The world is like a ride at an amusement park.

First of all The Kleptones are brilliant. “Warning : If not one of these albums makes you grin like an idiot, you may be dead.”
I have two letters for you today:

Letter 1:

Dear Ecto,

Fuck you Ecto. Fuck you for making me update this program like everyday since 2.0 Beta was released. I mean I know its Beta but still? A new update EVERY DAY? Fuck you more because I just spent the last little while drafting up probably the best Blog post ever. And you go and crash just before I go to post it. Fucking brilliant! I mean the post obviously wasn’t that great but still. I spent like way more time then I should have drafting it up and it just “vaporized“. The program crashes and I’m asked if I want to send a note to Apple.

Sincerely,

Me.

Fuck. What the hell was I saying? Oh yeah, I was talking about how my site suffers from a lack of cohesion and a general tendency toward cognitive bias stream of consciousness posting (see below). I don’t think anyone expects in-depth anything on this here bloggy so I think I’m ok.

Letter 2:

Dear G-Dub

Dub, (the lying fuckin ass that you are) would you be so kind as to stop slandering someone who actually went and fought in Vietnam when you were being a coked up alcoholic in the safety of the homeland?

Sincerely.

Me.

I was thinking last night about how it would be interesting to look back on what I’m thinking now and compare it to what I think after the election… I obviously want Kerry to win but thats only because he sucks less. I’d like Kerry to win because I believe in international law, multilaterlism, a woman’s right to choose, not destroying the environment, complete sentences and all that naive optimism shit.

The post that got eaten up by ecto was much better, I swear it wasn’t so hack… You know just like how the surf yesterday was amazing. I guess lying is easy to do when you’re blogging in your pajamas or sending your nation to war. Same difference. Complete sentences are great. Complete good. Yes.

Something for you to think about:

“The world is like a ride at an amusement park. It goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it’s very brightly coloured and it’s very loud and it’s fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, “hey – don’t worry, don’t be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride…” And we… kill those people. Ha ha “Shut him up.” “We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real.” It’s just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. Jesus murdered; Martin Luther King mudered; Malcolm X murdered; Gandhi murdered; John Lennon murdered; Reagan…. wounded. But it doesn’t matter because: It’s just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It’s only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love.

The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here’s what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defences each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace. Thank you very much, you’ve been great.” Bill Hicks.
