Harness the Blood of Mountain Dew and Disney:
July 4, 2008
Some old Jack Kerouac audio came on my iPod yesterday, and I got so fucking angry I pulled my car over into a Domino's Pizza parking lot.
You know that Royal can't get a free sticker at the doctor's office without a Disney character on it?
America is an ugly and worn-out asshole.
No amount of descriptive rambling and bullshit adjectives will make us a healthier heap of ass.
We're fucked-up, and need to stop looking for the kind of knowledge that comes with 'beauty' and 'creativity'.
The type of knowledge we can gain now comes from the darkness of how we've arrived at our current position.
I'm content with darkness.
There are very few 'beautiful' and 'creative' things in Houston, but I like living here, because there is enough darkness to maintain a realistic perspective.
When you contrast an ugly place like Houston with a city like Austin, a good-looking city that prides itself on being "weird", you see how out-of-touch 'beautiful' and 'creative' people have become.
They forget that we are a whole, and that even people you do not like are important to your existence and well-being.
People who drive new hybrids in Austin should go down to the Houston ship channel, and look at what they really are.
They should go up the coast, to the refineries, and look at what they really are.
People move to places like New York, Austin, San Francisco, and they never look back to the piece-of-shit places they left.
I worship the Great Beast of America. I drink it's blood and walk in its shadow.
You are all of these things if you live in America. You are the sum.
You can say that you're not like the mass, you can make small positive changes like eating grass-fed beef or using a recycled-plastic toothbrush, but you cannot escape responsibility.
Who among us doesn't like a good Disney movie?

recognizing the difference between immoral and amoral is important, I think. A certain amount of amorality is necessary in order to be successful, and a lot of people just aren't comfortable with that. I don't think I am.
