Do not give me your candy-coated bullshit about "love does strange things to people". I am sick to death of seeing good friends of mine made into wallowing, pathetic wastes of space because someone dumped your ass! There are eight billion people on this rock, and because one three years from your last fling left you don't make it WW3 up in here. Quit floundering. Get an abortion, go about your bloody business, grab a shake, and write a book or summat.

Send me links to your most unique artists or pictures, and I will be grateful. I want to rekindle this art. I have other reasons other than the muse as to why I am uninspired lately, but that's being saved for a HUGE rant coming about later on. It will not be a pretty one.

Anyhow, gimme your art people. Prease.

Friends came by to see me at work today, which I thoroughly appreciate. But afterwards--after going back to the daily grind of mocking the Imagine series on the DS, telling folks we don't carry Zhou Zhou pets, and trying to bribe the back room guys to let me ride the cherry-picker through the store, I had a mental shut-down. All at once, several things dawned on me: I wasn't putting my degree to use, and my parents more than likely see my as a waste of their once-collaborative efforts. I haven't written anything well-received in a very long time, and my art and lit muse are on extended hiatus. It snowballed until one thing led to another, and I was esoterically in a philosophical snow-globe state of depression, with a nihilistic jacket on. My co-worker, Nick, constantly says "same shit, different day" and it hit my like a train in a tunnel how much sense it made--as simple as that sounds. I mean, by being full-time, I'll have more than enough money for FC in January, as well as other things later on...but is it enough to sacrifice precious free time that could be spent on writing and creating and job-hunting? For now, I guess. Not much else to do home anyhow--can't write, can't draw, the piling mess is already depressing me, whathaveyou. Everything felt circular and tired and pointless, like playing into some ancient scheme that's been going on under your nose for three eternities.

For a few hours, I couldn't help but walk very slowly, speak quietly, and look noticeably lost.

I cheered up [much later on] by reassuring meself that I would die if I didn't find a job where my creativity was a thing of importance, rather than my ability to argue one video game system from the next. Or a way to combine the two. Either way, Mr. and Mrs. Target Shopper are not my concern--it is only a sidetrack to get by for now.

Today, the electronics counter; tomorrow, the world, Pinky. I cleaned the damn X-Box case and continued humming Creature Feature, which was stuck in my head when I got out of bed earlier.



Happy Birthday to , by the way. We'll go have fun today, promise.

Clerk: Would you like to become an organ donor?
Me: No, thank you.
Clerk: ...You wouldn't? It's, um, for a good cause...
Me: I'm sorry, my religion doesn't allow me to leave my organs to the unworthy.
Clerk: Oh! Well...
Me: I mean, really--you wouldn't give your heart to just ANYONE, would you? *say I, with a shit-eating grin*

Notebooks/shirts marketed towards girls that say "Sweet" on them. So! What makes you sweet, you false advertisement? Is it the fact you love puppies and kitties, or the fact that you willingly suck more high school dick than a Catholic priest? And because you are a girl, does that automatically give you the right to think you're god's gift to men?? Or that you might become the best parent on the planet?? Fuck you're being sweetness and light! Get the hell outta my store! Take you and your face and pack up them pink underwears with words on the butt, and hit the bricks! Geez.

Lately, I feel like I can't do anything right. Job-searching, mending things, managing various relationships, managing money, keeping the peace--things look dim on a grand scale. Making mistakes is part of life, oh gracious yes! But I tend to beat myself up when I do, being as I try to avoid confrontation as best as I can. Marcy's nice to chat with on these kinds of issues, but...as a family member, she's wired to say stuff to perk me up. Well, I see through her tricks. Clever lady.

Thank gawd for a break this weekend, in going to Tennessee with my dad and said step-mom. I'll be hawking around an olden Winchester rifle, and a break-action Stevens Company shot gun. Maybe shooting the life out of some innocent creatures will be my momentary umbrella.

And by innocent creatures, I mean beer bottles and cans set upon dead tree trunks....but I'll be aiming for any other wildlife I run into. Fuck Bambi.

