Well here we go
I cannot say that much has changed since the last time I was on here despite my efforts to single handedly save the human race from itself. People still go about there lives in blissful ignorance. They devote there lives to the paper and plastic we call money. They aspire to be copies rather than originals.
But who am I to judge? I am but a hypocrite. A preacher ignoring his own preachings. I attend my colorless 9-6 for the sake of currency, I watch on TV idly as the world sinks. Who can be bothered with the world anyway when you have your own problems to wallow in, as if when the term "the world" is used we personally like to believe we are not part of it. How can I worry about global warming when my girlfriend just dumped me, how can I worry about children starving in Africa when I'm not gonna be getting that raise I was promised. But at least we live in the digital age so the alternative to alcohol is drowning my mundane life through Porn and PlayStation.
Yes a hypocrite. I scorn the fools who invest so much time in looking fabulous but at night dream to be worshiped as they are. I quickly revert to stating that knowledge is power when the reality is that power is power. Knowledge has no other purpose than to be able to give more eloquent commentary on the downfall of humanity. Have we all just come to terms with the fact that our great grandchildren will have no planet to call home or are we just all in denial. Do we create small problems just to preoccupy ourselves and not acknowledge the fact the world is coming to an end.
Well maybe I'm overreacting. Maybe the world doesn't need saving. Who am I to judge people who are happy? Happiness is such a relative term. The only way to define how happy you are is to compare it to how shit you were before.
I cannot assume that this rant makes coherent sense to anyone but me. If I was to leave something to think about I would pose the question "Are you happy?" or maybe something not so philosophical; "Would you like to change something in your life?". But then again there is always something you would want different in your life, so the real question would be why haven't you changed it yet? Oh wait I probably know the anwser to that too, from personal experience nonetheless. You are lazy, you like apathy, why make a fuss, why try if we are prone to failure anyway. So the real question is: Do you care if you live or die? If you do then the inevitable decision is to make the best of this life while you are here because unlike so many things that we actually have a choice in, death is compulsory.
Happiness Must Be Earned

Poser Wars: The Rock Poser Menace
OK guys and gals, this is my second post and it marks the beginning of an anthology named Poser Wars. For those of our readers who have recognized the allegory kudos to you and furthermore I would like to say that in fact the subject I will present throughout the 6 episodes of Poser Wars is indeed of the same magnitude as that of the original 6 episodes of said allegory.
For those of you unfamiliar with the term "poser" I shall state a quick definition:
Poser - an individual, usually human, who must resort to habitually pretending they are something they are not in order to gain social acceptance or generally be accepted into a certain group of people who share the same behavioral patterns.
In other words a fake person. Well not like a blow up doll kind of fake person, more like a personality lacking human being. Think I am being a bit to harsh? We all need to belong to a group I hear you say? Well riddle me this my poser-sympathetic friend, why cant' we all just belong to groups where we don't have to pretend we are someone else instead of being ourselves? It would be nice to be ourselves for a change wouldn't it?
So my friends, that being said I would like to go into the first type of poser, and in my opinion, the most frequent type: The Rock/Metal Poser. First of all I would like to say that for matters of clarity I am excluding the so called goth/emo group from this debate due to the fact that anyone in said group under the age of 15 should just be considered confused and anyone over 15 in said group should just be considered a retard. Oh and by the way some manga cartoon characters called and said they want their hairstyles back.
Now, the rock/metal poser could have a rebel complex or could just be trying to impress that rock chick from school, it matters not, what matters is that he is pretending to be the ultimate representative of a musical culture he cannot begin to comprehend. Don't get me wrong, I love rock/metal music, I just don't think you should act like you are Metallica’s greatest groupie when your fan boy credentials comprise of having downloaded a couple of bootleg albums from the net, owning a Damage Inc. T-shirt, getting T-bagged while listening to "Nothing Else Matters" and receiving Guitar Hero: Metallica as a birthday present from your mom. I am sure some of you out there are now thinking "Dude it was a Christmas Present ok?!" but hey how about you admit to everyone that when you get home every evening you pop in that Spice girls CD (who I personally have nothing against and who rocked my world when I was 13) and you dance your heart out. I respect all musical tastes but it pisses me off that some people have to pretend they listen to some type of music just to fit in. How about you be honest for once and just say that you adore The Jonas Brothers, even though I consider that to be a sin punishable by death, whatever rocks your boat.
The point is no one should have to pretend they like something they don't. Just get your own personality for once God dammit. Be yourself. Remember what the Dire Straits said, "See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup. Yeah buddy that's his own hair", don't be that guy.
