I'm a lazy, unmotivated, inspired, cynical, pessimistic, misanthropic, emotionally crippled, slightly unbalanced, socially inept, hopeless romantic who is perpetually trapped either in my own head or in a book, bearing a certain amor fati.

I look around, seeing how others see the world, looking at things through their eyes. I do not condemn, I do not judge, I do not persecute. I feel sadness. So many things of the past lost to those younger than me. I see the world is shades of grey, never black and white. I see no heroes, I see no villains. I see problems and the ways people try to deal with it. Walk forward little children, always walk forward, but never forget, never abandon, the past.

WELCOME TO THE CULT OF INSANITY!
We live in an age where the sick and twisted are worshiped. We live in and age where the “Good guy” is the geek, nerd and loser. We live in an age where the odd kid is the freak. We live in an age where chivalry, honor, love and respect are seen as foolish. We live in an age where lust, greed, disregard and mistreatment are desired. We live in an age where a lesson has to be screamed at us for us to even realize it exists. We live in an age where funny shows, black humor, horror; tragedy, drama, and romance are seen and venerated on the screen. We live in an age where we see suffering on the news and think, “Thank God that’s not me!” instead of “God help those poor souls!” We live in an age that is more connected than ever before, yet we have never felt lonelier and empty. Welcome to a world that never sleeps. Welcome to a world filled with sadness and misery. Welcome to a world that needs to change.

I wanna die for a purpose,
I wanna live without reason,
I wanna laugh and cry about nothing,
I wanna dream when I'm awake,
I wanna be logical when I sleep,
I wanna dance and sing at a morge,
I wanna give prayers of morning at birthdays,
I want to be you,

Darkness calls humanity.
We pretend not to hear it but we obey anyway.
There is a sickness in us.
There is a monster in all of us that we deny exists.
But it's there, always there.
At the scene of an accident you see the monster.
Bystanders watching the carnage.
We are drawn to death and violence.
We silently watch in sadistic amusement.
Or perhaps it is in masochistic desire.
Why are we so drawn to morbidity?
Is it the unconscious wish to be the perpetrator?
Per chance it is a desire to be the victim?
Are we just seeking oblivion?
But it's there, always there.
There is a monster in all of us that we deny exists.
There is a sickness in us.
We pretend not to hear it but we obey anyway.
Darkness calls humanity.

What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Badness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love
It just ain't the same, always unchanged
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace is so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With the ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin' in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' our own direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead of spreading love we spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive to lovers bound
Now ask yourself
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)
sing with me y'all
one world one world
we only got
one world one world
thats all we got
one world one world
and somethin's wrong with it
yeah
somethin's wrong with it
yeah
somethin's wrong with the world world world
we only got
one world one world
thats all we got
one world one world

Bartleby Gaines: Nah, I'm not going to answer your question, 'cause you guys have already made up your minds. I'm an expert in rejection, and I can see it on your faces. And it's too bad that you judge us by the way we look and not by who we are. Just because you want us to be more like them when the truth is we're not like them. And I am damn proud of that fact. I mean, Harmon College and their - and their 100 years of tradition. But tradition of what? Of hazing kids and humiliating anyone who's a bit different? Of putting so much pressure on kids they turn into these - these stress freaks and caffeine addicts.
Dean Van Horne: Your phony school demeans real colleges everywhere!
Bartleby Gaines: Why? Why can't we both exist? Huh? You can have your grades, and your rules and your structure and your ivory towers, and then we'll do things our way. Why do we have to conform to what you want?
Dean Van Horne: Your curriculum is a joke, and you, sir, are a criminal.
Bartleby Gaines: You know what? You're a criminal. 'Cause you rob these kids of their creativity and their passion. That's the real crime! Well, what about you parents? Did -did the system really work out for you? Did it teach you to follow your heart, or to just play it safe, roll over? What about you guys? Did you always want to be school administrators? Dr. Alexander, was that your dream? Or maybe no, maybe you wanted to be a poet. Maybe you wanted to be a magician or an artist. Maybe you just wanted to travel the world. Look, I - I - I - I lied to you. I lied to all of you, and I'm sorry. Dad, especially to you. But out of that desperation, something happened that was so amazing. Life was full of possibilities. A - and isn't that what you ultimately want for us? As parents, I mean, is - is that, is possibilities. Well, we came here today to ask for your approval, and something just occurred to me. I don't give a s**t. Who cares about your approval? We don't need your approval to tell us that what we did was real. 'Cause there are so few truths in this world, that when you see one, you just know it. And I know that it is a truth that real learning took place at South Harmon. Whether you like it or not, it did. 'Cause you don't need teachers or classrooms or - or fancy highbrow traditions or money to really learn. You just need people with a desire to better themselves, and we got that by the s**t at South Harmon. So you can go ahead, sign your forms, reject us and shoot us down, and do whatever you gotta do. It doesn't really matter at this point. Because we'll never stop learning, and we'll never stop growing, and we'll never forget the ideals what were instilled in us at our place. 'Cause we are s**t heads now, and we'll be s**t heads forever and nothing you say can do or stamp can take that away from us! So go!

