Subliminal's blog: "Subliminal Lies"

Chapter One.
[Do I look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it, you know? I just Do things.]


[He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.]

Normalcy. Weirdness. The only people who try to be *weird*, who say that they are *weird*, are weird, because they're being dishonest and going for the *money*, for want of a better word. No, they're trying, and trying is dishonest. It's hard to explain, in a way that can be understood with the English language. It's more of a fluid stream of consciousness. The point is, really, it's all relative. There is no Normal and no Weird. 

[When the going gets Weird, the Weird turn Pro]

It's all so convoluted, but in this world with a million different possible personalities, how can anyone be considered *weird*? It's all just - different shades of Normal. Especially in this country. We're an odd beast, to say the least. Really. To say the least. We have unlimited possibilities to be unique, to be Individuals (don't mind me, I'm just going to giggle a bit), but in the end, we always follow the trends. Even those who try to Stand Out and be Different. They're sheep as well. It's a sad, sad state of affairs, to be totally honest. The only people who break the mold are those who truly don't give a good goddamn what anyone thinks, which is hard in this country, as we're inundated with television and magazines and films and everything else telling us who to be, how to be, what to think. It makes 1984 look like a joke. The book, that is. By the great George Orwell. 

Baah baah black sheep, has you any wool?

Mm... Pigs... Dogs... Sheep... Animal Farm. Pink Floyd's Animals. 

Such a great album, and I suspect the book will be a coming purchase. 

Anyways...

Sheep. We're all sheep. It's sad, it really is. We're controlled by the coasts. It starts there, on either side, and trickles inward... but whatever. We're drones, it happens in all societies. Amongst the million personalities we're allowed, so to speak, there are about a dozen, and sadly, most of them, in one way or another base themselves around Religious beliefs. It's a sad state of affairs that in like 10k years, we've never evolved from those quaint Superstitions. It would be amazing and awesome to watch as a truly objective observer, from the Stars... but the fact is, we're all ground down into it, so Objectivity is a bit, hard. True Objectivity. When you're amidst the quagmire this has become, it's next to impossible to be truly Objective and not worry about the repercussions of this Madness. 

Madness - does not exist. If one of us is Mad then we is all Mad. Which is the problem with being comfortable with True Individuality for most people - They don't want to be thought Mad. Which is hard for people. 

The straights, the squares want to believe that there are two types of people. The Sane and the Insane. The Straights and the Freaks. Supposed Freaks, I must say, to clarify my position. When dealing with these B&W people, one must get down to their level and try to explain it, the best one can. Like I do with Neo-Conservative Republicans. Part of the reason it's easier to generalize. I'm not Playing Devil's Advocate, per se, I'm merely explaining it from a kind of amalgam of Points of View. Mine and Theirs. It is fun, let me tell you, but things tend to get confused. 

People, they're an interesting sort. 

Funny thing to know, We're one night away from becoming Neanderthals again. Exciting, isn't it? 

24 Hours without Electricity or Communication, and this country would resort back to Barbarism. It would be fun to watch, once again, from Space. 

But think about it, It would be Fun as Hell to watch this country come apart at the seams, but of course, I'd feel kinda sorry for the rest of the world. Some Numb Nuts would find a way to Launch Nukes, dig? That would be bad, and ...okay, it wouldn't be bad. It would wipe the planet of this filthy disease called Humanity and Gaia could commence her healing. 

Really. People want to pretend that they're Such Hot Shit, as a Species. Especially Republicans and Morons with their Petrol Guzzling SUV's (of which they have Absolutely No Need For) - as though this beautiful BlueGreenBallWeCallEarth is Nothing but the land in which we live. But think about it friends, Without Gaia, we would be Gone. Dead. Not here. 

Trust me, I'm not a Tree-Hugger, I have no qualms with you motherfuckers ripping up Forests and State Parks to build Home after Home for the Ever Growing Population, I think it's Great. Why? I'm a fan of Natural Selection. *A Big Fan.* Like OMFG Big. Once you burn out all the resources and deplete the Earth of all its resources, you will be GONE. Dead and Buried under an Epic Layer of Ash, and my dear Gaia can begin to heal from your fucking wounds. And she will. She Has. Remember the Dinosaurs? Yeah, they were wiped out by a KICKASS Asteroid that plunged the Earth into a Thousand Year winter, but she came back Fighting and Spawned us. 

I wonder. How long were the Dinosaurs here? A few thousand years? I wonder if it really is a Biological Experiment. Open Ended of course, because our Goddess Gaia cannot really Throw Asteroids at us when she's tired of us (Which I'm sure she is), but you know, We've had our turn. 