Fuck feeling like canned, wholesale shit, while I'm at it.

And fuck most else, I need a drink.

If you like my dorky postcards, drop me a note with your address, and I'll honor you with some poorly-written description of the surrounding countryside where I was born, and whether or not I blew off my foot with my gun on accident. Later, cats--I'm goin' shooting.

P.S. I've been alerted that this is my problem. XD

But I won't complain.

Why can't creative fields of employment have more opportunities? I swear ta gawd, I've applied to every freelance writing agency in this area, and not a word from any of 'em. Why should writing entertainment for money be so damned difficult? And same for my artist mates, why the hell can't there be better business in this gig? I REFUSE to move away for better job ops, that's giving up right there, mate. In it to win it, U.S or no.

I need only make enough to get by on, and to do something simple without worrying about stifled funds, like buy my best mate some fucking concert tickets. I just want to be more comfortable with cash, but what red-blooded human doesn't? Having a degree is like an add-on in this nonsense, not an advantage. Must get more resources.

Sigh. Fucking job searching is not turning up anything good. Especially when you get rejected from another video game culture position.

Self-respect is fine, but you are not a shining star, nor a beautiful and individual snowflake. You are a revamped, carbon copy of several million bodies before you. Compared to the infinite will of the universe, you are a fucking speck of dust. And so am I, we won't play favorites.

Don't hate someone without a decent reason [ex. if they are socially fickle, abusive, untrustworthy, stole your bike]...not just because they hang out with someone you don't like for what is probably a petty reason...

If you must be withdrawn, make it only for personal reasons, like trying to minimize conflict. PLEASE. To those you are close to. Be HONEST with them. Don't lead anyone on, back-talk uselessly, or make up stories about yourself to seem impressive.

And for chrissakes, if it ain't yours, give it back. Shit.





I'm really fed up with hearing about all this nonsense occurring with my associates. I oughta become a hermit sometime.

Been sick in various spurts, and consequently allowing the messages and missed calls/messages on my phone to build, so forgive my lack of promptness on returning the calls to those that are concerned. Plus, attempting to get the house in order, cleaning, battling sleeplessness, entertaining guests from out of town, and any other adlepated responses you can think of. So if I am supposed to be meeting with you under any circumstances, by all means, abuse my message machine, and badger me until the dust of my fragments can pick up a phone and call you back.

No sign of whether or not I really and truly graduated...I participated in the ceremony and all the usual bangs and whistles, smoke and mirrors, but my Spidey senses continue to warn me of impending doomage. No real word on the matter until the 20th--my brain seizes with anticipation, so pardon me if I become a clinical vegetable for a while.

January is serving as a resting/regenerating month for me. The school schedule that work is used to is keeping until further notice, so it's a mite like an extended vacation. Thankfully, home holds a lot of lovely distractions to keep my mind off of what would be conceived as horrible predictions about the future, so the chances of going completely off the deep end are slim to nil. I am deeply enjoying my little slice of time off from what the locals call "the drudge of everyday life". We like to keep things interesting--especially when it involves drinks and Wario Ware on Gamecube. In a short while, I should be visiting in Tennessee, land of my birth, littering the ground with buckshot from a 20-gauge. Fuck yeah, I'm going shooting with dad.

My room is a cluster of battered, nostalgic loot. If I ever get any time to clean and go through it, I'll eat my hat. With maple syrup, no less.

Lest I forget, my new year's resolution [while drinking eggnog and rum] was to drive a flaming truck through a wall of ice cream.

The house is even more different that last year: the deck has been repaired and painted, the yard dotted with flowery evidence of a Sears catalogue. The downstairs den is all old-style France and daybeds with quilts on them. My old room has been lifted of carpet with hard wood floors and painted gery-green, porcelin dolls lining a cabinet that holds dishes never to be eaten upon. All the rooms still feel cold, no matter how many ancient blankets you're under.