Which is the greater sin? Killing one’s enemy? Or standing idle while your true love is strangled? I could no longer stand by; God’s work is not done in a lab. It is done in the heart. His research proved yet again that man’s mind is progressing faster than his soul! For centuries, the church has stood by while science picked away at religion bit by bit. Debunking miracles. Training the mind to overcome the heart. Condemning religion as the opiate of the masses.
They denounce God as a hallucination – a delusional crutch for those too weak to accept that life is meaningless. I could not stand by while science presumed to harness the power of God himself! Proof, you say? Yes, proof of science’s ignorance! What is wrong with the admission that something exists beyond our understanding? The day science substantiates God in a lab is the day people stop needing faith! Science, by definition, is soulless. Divorced from the heart.
Intellectual miracles like antimatter arrive in this world with no ethical instructions attached. This in itself is perilous! But when science heralds its Godless pursuits as the enlightened path? Promising answers to questions whose beauty is that they have no answer? No. Nothing unites hearts like the presence of evil. Burn a church and the community rises up, holding hands, singing hymns of defiance as they rebuild. Look how they flock tonight. Fear has brought them home.
Forge modern demons for modern man. Apathy is dead. Show them the face of evil – Satanists lurking among us – running our government, our banks, our schools, threatening to obliterate the very House of God with their misguided science. Depravity runs deep. Those who believe undergo great tests for God! God Asked Abraham to sacrifice his child! God commanded Jesus to endure crucifixion!
And so we hang the symbol of the crucifix before our eyes – bloody, painful, agonizing – to remind us of evil’s power! To keep our hearts vigilant!

And bam! The shine's off the apple. And that's when you find out that that pretty little girl you married isn't a pretty little girl at all. No. She's... a man-eater. And I'm not talking about the "Whoa, whoa, here she comes" kind of man-eater. I'm talking about the kind that uses your dignity as dishtowel to wipe up any shreds of manhood that might be stuck inside the sink. And of course...... I may have tormented her from time to time, but honest to God, that's what I thought marriage was all about. So much so, that by the end of that relationship, I honestly don't know who I hated more: her or me. I use to sit around and wonder...... why our friends weren't trying to destroy each other, like we were. And here it turns out the answer's pretty simple. They weren't unhappy. We were.

Relationships don’t work the way they do on television and in the movies. “Will they? Won’t they?” They finally do and they’re happy forever. Give me a break. Nine out of ten of ‘em end because they weren’t right for each other to begin with, and half of the ones that get married get divorced anyway. And through all this stuff, I have not become a cynic. I haven’t. Yes, I do happen to believe that love is mainly about pushing chocolate covered candies, and you know, in some cultures, a chicken. You can call me a sucker. I don’t care. Because I do… believe in it. Bottom line… is couples that are truly right for each other wade through the same crap as everybody else. But the big difference is, they don’t let it take ‘em down. One of those two people will stand up and fight for that relationship every time, if it’s right and they’re real lucky. One of ‘em will say something.

turn my
mic up louder i got to say something
light weight step it aside when we come in
feel it in your chest the syllables get pumping
people on the street they panic and start running
words on loose leaf sheet complete coming
i jump on my mind i summon the rhyme of dumping
healing the blind i promise to let the sun in
sick of the dark ways we march to the drum and
jump when they tell us they want to see jumping
f*** that i want to see some fist pumping
risk something take back what's yours
say something that you know they might attack you for
cause i'm sick of being treated like i have before
like it's stupid standing for what i'm standing for
like this war's really just another brand of war
like it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor
like they understand you in the back of the jet when you
can't put gas in your tank and these ******* are
laughing their way to the bank cashing the check
asking you to have compassion and to have some respect
for a leader so nervous in an obvious ways
stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
and the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
in the living room laughing
like what did he say?
amen, amen, amen, amen, amen
in my living room watching i am not laughing cause
when it gets tense i know what might happen
the world is cold the bold men take action
have to react or getting blown into fractions
ten years old it's something to see another
kid my age drug under a jeep
taken and bound and found later under a tree
i wonder if he thought the next one could be me
do you see the soldiers that are out today they
brush the dust from bulletproof vests away
it's ironic at times like this you pray
but a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday
there's bombs in the busses bikes roads
inside your market your shops your clothes my dad
he's got a lot of fear i know
but enough pride inside not to let that show
my brother had a book he would hold with pride
a little red cover with a broken spine
on the back he hand wrote a quote inside
"WHEN THE RICH WAGE WAR IT'S THE POOR WHO DIE"
meanwhile, the leader just talks away
stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
and the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
both scared and angry like
what did he say?
amen, amen, amen, amen, amen
with hands held high into a sky so blue
as the ocean opens up to swallow you(X6)

Humanity ain't always what's pretty. Some of the worst killers are pretty. Humanity ain't always what sounds nice and falls smooth on the ear, 'cause any pitchman can charm a snake, but some pitchmen ain't too humane. A person shows humanity when he's there if you need him, when he takes you in, when he has a genuine kind word, when he makes you feel not alone, when he makes your fight his fight. Thats what humanity is, if you want to know. And if we had a little more of it in this world, maybe, we could get ourselves out of the handbasket we're in ... or at least stop carrying that handbasket stright to Hell, the way we have been for so long.

Most things get better when I kick them...
-Spike, Cowboy Bebop
Everything has a beginning and an end. Life is just a cycle of starts and stops. There are ends we don't desire, but they're inevitable, we have to face them. It's what being human is all about.

You know the first rule of combat? Shoot them before they shoot you.
-Faye, Cowboy Bebop
Look at my eyes, Faye. One of them is a fake because I lost it in an accident. Since then, I've been seeing the past in one eye and the present in the other. So, I thought I could only see patches of reality, never the whole picture. I felt like I was watching a dream I could never wake up from. Before I knew it, the dream was over.
