The Darker side of Fiction

Dear Wall street

Dear Wall Street,

I am writing in order to make you aware of your injustice to the middle class. As the unemployment rate rises, so does your profit. If there is good reason for this, I’d love to know it; otherwise I think it can be safely assumed that you may not even care about the jobs that are lost because of your outsourcing. If there is no good reason, I’d like you to do me a favor. Find yourself a former employee, see how his or her life is going since you shipped the company to China. Ask them how their life is, and wait for what their answer might be.

Despite what you may think, you aren’t doing good things for this nation, in fact, quite the opposite. What you do is slightly reminiscent of vampirism, feeding off the weak who are unable to defend themselves. You may think I am some anti-capitalism pig,(which those who represent you are so eloquently fond of saying in front of news cameras)however you’d be grotesquely mistaken. Free market is what makes this country great, but free market controlled by the wealthiest people is not free at all. It is not even capitalism, it is Mercantilism.

how is gay marriage a threat to the 'sanctity' of marriage?

why are people afraid of gays getting married? how can it possibly affect already existing marriages? it can't. unless....you or your husband/wife is having an affair with one of the men or women.

Tres Bien

Tres Bien

I, the living paint brush

move across the barren canvas called Earth,

and seek to spread my colors across humanity

Ever changing, never static, blind and unaware.

I am you.

Walking through a snow covered forest, a savage foe approaches. He is not bear or wolf, or mountain lion, he is man, slowly creeping into my haven in the trees. The trees speak to those who will listen, and I have listened for many years. Their branches bend and sway in the wind, but the trees cannot sense what I can sense, a monster comes to pillage my home.

-First Paragraph of The Chronicles of Merrick

Leaves

Leaves

They fall like the tears of a broken heart

they fall from the trees as if nothing but a passerby.

Off to go down the path they've chosen for themselves.

These leaves, like I, drift further and further away from where they came,

until nothing that they leave behind remembers them.

They are but memories, fluttering away with the wind,

memories soon forgotten.

But these leaves create something in their solitude,

they create a paradise for their own existence.

it is theirs, and theirs alone, never to be shared.

Are people so different?

Just like the sunlight

I rise and fall each day

Only in the moonlight

Are my best accomplishments made

I sleep through the daylight

My name is Pere du Nuit

American music

2010-10-04T20:55:00.000-07:00

american music after the year 2004 has just been disgraceful in my opinion. if you want to be known as 'not mainstream' (although almost every high school age kid listens to bands like 'the devil wears prada', yeah they're considered "not mainstream")you have to be basically in the 'core' genre. i can't remember how long it's been since somebody said how awesome a band like The Jesus and Mary Chain is, usually when i talk to someone who thinks they have a decent music taste, they can only name post-hardcore bands like Bring me The Horizon, yet when you ask them their opinion The Sex Pistols, they'll say "who the hell are they?" when you get somebody over the age of 20 who listens to crap like BMTH, then it's really insulting, and it's insulting because you'd hope that by the time you get out of high school, you have your own opinions, not opinions that your friends gave you.
As a college freshmen at the age of 21, you'd be surprised how little people change from highschool. the other day a student in one of my classes said something unbearably immature and all i could do was shake my head and continue reading....and i really forgot where i was going with this blogpost.

the november elections

2010-10-04T20:48:00.000-07:00

i think it's clear what the tea party republicans and republicans in general want to do to things like social security and veteran benefits...privatize them. in other words they'd become like health insurance benefits. you pay a premium to recieve them. basically a gigantic slap in the face to our veterans and elderly. as if their lives aren't difficult enough, if this succeeds it will drastically change the lives for the worse of veterans/elderly people. so please, if you're reading this do whatever you can to make sure this doesn't happen. as in vote democrat or for whatever other party is against this dishonor.
