The Rantings of A Mad Man Part IX: Shards of Broken Thought

People who appear toughest, hurt the most because they haven't got an outlet to let it all out.

Ducks are one of few animals other than humans which engage in gang rape.

Sexual activity clears the sinuses.

Everyone today is trying to escape from their lives. Why can't we just fix the world we live in?

The Church fears sex because hormones cause man to disobey the Church's rules.

There is no truth, only perception.

When people die in movies and whatnot they always say they have no regrets. Bull shit. I can think of forty or fifty right off the bat.

Pollution is slowly killing us all, yet we continue to buy SUV's and burn fossil fuels.

Let me tell you from someone who knows: ignorance is not bliss. Have you ever gotten lost in a foreign country? Well when you do, go on and tell me if it's bliss or not.

The greatest books and movies of all time are quite long.

Ignorance IS bliss for those who want to fool you.

No god of mine would ever smite man.

How many manifestos out there are not controversial? That said, I want to write a manifesto. Just because.

The greatest politicians realize the true potential of their power and don't ever run for any office.

Fear is blinding, yes. Happiness is too. As is greed. And jealousy. And pain can be as well. Rage. Anger. Vengeance. They're all blinding. Now don't you see why man is blind.

The greatest person in the history of the world was probably killed. And if not yet, will soon be.

Humanity is a parasite yes, but parasites don't usually feed off each other as well.

The world will only end when we let it.

Give love a chance... and then cop it one on the head and make for the quick-dry cement shoes.

I have a pill to make your ears larger and I'll sell it to you for six bucks a bottle. I have another pill that'll make your middle finger larger so as to better your salute. Ten bucks a bottle. Oh, think that's absurd? Well, I've got a pill to make your penis larger too. Thirty bucks a bottle.

The cement in Hoover Dam will not be fully dry in your lifetime.

If every person in the world moved to one side of the globe and simultaneously jumped, the resultant tremor of our planet would dislodge it by less than the width of a hair.

Jeez people, make something in the U.S. again, please. I don't care what it is; I'll buy it; just make the damn thing!

Why do we continue to insist to hurt each other? Wouldn't everything be so much better if we all just agreed to leave each other alone?

What IS war good for?

We only hurt because we care. If we didn't care about someone or something, it wouldn't hurt at all.

Why do we really care what others think of us?

You take the high road, I'll take the low road, and I'll be in Scotland better off than you.

Why do I expect to understand the big questions in life when I can't even solve basic math equations?

Here's a word we could do without: ire

...And another: grizzled

...And still another: qat

...And that's all I've got tonight.

My Last

 My previous post was found as a blank page in draft form this evening.  I found the existence of it to be rather poetic.  So I published it blank as is over a year later.  Seems fitting to be honest.

Reagan, Deregulation, and the Fruit It Now Bears

President Reagan had an idea about how the world should run. He deregulated Big Business. That is, he removed the restrictions put in place that kept companies from cheating. He removed, primarily economic oversight. He said that it was unAmerican that in this capitalist society that such oversight, such restrictions should exist. To him, these concepts flew in the face of that illusive, figmentary idea we like to call freedom. He wanted Big Business to have the freedom to do what it will and believed that in doing so, said companies would check themselves. They would check themselves because it was in their best economic interest to do so. Yet, what he didn't realize is that what was in the best interest of Corporate America could be unknown to Corporate America itself! That Big Business could be akin to a compulsive gambler who as they fall further and further into the hole panic and begin making riskier and riskier bets, thus then subjecting themselves to even more debt ...

36

Navigating life into your mid and eventually, ugh, late 30's is much different than your mid/late 20's.  Artificial time limits that we impose on ourselves for many of life's milestones seem increasingly close and their goals seem increasingly distant as the years tick forward.  It is important however to remember that these milestones are not actually set in stone.  They take work.  Sometimes a lot of work.  And they don't have an actual timeline. In my 20's I believed by 36 I would be married to a good man.  Have a family.  A career.  A home.  And that things would be, in all, pretty decent.  All the hard work of my early 20's would pay off and all of these milestones would be reached.  But of course, we're all a little naive about these things.  We have emotional responses to them which sometimes cloud logic. Three years back, I was in a relationship.  I had a good paying job.  And, as should come as a surprise to ...