Watching A Christmas Story with dad and Jen made me wonder about why I hate christmas so much--used to a be a blast when you're a kid, everything was surreal and glowing. As an adult working in retail, you see all the tricks of the trade, and it's no longer madical and family-oriented; just business and money and making others happy. What a shame that things should end this way! The gaudiness of christmas is a huge let-down. But there is still one that that stops me in awe each year: well-done christmas lights.

Graduation has come and gone, but I have no idea yet if I even really passed--we are allowed to walk in the ceremony, but degrees don't get mailed out until three weeks post graduation. Therefor, if professors have not posted senior grabs, no one can clarify passing a course. Thus, my delimma--did I pass? Did I not? Fuuuuuck.

And now, as I wait my fate, it's vacation time--time to try and get some rest, eat sleeping pills, travel where I'm gaurenteed a place to stay, and keep working.

Time for bed.

Merry whatever. Keep yourselves up, and keep your heads off your shoulders. I will do my best to do the same.

And yet, something really doesn't seem right. Sneaky suspicions abound, and are plentiful. At the very least, my loved ones seemed proud of me [for scraping by by the skin of my teeth], and dad gave me the honor of doing the Walter Huston "I found the gold" dance.

Nothin' but school and work and priorities. When I AM up to it, I just don't have any socialization energy, making most people pretty angry with me. Gets me to wondering if things will actually change after graduation. IF I graduate. Jeesuz christ, there are no surprises, and I'm sick to death of being wrong all the time. Perhaps I hold people too accountable.

Took three sleeping pills the other day, and still woke up several times. Must be building a tolerance to 'em.

Art's down, writing's down, and my drive to do anything is exceedingly low. I have no idea what should be done about this. Would something surprise me already?!

Anyhow, there is this show called "Exiled"--takes spoiled, bratty teens and their perfect lives--parents are tired of pampering them, so their little butts get sent to a remote region, usually rather third-world, to live with another family, and learn to use their hands. Work hard, that kinda universal thing. So I watch with Kenneth today--a princess-y chick gets sent to Norway, to aid a reideer-herder family in their seasonal rounding up; 10 below, deer-skin coats, tents, snow-mobiles, the works. I watch, and I get jealous.

Why wouldn't anyone want to enjoy another culture, and learn about a family NOT in America? I'd relish that shit! What's so uncool about knowledge on something besides matching pastels, babies, mocachinos, and lipsticks? Aside from that, why spoil your child so much they don't even know how to pack a suitcase?? We don't seem to be able to do much besides take up space, nurture, and make things look pretty. Colossal fail.

My old instructor, Dr. Paddock; I forget what an interesting lady she was. Frazzled, gold-white hair, tired but cheerful, always in a sweater, khaki skirt, tights and running shoes. She helped me immensely with finding old writers whose names I couldn't remember for the life of me, including the Native American guy whose style is JUST like mine. Her office a tiny, sunless hole, she still had the kindness to let me have an old text book of hers, and to give me two more when she brings them to school next. So I spoke about what writing I was up to, and she wanted to here more on my play about medical oddities. She was so fascinated by the idea, she even suggested me writing to the musician that inspired the idea for me about where he got his information.

Tom Waits would punch me in the face, then smoke my right index finger. ;_; I can't write to him.

No one cares about your racist remarks on Obama--accept that there's a 50% black guy in the white house now, and until he steps out of a pope-mobile and gets assassinated by neo-nazi scumbags like you and your family, he's gonna be there. I'm just glad that McCain is not in the white house, because he was the greater of the two evils.

No one cares. About putting clothes on your tiny, bite-sized dogs. Only lifeless women with crow's feet over 40 do. Quit that. Don't act like everyone ought to be doing the same things you are.

And certainly, no one gives three dove-tailed SHITS about your new relationship, either. So you're pleased about it? Acknowledge, and move on. Stop asking for comment hand-outs on "how cute you look together". Go have a tacky cocktail party about it with your female cohorts, and stop writing about it like you're god-damned Mark Twain of romance. Since when do you get a badge of honor for "overcoming single life"?! I'll never understand the secret, wicked joy others get from trying to make everyone feel like dog-shit. I didn't segregate my friends from my dude and I when I was dating, and I wouldn't do it if I were now.

