, I don't want to be morose and hopeless about the future. But...WHAT future?

We've covered the planet, we've hoarded all that's worth hoarding and now just trying to balance on top of the pile while shoving off anyone that comes close, we're at the point where even the time-honored tradition of invading other countries for fun and profit is passe, uninteresting, humdrum.

Where is the frontier? Where do we reach out with our bodies and hearts to discover and create and build?

It's no shock to me that kids try to get as high as quickly as possible, having been one of them. What possibilities can they unlock beyond Good Credit? They have all the information they need at their fingertips AND WHAT DO THEY FUCKING NEED IT FOR?

[Doktor Howl]

YES.

There's a point I reach where I don't want to complain, I don't want to be morose and hopeless about the future. But...WHAT future?

More to the point, where's my alien/android girlfriend?  Where's my goddamn vacation on the moon?

[Thurnez Isa]

YES.

The androids just turned out to be teapartiers and your vacation to the moon a new brand of meth

See, this is BULLSHIT.  This is NOT MY FUCKING FUTURE.

Take it back.

I still have the shred of faith.  I have to.  I've got these two kids who have to live in it after I kick the bucket.  I guess, maybe, the faith, hope, whatever, is that it at least allows them to live the kind of life I've been able to live where I've managed to carve out a little niche of happiness.  But then again, they'll probably have kids.  

I mean, fuck, this shit is so insane that the GEICO announcer just got canned because he said shit about the fucking Tea Party.  

Who the fuck cares what the GEICO guy thinks or says?  

[Thurnez Isa]

does this mean we longer save 15% on car insurance?

[Doktor Howl]

They'll have to muddle along, just like we did.  My kids pay too much attention to the state of things, and they have announced their intention to beat me when I'm old.

That's some funny shit.  Do you perchance have a link?

No, now you get a brick through the window.

Christ, what an asshole.

It's almost as if the entire human race is composed of self-centered out of control monkeys.
