    I have succumbed to being an inferior dolt.

    I am a reformed compulsive liar with a still lingering habit - unfaithful scruples.

    I am a good person with a big heart and even bigger ego with a larger void.

    I suck and I want the internet to know.

    "I suck and I want the internet to know."

    you'll need to use your real name, then.

    V?


By Nate on Thursday, October 20, 2005 - 11:36 pm:

    that's not V. is it? i refuse to check.

    there is too much clarity.


By wisper on Friday, October 21, 2005 - 12:00 am:

    i was gonna say, much too eloquent.


By dave. on Friday, October 21, 2005 - 01:55 am:

    evil is an immature and ridiculous word when used seriously. there are countless words or phrases that better communicate the concept of evil. in theory, the same goes for good, but in a society where goodness is expected and unremarkable and we are more readily defined by our bad behavior than our good behavior, good is usually a sufficient adjective for goodness. in other words, like the fear/love chart shown in donnie darko, people do good and people do evil but the bias is to casually acknowledge people for their goodness and to make a big stink about their evilness. goodness is marginalized by evilness because of the weight it is given by those affected by it. if you do good, well don't fix it if it ain't broke. however, if some evil slips in there, you got some serious problems.

    suddenly, i don't know what the point i'm trying to make is, or if i even care about it anymore, but i'll post it anyway.


By dave. on Friday, October 21, 2005 - 02:29 am:

    why am i so prone to publically delving into autodidactic (and autoannoying) buffoonery?

    i should save this shit for a personal journal or, even better, keep it to myself.

    sorry.


By Nate on Friday, October 21, 2005 - 10:04 am:

    i dunno dave., it made me think.

    godforbid.



    though it does sound like you're scooted just a little more evil on the darko chart than society as a whole, so society's is more apt to finger evil that doesn't seem all that bad to you, and less likely to finger good that you find exceptional.

    and in your case, i imagine it is an honest positioning based, to some degree, on introspection and lacking hypocracy.

    whereas, for society, it is based on artifical expectations and a false facade.

    what the original poster describes isnt anything close to evil...in a historical, cultural, religious sense. i take it thats the silly part dave.

    the concept and perpetuation of evil, in a serious conversation, is greater than man.

    though Im mostly ok with the injection of the word in casual conversation.

    i just love how dave views everything in a very conflict type manner. is your hair gray yet man?


By Decanted on Friday, October 21, 2005 - 04:10 pm:

    Well...

    I was listening to the 'Kill 'em All' album at the time I posted (and quickly realized that I wasn't in the mood for metal and switched to 'Air' instead by the time I left this site.

    So my use of the word 'evil' was tied to nothing more than a dimwitted instance of chanting the lyric and a lame attempt at provoking whatever thought that could be had which was at least interesting in reading your responses.

    I unfortunately had no one to confess my idiocy to and am hiding (and with no revel) behind anonymity to disclose that I am an idiot and wish I could be a nicer individual.

    I sincerely do.


By Nate on Friday, October 21, 2005 - 05:16 pm:

    that said, the correct answer is "yes I am".


By Decanted on Friday, October 21, 2005 - 06:05 pm:

    Nate - you could be right, in which case, it just depresses me even more both from the lyrics and just in general.

    I know what I do and am pretty certain about why I do them (no worries I am most definitely not killing anyone). However, I give and I give til my heart's tether runs shorter and shorter - and realize, again - too late that I should not have been giving.


    And thus begins another bleak winter.

    i have seen evil portrayed in various media

    in real life i have only seen the fear and the dumb


By droopy on Friday, October 21, 2005 - 06:39 pm:

    can't say that i've ever been ringside to too much evil. to my knowledge. i'm reading "reading lolita in tehran" right now, which makes me think about the arbitrariness of morality. and there's something in the back of my mind about nietzsche - who definitely used too many damn letters to spell his name - and the changing defintions of good and evil.

    but this is all i can muster. bad night, mal noche.

    which makes me think of that howlin' wolf song:

    it's a long way from home,
    can't sleep at night.
    call on your telephone;
    Something just ain't right.
    that's eeeevaaaal! evil is goin' on wrong.
    i'm warnin' ya bruthah,
    you better watch yo happy home.



By jack on Friday, October 21, 2005 - 07:00 pm:

    i'm engulfed in floetry.


By dave. on Saturday, October 22, 2005 - 12:54 am:

    i'm tired of my half-baked, boring, overwordy attempts to say something that doesn't matter and fails to really say anything.

    if i read somebody else posting some of the shit i write, i'd think they were tiresome and boorish.


    fuck bad moods.


By droopy on Saturday, October 22, 2005 - 01:49 am:

    i found a way to solve everybody's problems:

    leather pants

    (this made me laugh)

    In the highways, in the hedges,
    In the highways, in the hedges,
    In the highways, in the hedges,
    I'll be somewhere a-workin' for my Lord!

    I'll be somewhere a-workin',
    I'll be somewhere a-workin',
    I'll be somewhere a-workin' for my Lord!
    I'll be somewhere a-workin',
    I'll be somewhere a-workin',
    I'll be somewhere a-workin' for my Lord!
