The following post has been written after a marathon sleeping session of 12 hours, and sounds the best if you read it outloud to yourself in a pseudo british accent - trainspotting style or something like that.

Scene: Man is lying on top of bed, sweety sheets wrapped around him, thin, very thin. The camera is above him, pointing downwards, spiraling towards him. When it gets close, he suddenly wakes up, sitting up in bed. breathing hard, eyes wild. Voiceover as he steps out of bed, and gets ready for the same life hes lived every day.

Okay, i think iv figured it out.

Figured what out?

Everything...

See the thing is, we have been trained and taught by hollywood to believe that everything will be okay, that life will end up perfect, that no matter how much of a fuckup you are at the end of the day the girl will be yours, you WILL make your mark in history, and youll be fucking good looking the whole time...

And then, we hit life.

See, the problem with life is real simple, if you fuckup things will get fuckedup and no they will not get any better. You will more then likely NOT get the girl. You will more then likely NOT make any mark on history whatsoever, and you are fucking ugly.

See, but thats not the revelation, the eipiphany, the fucking clouds didnt open up to tell me this.

The PROBLEM, is that there are now two types of people on this world. Those who are happy, and i dont mean they are brainwashes hapy or artificially happy or what not, they are GENUINLY happy, is because they accept life the way it is, fucked up and strange - and accept that as that. They dont look for the next best stepping stone beyond life because they know there is none so if they were to take the leap they would just jump and drown. Then, there are people like me and my present group of boys. See... now we have a little problem. Life sucks. We know that. We dont think it sucks for us. We know is sucks for everything. Where we are different from everyone else is - where they have realized that there is nothing you can do to make your life any better we think otherwise. We are not happy with the present state of affairs we have been shat into, and therefore we are CONSTANTLY looking for something better, a step up the ladder - the perfect girl, the perfect career, the perfect fucking haircut.

What we dont realize, is that there is no NEXT step, there isnt another rung on the ladder, there isnt another stepping stone in the pond, its just empty. So every time you jump, every time you try, youll be up there for a couple of milliseconds at best while you scramble around to keep your hold on what you later realize is absolutely thin air, and then come tumbling back down.

You know what happens then? youve glimpsed that bit of a better life... all two fucking milliseconds of it, so now your even MORE unsatisfied then before. And you think - goddammit, im gonna try again. etc etc etc.

So now, the key to being happy ladies, gentelmen and underage boys and girls, is to accept what God throws your way, instead of striving for what you want. Thats just the way it is.

Its not Apathy,

Its Life.


I see my life in 43 inches of plasma glory, i dream in killer camera angles and dolby surround sound. Screenplays, dialogue, and scripts make up the words coming out of my mouth. When you look at me, you see a person. When i look at you, i see an actor in the movie playing in my mind. Nothing personal.