That show sucked. Guts, you know.

[02] Would you do meth if it was legalized, and become a strung-out, whithered hust of a man/woman you are now?

I heard you can implode from doing meth...

[03] Abortion: for or against it?

Strongly for it. It's a ball of cells with no consciousness that we can prove. Hell, I'm for abortion up to age 10. =3 It's also population control.

[04] Do you think the world would fail with a female president?

As neat as that would be, she'd be bukakked on site--gross.

[05] Do you believe in the death penalty?

There are worse things.

[06] Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?

Only so most people would shut up about it already.

[07] Are you for or against premarital sex?

Whatever turns ya on.

[08] Do you believe in God?

Not in anything associated with any flavor of Christianity.

[09] Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?

Yeah.

[10] Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?

As long as they don't stare at my ass like that always do, it's cool. Is it bad that I'm so apathetic about important things?

[11] A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?

NO. In fact, her parents should hire ME to kick her down a flight of stairs made of hangers, for go measure.

[12] Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?

I believe it'll just cause more car accidents.

[13] Should the war in Iraq be called off?

Only if you input the right moves to do a friendship.

[14] Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?

If you want help putting yourself out of your misery, who am I to deny you? Go right ahead.

[15] Do you believe in spanking your children?

My dad had a HUGE Texas belt with a HUGE Texas belt buckle. I bled. I behaved. That is all.

[16] Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?

We all need money, right? As if there aren't a hundred billion other flags out there?

[17] Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama?

McCain doesn't support rape cases--especially INCEST. Anyone raped by their daddy, you're having that baby. I don't want Jesus all over my educational system. His family thinks he is the only war hero in America.

Obama's the lesser evil.

But only because The Inquisitor [ [link] ] isn't running. Because I'd so vote for him.

[18] Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
You don't like it, you can suck my metaphysical dick. I have several.

[19] The President has been kidnapped by NINJAS! Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the President??

I'm like Duke Nukem with tits. XD

And better guns.

3. What do you typically post on deviantart?
Traditional, poetry, short story, rants, bad art, shitty digital, bullshit doodles, anthro.

4. Tell everyone your favorite song, and why it's your favorite.
fav song EVER???

Difficult question.

Lately, it's been Greg Weeks "Made". I can't stop listening to it, and seeing pure glory. Or Mi and L'Au's "I've Been Watching You". Makes me feel....

5. Tell us your favorite color. Is it dark like your personality?
Hurf hurf, yeah. I like color schemes together: black and purple, and black and light blue. They make me feel...at peace. Relaxed.

6. How many pageviews do you have right now? What's your goal?
5610. I care not for them--I just want some feedback on my shitty writing. I plan to do it for a living, so I a little would be great.


7. Everyone's considered leaving DA once or twice. Have you? Why?
I kinda am right now. While I am drawing and writing, I'm rather depressed....


8. What deviant do you admire? Is it because of their art, or their personality?

DA idol: . I've watched her for years, then I found out MY SISTER WAS GOOD FRIENDS WITH HER. WTF. Small world. I hope i can meet her soon and suck that talent out of her brain!

I told a deviant not to take the sissy red pill.

11. Tell us your favorite animal and why.
Ring-tailed lemurs and penguins and pandas. At the zoo. Monochromatic.

12. Some people say that they can remember people better if they associate them with an animal or make up a rhyme. Make one for yourself.

no heart, no light, wrapped up in stones

Wicked pin-striped candy-drop
make the non-believers stop"

Never pick on others [the ones that HAVE intelligence, not prawns] because they are willing to lay down and die for you. You don't betray trusts like that, it's tiring.

