Question with boldness even the existence of God.
For if there be one, he surely more approves of the homage
of reason than blindfolded fear.
– Thomas Jefferson
Today, this one shall be quick…
Well, let me start off by sayin’ that I find life to be enlightening as it is absurd. Actually, I should say that life is so absurd that it can be enlightening. When we don’t take things too seriously, we can laugh at things, as well as ourselves… you’ll be free of all the senseless envy and bitterness you’ll have towards the world (’cause the world don’t owe you shit!) and you’ll die old and happy!
So, why this antagonism towards bitterness, you ask? Well, when I was young…
Half of life is fucking up – the other half is dealing with it.
-Henry Rollins
Let me share the following piece of writing I created when I was only at the age of 21/22. Incidentally, this was the opening to my first web page when it was marred with animated gifs and noisy backgrounds… and my pic with Sung Hi Lee. Mem-mor-ries… *sniff, sniff* Well, read here my youthful, rebellious, tirade against the world…
‘What’s so phukin’ important about Ray Hom?’
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! I’m NOBODY. I’m just an Ordinary Person… just like you… just like your mother and father who trapped you with traditional values… just like the guy who poisons you by working at your worst fast food joint… just like your descendants of a billion years ago who disrupted the flow of evolution… just like the ignorant masses… just like the wannabe who talks too much but doesn’t prove a damn thing… just like the Moral Majority who sold-you-out on a Mystery God… just like the movie star who creates false images… just like the garbage man who picks-up after your waste… just like the fiend who’s doped up on illusions of Reality… just like the Nobel Prize winner who believes in racial superiority… just like the party pooping passive loners and the low-life losers… just like the conservatives who think they made it all on their own… just like the liberals who think you can’t make it without their help… just like your teachers who taught you nothing… just like the stubborn, whining cry-baby who is too weak to admit that he is wrong… just like the lottery player who is financially illiterate… just like the terrorist who is an enemy of the state… just like the porn addict who thinks with his dick and not with his brain… just like the so-called elitists who act like they know… just like the homeless bum who won’t work… just like the thieves, gang members, and con artists who don’t understand the concept of Respect as something hard-earned… just like the illiterate idiots who abuses the Art of Cussing by using the word ‘Fuck’ in everything they say… just like the self-proclaimed capitalist who can’t make any money… just like the NASA astronauts who had a privileged life beyond Earth… I’m just like everybody else… living this anomaly of existence called LIFE.
WELCOME TO THE NEW ERA…
Yup, that was me… and so was this…
THE AMERICAN ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM HAS FUCKED MY MIND!!!
LEAVE ME OUT OF THE MAINSTREAM…
BEFORE I LOSE MY SANITY…
AND BECOME ONE OF YOU.
– Ray Hom, 1997 A.D.
Why am I sharing this to you? Must I explain everything? Can’t you just take everything in blind stride? No? Well, excuse me for questioning your submissive tendencies…
Well, during the Coming Of Age years, I believe one thinks too much to actually fool themselve in believing they know what the world is about… damn it’s a bitch to grow up and know you have the potential to be as ignorant as the most educated person. Ponder that for the moment…
Did I tell ya? Did I tell ya? I finally got my hold of a living dead doll. Namely the one named Posey! This blonde bomb shell was saved from the shelves of Tower Records (Thanks to my buddy, Jimmy Ko) before it gone on to the wrong hands of sick demented people who like to torture little children. Now, she has a home sleeping quietly in her cardboard coffin which sits on a desk next to my bed. I feel safe when she’s around… protecting me from the sins of darkness…
Well, if you’d like to adopt one of these cute and cuddly little kids, I’m pretty sure they all are in desperate need of a home, you can check out what and where they are available at LivingDeadDolls.com.
See, I’ve matured through the years.
Good night!
