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?

The End of Heartache

     People always ask me why I haven't settled down. Well, as the great Russel Peters once said, "I love women. If I marry one, that means I love woman." Besides, I don't want to be stuck with Onegina. I believe monogamy is unrealistic and wastes people's time. I'll probably get a lot of flack from women out here, because they think that people should only "stick to one." If that's the case, then ladies I would like you to explain to me the appeal of Channing Tatum and the rest of Magic Mike. Or why Fifty Shades of Gray became a bestselling book when it primarily stands for abuse.

     Lechery and polygamy are ways of life that have been universally accepted into the public
consciousness, yet everyone will deny its potency and meaningfulness in our modern society. Take a close look at ads, movies, books, and pop culture. You see titles like "How to be a Good Mistress" by Dolly Ann
Carvajal, "The Art of Seduction" by Robert Greene, manuals on how to be discreet all over television, radio, and the Internet. Now are our morals as a society going down the drain? No, I think its because that as we progress in science and technology,we are finding that our basest instincts come into the forefront and have become harder to deny.

     Puritanism and old and tradition have been tenets of our society for centuries. I find nothing wrong with being traditional and following tradition. As a matter of fact, our whole society and way of life was founded on the basis of following tradition. However, we as a society have the great and unavoidable need to evolve and grow. The greatest innovations man has come up with have been based on breaking norms and what is considered regular trains of thought. If you go back a hundred years, would anyone ever have thought that people of different race and gender would generally be accepted and have somewhat equal rights as what is considered normal?

     We as a society are evolving. We as a society are also digressing into our primal states, it just so happens we are coming up with ways to express our animal instincts. At the end of the day, we are all nothing but animals, flesh, bone, sinew, and synapses. Our instincts, our wants, and our desires are what make us human. To deny them, or even to try, is to deny our humanity.