Frankly, I'm actually pretty frightened. I remember the story of a guy that came home from prom, had a headache, went to lie down, and he died from an annuerism the next morning. I'd hate to tell someone "brb, nap" and wake up all dead and shit. Subdural hematoma don't sound pleasant. I hope it's just my glasses causing problems....

I would like to say it's minor...but everything begins as minor.

Schmeh. If I die, make my funeral a roast, so I have something to laugh at. =3

No seriously, do it.

School brings about everything I thought it would, save that there is a LOT more construction than I thought would have been. They're are three new buildings I had no clue about, and the president's attempt to make NKU look less like a prison is flowered with artificial lakes, brighter colors and...well, flowers. It reeks like black and yellow tulips. Still looks like a prison, that will never change. The workload should be a moderate amount, so that doesn't worry me too much, since the requirements for my lit degree are already finished, and philosophy is winding down. I made the mistake of being in class from 10 AM to 9 PM on a Wednesday...very very very bad idea that needs must be corrected with a different class at a different time, now that other opportunities have opened up. Other than that, same commute, different bat time, same bat channel.

My major downfall is that the daily migraine ghost is visiting me yet again, and an eight-hour iron ball sat behind my left eye all day. No form de la aspirin helped, which kinda scares me. oO;; I hope I'm not dying or anything. Factors could be stress, worry, sleeplessness, anticipation, anything. You got me there.

Seems I owe a lot of people personal time, for instance, Bre, Lydi, Ka, Jouster, etc. We'll all have to try and work something out soon, I feel bad for never having any social time.

Sigh.

Nothing new to report...I guess. Go about your business.

Lar and I are going to plan a day to sit about and revamp some of our older work...some of it is actually in need of an overhaul. I still say the Something Chaotic series oughts keep to the high school anime idea, though...we just gotta warp it enough to portray high school in our own eyes. If that is the case, Suter and and Telehany have to fly across the room, screaming about birds.

HoD stuff to be uploaded soon. I have to decided which moment to draw next, and they will be uploaded in twos by twos. You know, like the animal ark and shit. So we won't forget the unicorns this time.

Everyday feels like walking through static. Listening to Cloud Cult is giving me the false feeling of security. Making one too thoughtful. Is it death metal time now?

Uneasiness is not a feeling one should get used to. What to do...I know, watching Miyazaki films always makes me feel better. Maybe I'll go do that.

And here I sit, too nervous to sleep...suppose it's time to rally up and go do something important.

FA finally came back online, which gave me mental reminders to get back to work on my projects. Strangely enough, I've been drawing and writing everyday--so the new junk is available for viewing, if you're in need of clawing your eyes out. Both writing and drawing is up, and I've got something in the works for today.

School in two weeks. GAWDDAYUM IT'S ALMOST OVER.

Have I the brainworms? Unrealistically, the chemicals in my head as of late have alerted me to feel morbidly self-conscious with nearly everything I do. I do everything in my earthly power to avoid embarrassment of a severe kind, and to avoid looking...well, frumpy, I guess. It's not so much as femininity rearing its ugly head, just...being wary. Perhaps it's from being around boys all the time? I understand the stupid nature of it, but like watching a train wreck, seems little to do. Is there a thing as being too careful? Any second now, life's going to pass by like a freight train with rocket boots. I doubt it's bio-clock BS, so the fight wages on.

Eddie! Come home and waste your life with the only people that love you! That or...save up more money, and get here at the end of the month. =3

There's something I'm blundered about. What do you do when you're so confused about something you might erupt? What if the result is you might do something extremely regretful? Who knows, I need a cup of tea probably. Maybe my cerebellum itches.

In other news, GET OFF OF MY ISLAND. I SAW IT FIRST, CLAIMED IT FIRST, NOW GET OFF.

Something really is wrong with me. And I don't think it's blamable on the full moon, for once. Haven't slept much in the past couple of days [bugs, bad dreams, heat, REALLY bad dreams, hallucinations, paranoia, etc.], haven't eaten much--physically a mess. But the mind is fully functional and creative...feels like someone else is piloting the ship, though. But no matter who's at the helm, no one's on the boat, anyway. Not a visitor, not a crew...just this thing and I. Pixelated distance in its entirety is going to be the best option.

