Fall has fallen
And Summer has set
Winter has come
Much to my regret.

Now in this season
I sit at my station
With cold, clammy hands comes
Uncomfortable masturbation.

Love to post the most
Intoxicated rantings
These poems trump, bitches

I see many roads
What poses danger to us?
Hidden agendas

Eternal seascape
Our fortress may soon erode
Fear can never end

Seasons change so fast
Harming now without remorse
Does nature value?

Boss: This is the DJ 3000. It plays CDs automatically, and it has three distinct varieties of inane chatter.
[presses a button]
DJ 3000: [stilted] Hey, hey. How about that weather out there?
Woah! _That_ was the caller from hell.
Well, hot dog! We have a weiner.
Bill: Man, that thing’s great!
Marty: _Don’t_ praise the machine!
Boss: If you don’t get that kid an elephant by tomorrow, the DJ 3000gets your job.
[Marty punches it]
DJ 3000: Those clowns in congress did it again. What a bunch of clowns.
Bill: [laughs] How does it keep up with the news like that?

Well, this is the first post of News to Make You Blue. The basic premise of this is pretty self-evident — there is plenty of news in the world, and most of it centers on what a shitty place the earth is to live on. So why not cash in the chips and submit to defeatism?

This will be a daily collection of links that will open your eyes and crush your ideals — free of charge (minus the saturation with ads and the cost of your soul). So it begins:

Patrician - n. 1. A person of refined upbringing, manners, and tastes.
2. A member of an aristocracy; an aristocrat.
3. A member of one of the noble families of the ancient Roman Republic, which before the third century B.C. had exclusive rights to the Senate and the magistracies.
4. Used as a title for members of a class of honorary nobility appointed by the Byzantine emperors.
5. A member of the hereditary ruling class in the medieval free cities of Italy and Germany.

As I’ve been living at home I’ve come to realize how ridiculous it is to have freedom during college and come back to being under parental rule once again. Of course you can still demean your younger sister, but has certainly lost its luster.. The real topic here is the dad. Over the course of the Summer and there have been a few random incidents that were awkward and also hilarious w/my father.

Mark Twain said Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it. I love America. America is a fantastically wonderful idea. America is a place where that idea is made tangible every time we speak freely and live securely. I love my country. I love America. But when my government tells me that bombing another country is how we make the world safe for democracy, I’ve cannot sit idly by.

Now, lets get this straight, I did not ruin John’s halloween. Here is my side of the story:

John arrives at the Halloween party at 9 o clock respectively with his ex jackie and her dumb broad friend mindy(who happens to be my ex from a few years ago). Mindy is all drunk and shitfaced by 9, she then gets loud and obnoxious and begins to cry on the phone with her douchebag boyfriend and puke on the sidewalk. She didnt have any costume on, so i made the comment, nice costume, let me guess, you’re a drunk slut. I guess this comment struck her wrong because she proceeded to cry and i guess she ran away somewhere. I was really hoping she ran into some dumb pittsburgh crackhead that could have some fun with her.

syncretic - adj. Uniting and blending together different systems, as of philosophy, morals, or religion.

Syncretic is the adjective form of syncretism, from Greek synkretismos, “federation of Cretan cities,” from sunkretizein, “to unite against a common enemy, in the manner of the Cretan cities,” from syn-, “with, together” + Kres, Kret-, “Cretan.

An email received for failing to pick up a black table purchased off of Craigs List:

I think u are a real jerk for not calling me to let me
know earlier. not only did i wait around for you but I
had tons of people interested and turned them down
since you wanted. bad karma.

Thank you for informing me that they sell jackets at stores now. In case you didn’t notice (and saying that you, a government drone, could have a discerning eye, is highly unlikely), I was wearing a cashmere sweater.

I know that after years of solitude in your cube have left you bored and bitter. How does it feel to know that I, a 22 year old, make as much as your stiff, antiquated ass? Have fun living the rest of your life living by 2.5 percent pay raises the rest of your life. Lord knows you’ll need the excitement.

Legerdemain - n. 1. Sleight of hand. 2. A display of skill, trickery, or artful deception.
