wolven7Oingo Boingo - [On The Outside]--- 'They look out of the window, think "I own you all," and jack off like ugly apes in humping season. It's what they live for. No one who wants that is to be trusted. Why can't you all see that?'
I've said it before, i'll say it again, and i'll continue to say it, until the day i die: You don't want me as God, Leader, President, or anything else. Trust Me. As long as you want that, i'll refuse it, and the second you don't want me there, and aren't paying enough attention to stop me, i'm going to take it. (The Rentals - [Friends Of P.]). There are many, many days when i dislike the entire Universe, enough to destroy it, at a go. You know this. You want to put me anywhere near the power to do it? No. I don't want to lead you. I don't want to answer prayers, and give you the answers to the big moral questions. I want you to find them, on your own. I want you to Think, and not Ignore Something, because it's a little uncomfortable to see. Just because the non-Euclidean Geometry hurts your brain doesn't mean you shouldn't try to understand it.
I've been thinking, recently, about the way i deal with shit. So many people are willing to allow their problems to be solved, for them, and want that.. All the time. (Portishead & Moloko - [Fun For Me]). I'll freely admit that there are days when i want that. I want the solutions handed to me. I want to sit back and watch everything Fix Itself. That happens, when things get Very, Very Bad. It is not a constant state. There are far too many people, in the world, who want it, always, and ask for the fifth helping, the vomit bucket, and 20 minutes of oral sex, while it's getting done. This connects, directly, with what i said about money being seen as equivalent to happiness. The cliché-- and it's cliché for a reason, people-- is that money can't buy happiness. It can't. It can buy Accoutriments that bring Fleeting Enjoyment, which will leave, when the money does. Or when you realise that that is the case. Angst.
The Avalanches - [Frontier Psychiatrist]--- There are so many things wrong with the world, and i, personally, can't change any of them, by myself. All i can do is talk about them, and work at them, and get enough people to do the same, so that, together, we can get to some kind of realisational point in this shit train we call human evolution. (Can anyone tell who's been reading Transmet, today?) I put out Truths, as i see them, and hope that others will consider them, en total, not simply as parts and pieces. Taking the Regres as far as it will go... Infinite or otherwise. I want you all to think about homelessness, and freedoms, and True Happiness, and Equality, and all that other fantastical bull shit i tend to spout. I want you to think about the nature of the universe, and how what you believe, what you Deep Down Truly Believe, shapes the world in which you live. I want you to think about these things, because i want you to be happy. More importantly, i want me to be happy, and as long as you keep [non-productively] conflicting with each other, all i am is pissed off.
Lamb - [B Line]--- So no. I'm no one's God, but my own. And, if i have any say in it, that's the way it will stay... But since when do we have that much say in what goes on? Right? Feh.
I've done one of the things, on my list, thus far; I've showered. I'm about to see X-Men2. Then, maybe, i'll study. Tomorrow, i'm going to do the Free Comic Book thing, and then, hopefully, i'm going to study German, with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
raoin and ladymerrydeath. That should work out well... I still need to study Logic, and wrtie that Metaphysics thing. Like all other things of this sort, i'll probably end up doing it, the night before it's due. Because i'm a slack ass. Gotta love procrastination... Later

Look, man.
Date: 2003-05-02 07:14 pm (UTC)It'll go on my journal.
In lieu of that, I ask...Who is this LadyMerryDeath? Is she someone I know, or is she someone I should know? I had not realized she was local...
Or perhaps you've told me, and I've forgotten, again, and again...
Re: Look, man.