What is wrong with me. I had ribbons in my hair, and sunshine on my breath, and now I am the Hulk trapped in a washing machine. On the other hand...

And then that sweet-smelling, zombified bit of me comes out once in a blue moon to beg forgiveness, make star-shaped sugar cookies, and live to make everyone pleased and happy with affections and lullabies. Granted, naturally, I try to be accommodating with everything I do. It’s just getting harder to do as I remember I’m in my twenties. There are very very few people who get to see that side anymore. I know someone who deserves it 24-7 because he’s been that good a guy to me.

It's so hard to be pleasant and cheerful and bushy-tailed, when most people you know are troubled and doing worse. It is like this great, big, crushing iron when you try to focus on something else. If only I could be this giant, moon-sized banner that said "Don't give up! <3" so that everyone should see.

I've got a case of roller-coaster mind again. Calming down is going to be comparable to swimming upstream in a tornado while wearing chain link armor.

Need to focus. But lately, I feel that "focusing" is almost selfish. I can't get anything accomplished due to the fact I'm constantly entertaining someone else. Balancing isn't working out very well. What to do...

The following issues at hand are as follows, Mr. Redundancy: Getting back to work [slave wage], getting back to work [creativity wishes to skyrocket, but without pristine environment, there is no law to it], remaining my flavor of sane, preparing for the next road trip, and the final stages of securing school. All business, I assure you, to be handled while wearing a fresh and clean pin-striped suit a5nd vest.

The following issues at brain are as follows, if you know what I mean: taking an early day to breath and focus, reading "The Art of Doing Nothing", lounging around in my plaid, red and black pajama top that's 4 sizes too big for me, drawing for practice, hunting for quail, practicing violin and bass again, jog, and eat cereal to Dr. Steel and Halo. What a list!

Person-wise, I guess I feel alright. Most of the minutes, I'm floaty, and sometimes not paying 2 cents worth of attention; way too involved with over-analyzing, and worrying about things that might disturb my shields. Maybe I'm too snarky for my own good! Though I believe I've left some part of me in California...if you Sacramento guys see it, either mail it back ground UPS-shipping, or just lock it in a cage and feed it carrots and wheat crackers 'til I come back. Don't let it eat past midnight...gremlins, you know.

Father-dad owes me money, that bastard, and I intend to bug the gold-plated shit out of him to get it--he owns several properties, several cars, and several assholes, I'm certain, so my economic stimulus government cheese that he promised me [after gypping me out of declaring myself as independent] oughta be chump-change to his ATV-drivin' ass. Yet, it's sadly ironic...I often realize just how much I relate to him!

In general reality, why the fuck do people care about their mundane selfishness so damned much? Are you reaaaally the focus of the limelight? Are your scruples jerk-scented?! Human sympathy, man! Is it so hard to love your fellow man for what he is?

:SCHIZO-FLIP-MODE SQUAD:

Of course it is, dummy-head, certain people deserve to be destroyed and ridiculed for the moron that they were born as, and the whore that they've grown up to resemble. Such people should GTFO my couch, get shot and sold for spare parts, sleep with the fishes, that sorta thing. What are you, an idiot? Grab your gun and get strokin', kimosabe, there IS no time for compassion!!!

Obviously, I'm two minds about the whole thing...leaning towards the latter like an alley-way drunk, though. My compassion sits in a gum-ball machine that costs a whole 77 cents, and I'm too upset at candy inflation for sweets. What the hell was I writing about? *boom*

Stupid mood thing is STILL not working. These DA nazis...

