Get that thing out of my face!
Bad Programming
I actually watched back to back infomercials
last night, finding them to be educational
and intriguing, and was impressed enough that
I found myself calling up their 800 numbers to
request brochures, and . . .
it was like discovering a cancerous lump
on my soul.

never eat anything larger than your head
Tom Brown (1)
Tom Brown, in a reflective, alcohol induced
state of mind, told my father . . .
“I was over in the forest preserve yesterday,
looking for a place to bury Linda”
my dad was confused, because Linda was Tom’s
wife of 20 some years, and they had three
healthy kids, a nice home, and their whole
lives ahead of them, so my dad made some
light remark to dismiss such madness, but
Tom, a good, decent guy who all of the
neighbors liked, just gave my dad a glazed-over
look, then went back inside the house, to what
had to be a great and disturbing secret world
of festering darkness, unknown to the
superficial lightness of suburbia, and . . .
he never killed her
like so many other decent, ordinary people,
Tom resigned himself to an occasional, lonely
and agonized stroll through the woods, lamenting
over what may have been if he was just a little
bit stronger or weaker a man.

eat shit and die
Going Up
I saw a couple of dead people in
the elevator today
lying side by side with sheets covering
their bodies, but for the foot of the
woman on the right, who had a gold
bracelet on her slim ankle, and . . .
I got the feeling she had been an
intelligent and compassionate person
who had surely left many good friends
and lovers behind, only to be stuck
in that elevator with another dead
person she didn’t even know, making
me realize that . . .
the more things change
the more they remain the same.
why does man run when he can walk? why does man live when he can choose to die? it is simple. it is because of time. man wants his time to last long and wants as much as he can. that is why man will run or live. it is a simple choise that affects us all. time.

Either lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
website I've found out that the only reason there is so much crime in this world is because so many people is bent on gaining superiority over each other. No-one wants to be the worst, no-one is willing to be equal with the rest of the world. Everyone wants to be better than everyone else.
So that means if you take away the need for superiority, then you take away the driving force of all the world's crime. If you take the need of superiority, you create world peace.

"I matter just as much as the president...im human." - annonymous
someitmes, i wish i were blind. for the world i see today is not the world i saw yesturday. being blind would give me a chance to view my world as some of the few people who are blind can. the way it was ment to be seen.
the world may be full of colors, but that doesnt mean its beautiful. those who are colorblind must think im crazy. sure, i like colors fine. but i like my world diferent then everyone else.
at school, im always random, weird, and a fun person to be around im sure. but thats only because i express my self different then everyone else.
most people dont see everyones true beauty but are blinded by their clothes or hair os shoes or something. thats not how the world is supposed to be seen.
if you were blind, you'd be able to see that more clearly than anyone.
and though your physical world would be dark, your friends, hope, and love for everyone will give you the light to see life the way it was ment to be seen.
God didnt intend for albert einstien to unfold the famous equation "E=MC sq." he just unravled one of earth's mysteries.
but because we unravled a mystery that was supposed to remain hidden, the nuclear bomb was conceived.
he saw the world as something to pick and pry at till it opened all his secrets.
many scientists do. they want to understand, fix, solve.
but they lie. they are blind, true, but blind to the wrong things.
they have a cure for cancer but do not give it because it is too expensive. they are blind to reality. they came up with that cure to save epople's lives but by not giving it out, people still die.
life should be free, so why should we pay to survive?
they are blind to the good things in life that should be seen, not shunned.
so why do i still wish to be blind? because, what they see is what i have become to see and because of that, i dont want to see it. again, i like being different. and if that means standing alone for my own thoughts, belifes, and personal rights, then so be it.
i'd rather be blind than see the mess people have created for themselves.
