something my late brother wrote

flowing on into the blue
looking down on me and you
must have been a lifetime of insanity
and holding on but i cannot see

children are angry
what shall we do
kill some with germ warfare
get others high on 'ludes

lock them in a cage
and give them insanity
many lifetimes later now
no one knows what it means to be free

the pharaohs are in their hiding
and you know they're there
so children living in a dark age
beware

they call me mercenary of rock.

fuck censorship

Muhammed muhammed muhammed, muhammed muhammed muhammed muhammed. Muhammed muhammed muhammed muhammed. Muhammed muhammed? Muhammed. Muhammed muhammed? Muhammed!!! Muhammed muhammed muhammed muhammed muhammed; muhammed muhammed, muhammed, muhammed, muhammed & muhammed, muhammed muhammed. And if any of that bothers you, go the fuck somewhere else.

says a lot about me

So I did a search on Google just a little while ago, to see if anything else comes up. I think the results certainly say a lot about me. Mainly that I'm strange. :-)

i am not a racist

Okay, first of all, yeah, it's been quite a while since I posted to this blog. I'm not gonna bother making excuses, I'm a man of few words, and often things I intend to work on get left by the wayside. But hopefully soon I will remember not to forget that I have this blog and that I can post to it whenever I want.

But anyway, I've been noticing a disturbing trend. And that trend is the misapplication of the label "racist".

Now, don't get me wrong, racism is a very real thing, as are racists. Racists need to be called out wherever they exist, and they need to adapt a different mindset about how to treat people that are not the same race, color, or creed as them.

But the label "racist" is a loaded term, rife with inherent negativity. In order to qualify as someone deserving of the label, they have to act, believe, and/or treat people that are not of the same color as somehow inferior to their own. Simply noticing that a person or people around you are not the same color or race is not adequate.

Now, on the issue of racial slurs, which I will not enter, because I find offensive, I'm of the opinion that they shouldn't really be used by anyone. Some will argue that they are allowed to use them because they are the same race that it applies to, but anyone who is not, is not. But if two people of differing ethnicities have to argue on that point, maybe it's better that the racial slur die off completely, so that none are bothered by it.

To summarize: racism is dying, but it still exists. People who believe they are superior to those that are different from them should really rethink their beliefs. But calling someone a racist when they're not is counterproductive and does not further the cause of equality.

plugging some online mmorpgs

So I recently started playing Improbable Island. It's a fairly good turn based MMORPG, if you're into that sort of thing (which I am, in case you're too dumb to have not figured it out by now). I also play Kingdom of Loathing, as you may or may not know, depending on how you found this blog. One of the more famous old-school players of that game went and started his own MMORPG, Secret Society Wars. I haven't spent as much time playing that one lately, but perhaps you'll enjoy it more. Though I certainly recommend checking out all three.

double down and st. elsewhere

So even though I had a birthday earlier this week, it was pretty uneventful, therefore not worth posting about.

Instead I want to talk about the KFC Double Down. It's a bacon and cheese chicken sandwich, except the bun is actually the chicken! It's some bacon and cheese between two fried chicken fillets! And I tried it yesterday. I found it delightfully sinful, which means I enjoyed it quite a bit. But I probably wouldn't eat it every day. Having said that, however, I want another one. Someone get me another KFC Double Down, please.

Somebody in an online chatroom thought I was actually going to have a heart attack or vomit after eating the KFC Double Down. But come on, really? Is some bacon and cheese between two moderately sized chicken tenders really that bad? In my opinion (not scientific, but still somewhat educated) it can't be any worse than eating a lot of fried chicken and some sides. And nobody ever thinks of heart attacks or strokes when they think of that. No, they think of that as a wholesome hearty meal. So why all the stigma towards the KFC Double Down?

Speaking of things that send people to hospitals, I started watching the old TV show St. Elsewhere on Hulu. It's all right, I suppose, though it's certainly not overly funny or dramatic. Also apparently it's all in the imagination of some autistic child named Tommy Westphall. But I only just started, which means I'm only on the fourth episode of the first season, so I'm certainly nowhere near the existential final episode that everybody raves about. Oh well, all in due time.

hallelujah

"the word the hebrew word translated thing is word every thing came out of the word or the word you back to seed again words are things or they're word things so when i say words i just release a thing that you don't see the thing when i say it you heard the thing before you saw the thing before i sayeth the thing it's heard before its said"

Some Christian evangelists were saying that once. Somebody please tell me what the fuck they're preaching about.