Asleep in my old bunk beds in Memphis, TN. Woke up to a white and translucent, crab-like spider with a lobster face crawling next to me. Frightened, I tried to kill it several times with books, screaming--when it finally died, it squealed like a furry animal, like some newborn thing. Went back to sleep. I woke again in the dream, there was a another spider crawling out from my sheet--small, white, not as translucent. I didn't think twice, and crushed it at first sight. Another came later on, slightly smaller than the previous--the size of a tarantula, pasty white, fluffy, almost. Harder to kill. I was less afraid this time, and confused, almost mystified. It was rather cute. But something told me it had to be destroyed anyway. I put on a pair of calf-high black boots, and crushed it under the left one. Lifting the boot, the spider had become a small, white bird with a broken neck, and sounds of a musicbox came from a hole in it's neck.

That dream had been bothering me all week.

But remember when I ranted about Uncle Dav? Okay, maybe not, but remember anyway? He's my spirit guru--and he didn't disappear like I thought he did! He just moved to a different store will his place was being remodeled! I'm so thrilled. Uncle Dav is one of the easiest adults to talk to, plus he's cool as penguin shit. He'll show me the way to Snake Way!! Damn...that was a DBZ reference. Should I be shot for that?

If I had a mutant power, it would be to prove someone is lying. I'd have way too much fun with that.

My second one would be the ability strobe in stop-motion animation.

There's other news on this side of the world, but...we won't get into that. I'm done with tyranny for the night.

[link]

Obviously, I'm the user that posted the video that Tom showed me one day. To be perfectly honest, it depressed me, in spite of being satirical. I laughed, yeah, but it hurt at the same instance. The guy that I thought would be the LAST to throw up gang signs about "making fun of other people's happiness" called me out on it, regurgitating how I knew it was an over-generalization. I said nothing negative. I only said that it's depressing because it's true of the majority, and that it's sad because this is what society expects us to do. Spoke my piece and all, but in the same light, I can't stop mulling this over: So tell me this, why is it so terrible to simply want to study and philosophize instead of the former? Several friends of mine have no plans for families and "settling down", and they're doing just fine in their own endeavors. I know that we're programmed to procreate and marry and all that monogamous crap, but what if you missed the programming date? What if you simply have no drive or biological will for it? You are deemed a monster. The only job you can have is monk. Highly unfair. And there are plenty of things to say on this, and a much better way to word exactly what I mean but I'm roller coaster-mind right now...all my thoughts just fall on each other...you know.....aaahhgg, you get what I'm saying?? Why is it so wrong to want something else than marriage and kids?? WHY. And why is it when those that do get married and have kids loose their creative endeavors and just...transform and become a house-wife? Norms demand we follow biological urge to procreate and pass on our traditions to spawn, but what if you don't have that urge? And I am WELL-aware that chaotic instances like this in life are necessary for betterment of understanding and intellectual banter, as well to counteract "a perfect world", but why such opposition...

Yes, we need opposition for merriment. Yes, it's drilled mentally to follow status quo. Yes, we are a social animal. Yes, we need these instances for balance. Yes, yes, yes, I heard you the first time, so shut your dirty whore-mouth before you decide to talk back to the likes of me.

There is a BUT involved.

Jude Law in the movie" I <3 Huckabees" said it best to his own wife: "Why does everything have to be about marriage and kids? Can't we just see the world and go snow-boarding?We'll just enjoy each-other's company."

Let's play devil's advocate. I sincerely don't plan on it, but I just might adopt one day, simply so I can twist some poor kid into a mirror-image of me and my ideals. THAT will be my most divine joke. If it occurs one day, that thing will be my minion to power.

What I'm saying is, it's fine to marry and procreate--do whatever the hell you want, whatever it is. You got freedom, baby. I've met some damn cool families in the past that are creative, and individualistic. But why can no one accept something OTHER than this fine comic display? What kind of alternative can we come up with? Why can't anyone be accepted if they simply aren't in the groove of things? Because we're just getting out of another dark age, and people can't think beyond "marriage, kids, house, golden retriever, desk job"? No other accepted occupation in life is available on this disk?? Everyone is so used to the cookie-cutter economics, they can't think outside their own world and imagine "what if"?!?!?


Why?!






Why.....
