In general I regard all attention whores in the media as little more than vacuous overflowing propaganda receptacles, leaving their refuse on the ground as more and more useless information piles on top of and slips off. These new media types, in my opinion, they all want attention, they want people big and small talking about them, spreading news of artificial and manufactured (IE: made-up) ‘controversy’ that really exists only because they know it’s a buzzword and gets people’s attention.  People like Ann Coulter, or Mike Moore.  They only want to capitalize and profit by hijacking people’s fears and pretenses and preaching to the already converted for book deals and a quick few bucks before dropping off the media radar like a shooting star, laughing their way to the bank.  They claim to speak for us, they don’t.  They speak for their corporate backers and their wallets and will say anything, no matter how stupid or crazy it is, to get that spotlight shined upon them for a few more precious seconds.

So, in general, my policy is to not waste effort saying my opinion of their opinions because in the grand scheme of things people like that do not matter, they come and go or persist only in the most slanted ideological soapboxes that will allow them to spill more of their garbage to a gradually diminishing audience.  Essentially you’re arguing with a puppet, a loose configuration of rhetoric given corporal form.  A shambling horrible media zombie, relentlessly craving ratings.  They want to offend you, and grab your attention, so I think it’s a good idea to ignore them and I wish more people would realize this and do the same.   Of course, there are exceptions for extra persistent and or insidious ones, and for that I offer these few choice words towards the individual that compelled me to write this article.  Mr.  Glenn Beck.

Now, Beck is known for saying racist, ignorant, and retarded political statements pretty much on a daily basis.  He’s also known for holding huge corporate-sponsored and funded rallies to further establish himself as the center of a ‘movement’ that has been artificially constructed to feed Fox New’s narrative of widespread political dissent towards the evil Demoncrats and their obvious facio-socialist agenda to take over our lives.  Hell, he even came close to offending me when he pretended to cry and be afraid for America, because it was such an obvious act and people still bought it.  This is not what managed to actually offend me, as, like I said, I’m fairly numb and indifferent to obvious liars only out to make a quick buck.  What got me was a simple statement, stated rather emphatically:

Two plus two equals four!

Monolithic Horizon; Act 1: Heathen – Chapter 1: Telling Lies (w/ Foreword)

I’m a very angry person.   Over the last five years I’ve lost touch with my passion for anything because, for the most part, I felt that there was no point in trying.   I realized this somewhat recently and thought long and hard about the condition of my life, where I want to be, where I was, and how close I was to my goal of writing full-time.   Not very close.   I have wasted the last ten years of my life working for jobs that I have hated, that have left me tired and humiliated and a little broken.   Not because of any overt oppression, but the implications of the work and how it effected everyone I worked with and me.   When I thought about it long and hard, it made me realize just how angry I was about the situation I’ve put myself into this whole time.   It’s my fault for putting up with these jobs, sure, but I learned something in the process.   I saw how the corporate world is, I know how these people think.  So with that in mind, I have set to using that as inspiration to make one last attempt at reaching my ultimate goal.

So bear with me over the next few months, I will only be writing about stuff that I can use as material for my work, and I will only be posting sample chapters.    If I do not have this book finished by the end of the year, or at least the first draft, I will officially give up my goal of being a writer.   So, one more time, from the top.  Here… we… go.

It is far easier to tell lies than it is to be honest. The reasoning being that honesty takes absolutely no creativity, there’s no real mystery or drive to want to know more in most cases . When one lies about their day they can add all sorts of interesting anecdotes and quips which would not work in an honest portrayal. No one really is excited to hear that you went to work, listened to talk radio, hated your life and was so bored you spent the day looking for meaningless tasks to do to kill time till you could drive home in a traffic jam and make it inside just in time to plop your ass down in front of the television and bear witness to people bitching about getting parking tickets on yet another ‘reality’ show and people having their souls crushed when they are coldly told they have no talent and paraded out in front of the viewing audience on American Idol. Honesty is easy, only when it doesn’t require you to face your day to day reality. Life is much more exciting when you can pretend that things are much more interesting than they really are. Applied to yourself and of your own personal truth we find honesty is a bit more difficult and rather unpleasant to look at. When people face their reality it seems to crush them, because perhaps, in lying, most of them were hoping one day that the lies would become truth. In this willful self-deception people merely set themselves up to be disappointed and for the most part unwilling to accept the face they finally see reflected in the mirror.

The truth is that your life, is probably, really boring. So boring you want to scream. It’s why people lie. It’s why everyone lies, including me though notable less so as of late. Who wants to face reality when reality is ultimately ugly and harsh. When someone lies to you, most people are probably aware of it. Yet it is accepted, digested, processed, and then met with more of its kind during the rest of the course of the conversation in which it was initially uttered. In a way a lie can make you want to really get the truth that much more, because the truth, once covered with a lie, seems to be something more desirable than it may normally be.
