2/25/2008 Fuck You.So, i'm
sitting here on my bed after getting home from work, trying to decide
whether or not i will work on my essay; trying to decide whether or not
i will do some laundry; trying to decide whether or not i will ever
talk to you again...i've actually already decided that i won't. it's
just that, sometimes i give in and do it anyway. i almost did tonight.
i almost did five minutes ago. but now i'm thinking, fuck you. you're a
shitty friend.
I have a lot to be happy about....why can you always bring me down? Puz.zle: n. Something that requires ingenuity and often persistence in solving or assembling.Sometimes, I feel like no one knows me. Not me in my entirety. It's like, if I took all my friends' different perceptions of me and put them together, that would be me. I just don't know how to be that person all the time. It's like I'm a big puzzle. The kind with really, really, little pieces that takes a long time to figure out...and you get frustrated with it and give up. I feel like there is so much to me that I can only be one part of myself at a time. I feel like if I died, each person at my funeral would be mourning someone different. And that if one of my friends died, a part of me would die with them. The part that only they knew. I would be incomplete, and I don't think that I could recreate that part of me. I wish I had someone who knew every piece of my puzzle. Is that why when people find their soul mates they say they feel complete? Maybe a soul mate is just someone who sticks around to finish the puzzle. Someone who just doesn't give up. Please don't give up on me. 2/14/2008 I'm a human being, goddamn it! My life has value!"Bullshit is all the reasons we give for living. And if we can't think up any reasons of our own, we always have the God bullshit. We don't know why we're going through all this pointless pain, humiliation, decays, so there better be someone somewhere who does know. That's the God bullshit. And then, there's the noble man bullshit; that man is a noble creature that can order his own world; who needs God? Well, if there's anybody out there that can look around this demented slaughterhouse of a world we live in and tell me that man is a noble creature, believe me: That man is full of bullshit."
"I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's work, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad. You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, Goddamnit! My life has VALUE!'"
"Right now, there is a whole, an entire generation that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube. This tube is the gospel, the ultimate revelation; this tube can make or break presidents, popes, prime ministers; this tube is the most awesome goddamn propaganda force in the whole godless world, and woe is us if it ever falls into the hands of the wrong people."
"You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here, you're beginning to believe that the tube is reality and your own lives are unreal. You do. Why, whatever the tube tells you: you dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube, you even think like the tube. This is mass madness, you maniacs. In God's name, you people are the real thing, WE are the illusion. "
