Theater Of The Absurd

Jesus, man! I hope some good luck comes your way.

Medical school, eh? Well, I definitely think you have the brains for it–you’re one hell of a smart dude.

I don’t know if you have the patience for it though.

Let me pass onto you a few lessons that life has taught me: no one is free of hardship in this life, and there is no path through it that is easy. I’ve been through university, got myself two degrees, and the stress was almost unbearable. To get through school–especially med school–you reeeaaally have to dig your nose into the books… but what else you gonna do in life? If all is hardship, you might as well go through some kinda hardship that stands a chance of paying off in the long run, right?

The point in life is not to find some easy road that soothes you like a mother coddling a baby, but to choose your preferred hardship–and that’s not to be interpreted as the least painful hardship, but the hardship that is the most meaningful to you, the hardship that you can stand behind and say: this is worth it. It’s like the hardship of enduring a sickness versus the hardship of working out at the gym–no one chooses to be sick, no one wants that, so to endure sickness is often unbearable, but to work out at the gym, the break a sweat, to feel the burn, is quite bearable. Not because it hurts less, but because we want it–we want it because of what it means to us: that we are achieving something, we are getting somewhere with it, becoming stronger, becoming faster, becoming better–it means something to us so much deeper than being sick and throwing up means to us.

On a side note, it’s interesting to me that you want to become an embalmer as opposed to the many other occupations you could choose. If you’re such a monster, you could have been a soldier, firing bullets at the enemy; you could have joined the mafia, become a gangster, and cut people’s fingers off to satisfy some twisted, sadistic pleasure; you could have become a worker in a slaughtering house, torturing animals for fun (Turd Ferguson tells me you used to work in a meat packing plant–why did you quit?). To be an embalmer tells me that you are interested in death and the macabre, but not in torture or the suffering of others–the dead are already dead–embalming them does not bring about any further suffering or torture–in fact, you would be helping others with the grieving process of the loss of a loved one, helping them to bring closure (maybe even guiding a soul in their migratory journey into the afterlife if you believe in that sort of thing).

In other words, I don’t think you’re as much of a demon as you make yourself out to be–you like the macabre, the gothic, but I don’t think you’re a monster. You live in the darkness, but you’re not a bad soul. I think what you express is your own pain, not an evil spirit.

I seem to recall once you told us about your suffering from chronic pain. There is a part of the brain called the anterior cingulate gyrus which is involved in both physical and emotional pain, and I suspect yours is overactive. This could account for your innate inner demon–neurologically wired to suffer.

Drugs might help–maybe–but the effect of drugs, especially pain killers and antidepressants usually wear off; what you need is a lifestyle that least stimulates the anterior cingulate gyrus, some set of circumstances in your life that gives your ACG the least reasons to jump up and down and signal warnings that life sucks.

Good luck! :laughing: (seriously! I don’t know how the hell you’re gonna do that).

All I can say is, if you get a grant to go to college and study medicine, study your fucking ass off! Like I say, I don’t know if you have the patience to do it, but if you’re gonna do something that you abhor (which is a given in life), might as well make it something that stands of chance of paying off in the long run.

I would of become a career criminal a long time ago in an organized crime fashion if it wasn’t for the fact that most criminals nowadays are certified idiots. I can’t tell you how many would be street career criminals I’ve run into who were just absolute fucking idiots. Add that with a modern digital electronic police state of surveillance and it just doesn’t pay.

If it was easy I would already be doing it everyday. Nowadays I am just a criminal of opportunity and convenience until the day law no longer matters.

If I ever did anything I would mostly do it alone.

My choice of focusing my attention in embalming has more to do with job security than my actual concern for other people.

I hate the assholes that invented menthol cigarettes. Turkish tobacco, accept no substitutes.

I look forward to the 2016 elections where once again the Murican moronic sheople participating in completely rigged elections find themselves commanded yet again by another sockpuppet asshole complaining that it wasn’t the vote of change they were hoping for. Democracy at its finest!

You can all suck on a big bag of dicks.

Surviving on the streets with no income most of the time gives one a lot of extra spare time to pursue other interests or hobbies. Time passes much more slowly while everybody is caught up in the proverbial rat race.

It gives you time to become more prolific in hunting, fishing, trapping, and surviving under severe weather climates amongst the wilderness learning a variety of survival skills pushing yourself to your very limits.

It gives one the perfect amount of time strolling around any town asking yourself that if the area lost control where one might be inclined to set up a sniper tower or where possibly a machine gun ambush could be precisely put.

Does that building have tools and resources? What’s their security system or organization like put into place?

What’s the local police standard response time? What kind of arms do they possess in an insurrection scenario?

Is that bullet proof glassing? What’s the fastest way in taking that out?

These country roads and highways look like a perfect place for a highway robbery.

That’s the great thing about realistic imagination, the one thing they cannot take away from you. Sometimes I just think about these things days at a time. I have so much empty time on my hands.

I hate feeling sick. Those Mucinex pills work wonders however.

I am also dealing with a horrendous tooth ache and running out of anti biotic pills.

My usual preferred poison of smoking cigarettes help me numb away the pain.

That is surely the Queen’s best song.

Indeed, it is. ^^^

It’s been three days since I was sick. Slowly starting to feel better. I can still barely eat anything.

Ha Ha Ha, dig this: it is because only a whisper of metaphor, that mystery seeks a balm, the CURE is the band to listen to, listen to the ‘Saints are Down’.
Works every time , well most of the time.

Mystery was originally written as misery but changed it, because of a pre ordinal connection. Once that connection is unveiled, it gathers an added dimension, and motivation.

What about the old camel turkish jade? Those were both menthol and turkish.

You’re right, I should of said non menthol turkish tobacco.

Do they still make those?

Yes.

In other news Deutsche Bank is undergoing structural financial problems where it could go the way of Lehman Bros before the next year out. Stay tuned to everything is Skittles shitting unicorns puking out rainbows where everything is awesome news with yours truly The Joker as your broadcaster.

Yesterday being that I am staying in town again I almost had to take this guy out with a metal baseball to the face.

I had to repeatively warn him what would happen if he challenged me. The guy around town is infamous for starting fights with everybody on the street and getting his ass handed to him every single time.

Some dumb people just do not learn I guess.

If he messes with me anymore it will end very badly for him.
