This is something I wrote when I was a freshman who had not yet realized
|
|
how wonderful having a full time job was going to be! Now I don't bother
|
|
myself with silly things like awareness. I pass the time away counting
|
|
my money, drinking, and masturbating.

My HTML project is going to be directed around "Hate". Hate. Seems pretty
|
|
broad? Pretty easy to dismiss in one sentence such as "he's probably a
|
|
white supremacist" or "some uneducated hick". Sadly I have more hope for
|
|
the human race than most of the school does, so your blanket dismissal
|
|
holds no water. Hate is better than what you people practice, that being
|
|
indifference.
|
|
|
|
What I mean by hate is anything pretentious, false, or contrived that is
|
|
presented as genuine or captivating. Oh, and I hate stupidity, which gives
|
|
me a lot of fodder considering I go to Northeastern University. With my
|
|
HTML project, I will do my best to enlighten you on how big of a lie your
|
|
life really is. Since *my* ideologies are the only correct ones, you can
|
|
either agree to them, or continue living the life of a listless, passive
|
|
mental masturbator; the choice is yours.
|
|
|
|
You think you know everything? You're an adult now, have gone through the
|
|
ravages of puberty and are on your way to being a powerless pseudo
|
|
intellectual white collar slave. Sometimes you wonder what could have been
|
|
if you had chased your dreams, but then the old guilt comes back and you
|
|
go back to the drudgery of your everyday existence. You see the people
|
|
you graduated with on television and pretend not to be bitter as you yell
|
|
at your wife to get you another beer. You're pathetic.
|
|
|
|
The truth is that guilt you feel was instilled in you only to keep you in
|
|
line. Nobody cares about you. Everyone, and I mean everyone, lies to
|
|
you. You have been weaned on television, and your mind, covered in blood
|
|
and sexual fluids from the number of times its been raped by the idiot
|
|
box, has turned numb and powerless to the things and people oppressing it.
|
|
What kind of manipulation must take place so that when you see hundreds of
|
|
people dying on television, their carcasses, limbs, and skulls flowing in
|
|
a river of blood.. What kind of manipulation would make you not think
|
|
twice as you change the channel to see Erkel stick his head in his rear
|
|
end. More importantly, what kind of sick and twisted mindrape would make
|
|
you *laugh* at Erkel? The world is a sad place.
|
|
|
|
You don't know anything. You don't know what life is about. You don't
|
|
know the beauty of it. You've forgotten, because life moves slowly, and
|
|
your attention span is in single digits. You don't know what death is!
|
|
You've seen it so many times, know the technicalities and situations
|
|
inside out, but you don't know what a tragedy it is for a human life to be
|
|
wiped off the face off this putrid planet. You don't even know the value
|
|
of life anymore, and that's just how the master plan is supposed to work
|
|
out.
|
|
|
|
The concept of America is beautiful, but the corruption that has gradually
|
|
taken root here has turned it into an embarrassing wasteland. Swallowing
|
|
the sugar coated media bites, its hard to realize that there are people in
|
|
power in this country that would make Adolf Hitler proud. Our country's
|
|
only interest in others is economical. Material based conflicts are
|
|
almost always interpreted as ethnic ones, located in countries the average
|
|
viewer could care less about, though he keeps close tabs on who's winning
|
|
Bud Bowl XVII. If no one cares, who is going to stop the oppressors?
|
|
|
|
Do you even know what Communism is? This country seems to have this hate
|
|
for Communists calling them 'reds' and 'pinkos' and equating the danger of
|
|
Communism with leprosy. But no one can really say what Communists are
|
|
except for the fact they are 'bad'. Does this sound right to you?
|
|
|
|
When is the last time you picked up a book? A book you weren't forced to
|
|
read? When is the last time you felt uncomfortable with something
|
|
everyone else was agreeing with? When is the last time you suffered? The
|
|
last time you were angry at something of substance, something that
|
|
mattered? Your soap opera lives are so meaningless it amazes me. Your
|
|
heros are manufactured. Why stifle oppression when you can package it and
|
|
sell it at Marshalls? Calvin Klein has a new perfume called 'One'. It is
|
|
supposed to bring out the individuality in you. It comes in a bottle.
|
|
Tell me, is there something wrong with that?
|
|
|
|
Does it bother you that people get pregnant as an afterthought? That
|
|
since your landlord cannot shut off electricity in MA if you have an
|
|
infant, people have children to keep their utilities? Does *this* bother
|
|
you at all? Does it bother you that the gift of life doesn't mean
|
|
anything anymore, and more and more children are being raised improperly
|
|
unprepared to deal with an unforgiving world? Probably not, since most of
|
|
you come from a white, suburban family and have no understanding of
|
|
poverty. Poverty for you is not getting that Gameboy for Christmas. Do
|
|
you know how goddamn hard it is to build a raft?! God you piss me off.
|
|
|
|
Turn off your TV! Its rotting your brain. There is more to life than
|
|
Doom! There is hell to raise, lies to expose, and hibernating minds to
|
|
awake and enlighten. They are obviously doing a damn good job of keeping
|
|
you from the library, but you must fight back. Reading opens up the
|
|
synapses shut down from years of dekay.
