Today I was speaking with a friend, and complaining about the mediocrity of most lives, (forget how redundant that complaint is for a moment), people go to work, come home, watch TV, or the internet, consume enough to sustain existence for another day, sleep, the wake up rinse and repeat. It all seemed terribly meaningless to me. But then I was told that was pretty much what I was doing.
I won't go into any distasteful detail, but it was a sort of shit-in-my-pants-revelation for me. I didn't actually shit my pants of course, but the turtle-head of regret did get a little air. I'd always wanted to create something more, to be something more than a simple man. It always seemed that men were so contented with themselves, happy to be just as they are, no more. I'm having a very hard time writing this now because I'd really love to write something profound and universal. So much of my life has been spent attempting to understand the nature of this world and its inhabitants, one would think I'd be able to come up with something at least witty about the way things are. Although no revelations were had here today, nor are any certain to come in the future, I think I'll begin again with baby steps. No more will I attempt to pull back the curtain of reality with a four paragraph blog written at the whim of a pensive, lonely, yet strikingly handsome young man. If I have any thoughts that last longer than a fart's charm in the future, I'll try and put them up simply, without all the pretense of it being Revelation II: Revenge of the Fallen.
Anyway, I've always had this paranoid feeling that I'm not fully understood, or really even remotely so. It would probably help if I spoke aloud. Baby steps. In any case, like any person I want to be known, (Not globally mind you), just known (not Biblically either... Well actually, that would be fun, but I'd have to get to know her first, not "know"...er, you know what I mean). So being truly known can at least allow me to finally be worshipped as a towering pillar of flaming awesome, or finally recognized as the truest debasement of humanity ever to excrete it's putrescence upon the blessed firmament of the Earth.
Only time will tell.
