A human dissected....

Not just all the moving parts and biological functions...

But the "Human Experience" laid bare.

To hunger to rape to want to steal to brutalize to starve to brave to sigh to cower...

All of it... And all of it meaningless.

What will you take with you? Your skin-tone... all ten fingers... your need to shit...

Your human hunger?

I don't believe in forgiveness.

I don't believe it is either truthful or at all essential.

It's another crutch that zombies use to limp along through the world on.


I have always known that "human" is a relative definition.

I paw at my skull because I feel something inside... a true BEING wanting to come out.

For the most part, I behave as humans do.

Adhering to the customs and cultures of this strange race allows me to survive long enough to possibly remember...

To remember what I was before being born into such a fragile and helpless creature at mid stride of it's species' adolescence.

The anger and loneliness and lust and the obsession...

Ahhh but the fear....

The Fear is such a sweet thing this terror.

The true fear of being completely annihilated is such sweet freedom from corporeal bondage.

Walking unarmed in complete darkness along a haunted and dangerous highway and singing to the demons there.

Speeding down a bloodstained mountain path on a rainy night with no lights on.

A mosh-pit hundreds of miles from home in an unfriendly crowd.

Sitting down in front of a murderer and rapist...seeing everything that he is... and letting him fuck your essence while the tears run down your face from unblinking eyes until HE finally turns away.

I hardly even get adrenalized anymore.
That's not the rush I'm talking about.

It's the moment where you've laid your programming aside and have bared everything it was there to protect.





 

 

Via Sinistrea...

Widely Noted Blogger gone MIA from the blogging world!

If you're at all familiar with me and my online persona, then you're familiar with one of my favorite reads:

Airborne Combat Engineer

It's a decent read if you like guns, politics, and hate John Kerry... Or just want a good look at his anti-war record.

Here is a Cut-and-paste of the last message I left on his typepad page:


"David Driskell has gone MIA from the blogging world. The main URL that pointed to the typepad account is now up for grabs and he seems not to have logged in to typepad since his last post. That I know of, he has not responded to emails sent to him at the adresss linked to on this page.

I'm doing all the checking I can from here right now, but I can't help imagining that he's either found a more active role in The War on Terror or that something more tragic has happened.

It could be that he has lost interrest as his last few "Hitching Posts" have vuagely indicated.

Mind you, blogging can really consume a LOT of your life, and I've considered dropping the whole thing stone cold on the floor many times myself.

I sincerely hope this is the case and it's not anything more.

We'll miss you (even and maybe especially your most long-winded adversaries) on the Blogshpere, ACE... Our best wishes.
