Here I am to bring a streaming, bright ray of light into your life this fine, Thursday morning.I've been a little under the weather and while I know it's really no excuse, ( I mean, how hard is it to write a post on a blog? ) it's the reason I've been absent lately.
But, the news is not good. Although no news is often good news, the lack of posts from this blog is no indication that all is good.
We, as a people, are doomed.
I mistakenly pointed out that the people, generally speaking, who live in the area I live - Topeka Fucking Kansas - are screwed up individuals. I made no mistake that they are screwed up individuals collectively behaving like a selfish bunch of inbred, bible-thumping idiots. Take my word for it, they're screwed up beyond repair. The mistake I made was assuming it was a problem confined to one geographical region.
It seems people just can't seem to grasp the fact that we can bring about good things by being kind to each other. Forget it if you believe I'm talking about taking long walks on the beach or holding hands and singing Kumbaya around the campfire. Actually it's more of a, "do the right thing and treat people with respectful kindness" kind of thing. But, you know, I've always been one to expect crazy kinds of things from people.
What might you ask leads me to believe this? Well, just this article about some guy who decided to take his own life by jumping from a building in San Francisco. People were laughing and urging him to jump? Really? You'll have to read some of the comments from people at the scene. I suppose if you judge from the comments there might actually be hope left for us as there were people as disgusted as I by the utter lack of consideration from people in the crowd.
Yeah, that's my idea of a good time. Take video and pictures of some guy taking his life by jumping from a building. Hey, I know what would be even better. I could tweet about it too! What kind of selfish, anti-social, malcontented prick do you have to be in order to enjoy a person taking their life in a public manner such as this?
As for me. I don't know. I think we're all just fucked.