And let's Pretend that the Republican Party (ie. Reagan) didn't spread AIDS to get rid of the blacks and queers (I like conspiracy theories, and this is an interesting one), let's say Gaia spawned it, to start ridding the planet of us. Which, in a way, it has. Well, it has begun. And then Trojan had to make BILLIONS from the ... actually, contraceptives are no longer in use as Abstinence Only Sex Ed banished them from the consciousness of these numbskull 14 year olds fucking and getting knocked up. Babies having Babies. One thing that will be fun? AIDS and/or other Terminal Diseases will be running Rampant amongst you silly folks. It will be fun to watch. And This one I can watch from outside, Because I ain't fucking no more. Well, I will, I know. I can't go the rest of my life and NOT dip my wick once or twice a year, but I'm not STUPID. Condoms are our friends. I will not Breed and I will not contract Disease. Okay, I know, Condoms aren't 100% effective (they have to cover their ass), but 99.9% is good enough for me, and they've not failed me yet. 

But really - It makes me happy to envision a World where People are no longer a Problem, but are gone and a Prehistoric Memory. We'll be dug up by an intelligent species and they'll Giggle, just as we do with Dinosaurs and CavePeople, and they will Giggle at your Gods the same way we Giggle at the Romans and Grecians and Druids. 

I wonder if they'll have their own Gods. I hope not. I hope by then that the biological Evolutionary Imperative will have weeded out Superstitions. At least once they get a good Roll going with Science and the like. That will be Awesome, 'eh? I can dream, can't I? You Bet your Sweet ASS I can. I'm an Optimist. 

Chapter Two

Can you see it? A World without People? Imagine it. Sit back and Imagine. 

[Imagine there's no Country. It isn't hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for. No religion, too]

It would be absolutely Beautiful. Sure, the Animals will perish too, and that's sad, but they'll come back. They will, I assure you, but People won't. The skies will be clear. The trees will be tall. The rivers and oceans will be clean. The Earth will once again be Blue and Green, no longer shades of Black. I can see it and it makes me Giddy inside. So Incredibly EXCITED!!!! 

Excited for the End of the World? Why yes, yes I am. It's like, a dream come true. Really, it is. I'm all a dither thinking about it. I'm speechless and Giddy as a Schoolgirl at Prom knowing I's gonna get some at the Hotel Afterparty. 

Sorry. I'm better. 



Some days, I feel like Major Tom, floating above the atmosphere, watching the world self-destruct in ways I could never imagine to Self-Destruct, and I'm pretty imaginative when it comes to Self-Destruction. 

[This is Major Tom to Ground Control, I'm stepping through the door. And I'm floating the most Peculiar way. And the Stars look very different today. For, here I am sitting in a Tin Can far above the world. Planet Earth is blue and there is nothing I can do.]

Tell my wife I love her very much... 

Sigh, it's sad, though. It's not happening fast enough. The population just keeps getting bigger and Bigger and BIGger and BIGGER. More and more peoples, but they're not burning the resources and the Earth as fast as they Can. Fucking hippies and tree-huggers.

This is a call to you: Let them!!!!! Let them Obliterate this world and you'll get just what you always wanted! The roads will deteriorate and fall away, disappear and go bye bye. The Earth, my lovely Gaia will reclaim what was hers and stolen by the White Man and pfft, there you go. Just what you always wanted, the great Goddess back in control.... and the Earth saved from the raping and pillaging Humans...

Oh wait. 

That's not what you want?

No?

Damn...

You just want more bicycle paths?

You just want to perpetuate the Human Disease? That Virus with Shoes?

Sad. 

Pathetic Humanists. You're not Earth Friendly. You Bastards!!

You just want to Make Things More Comfortable For YOU!!! Cocksmokers.

DIE!!!

No, really. Think about it, if they were really for the Environment, they would Wish for the destructions of Humans just as I do. 

Funny thing is, I generally like Humans, in an abstract sense. They're alright, I guess. They just got lost along the way, and if I were a Catholic, I'd call on St Jude, the Patron Saint of Lost Causes. 

But they are beyond saving. It's sad but true. 

We got lost along the way and need to be wiped out. Maybe brought back with a better Operating System. We're like Vista 32. Or Windows ME. Like, let's say - The Dinosaurs were Windows 95-98 (really, they're the same operating system, no real change), a good Operating System (for the Earth), and we're Windows ME. So our Predecessors will be XP and maybe they can make it alright, maybe they can do it better witht a clean slate (Really, I've given up on Our evolution. We've been stuck at being excited for the Opposable Thumb for far too long. We [They] don't understand we have Much More Potential than this) so, there we go. Then the next one, a few more million years down the road will be Vista 32, they'll evolve to Visa 64, then they'll be expunged, then we'll have Windows 7, which totally kicks ass, so there you go. That's how it works. How it will work. At least the Dinosaurs didn't pollute and they ate what they killed

Think of it like this, if you will. 

We've been here 6k years, which is just a blink for Gaia, She's got Patience like a motherfucker. She's eternal. Everlasting, and she'll be here long, Long, LONG after we're gone... And it will be okay. It will be awesome and Beautiful and I just wish someone could get me pictures.
