Begin Transmission

That's it, let it all out. Let the waterworks flow, get it out of your system. Are you finished? Now we can begin. If I divide by zero does the universe implode? If I drain these walls of years of insane banter what then will make me worse? Is there a whole totality to all of this? Humanity, in its quest to reach its peak, has created several ways to destroy itself and oftentimes congratulates itself for it. First we destroy our houses, then our schools, our jobs and when we have destroyed everything in our path, we destroy our spirits. We destroy each other in so many ways, some like a saccharine tasting wine while some, a brutal yet intense connection. And of course being the theatrical beings that we are, let everything build up while our eyes are closed. We let ourselves get comfortable in our own skin first. And once everything has settled and the guarding eye becomes complacent, we destroy ourselves with one fell swoop. We cut off each others wings and laugh at each others bloody backs, all of us smiling as we do. We spray each others eyes with acid and push ourselves into brick walls. We smash our own faces, whether we do it ourselves or with a little help from others. We destroy that we detest, and become monsters ourselves in the process. Look. An airplane you're flying on's right engine has burst into flames. a quick gust of wind slaps your face, and all you see are bits and pieces of what used to be the airplane's interior flying in front of you. People are being sucked into what seems like a hole in the wall. You see the expressions on their faces and hear their screams as they soar through the air. You notice a relative hanging onto your seat, with his or her weight slowly pulling your seat into the rip in the airplane. All this in under five seconds. What do you do?

Level playing field

I hate good boys, or people who deceive themselves. Yeah, you heard me right. Those self-righteous, "wouldn't hurt a fly" types are deceiving themselves. They think that they can make everybody believe how incredibly squeaky clean they are but those are the ones you watch out for. These are the people who sin less tend to make up for it by the gravity of their sins. How many times have you heard about that one postal service guy who shot all those people suddenly one day? Where do you think the term "going postal" came from? Everybody and anybody will always do some form of deception or evil at one or more points of their lives.

By hook or by crook, it all boils down to what YOU want. They want you to believe that they're perfect men. Perfect people. Well, guess what? There are no perfect people. We are all on a level playing field. Think of a rating system for attributes. One guy might get a 9 on the looks scale, but a 1 in the personality department. Or someone with a 2 for looks may have an 8 for money. Come on, let's not fucking deceive ourselves. You may say that you could fall for a scrub, but some women DO fall for the money. Back on track, both these fools could land as much attention as the other. One might argue that some people have high marks in a lot of departments and that isn't fair. These people too have shortcomings, and as one of my favorite phrases goes it's "only human" and lack something else. Just ask yourself what that shortcoming could be. The world is a level playing field, gentlemen. It's not how strong or fast you are, it's how you play the game.

So whenever you see one of those "undeserving" types walking around with scores of the opposite sex around their arms just say to yourself, "only human."
