Surviving Xmas


Christmas is coming and that means making big decisions about what you're gonna do on the day.
I recommend staying home and inviting friends and acquantances around to experience togetherness, instead of the feeling of being oppressed by hideously ingrown family bullshit.
You can drink and eat and drink and drink heavily and drink and no one will question your life choices and you can also drink as much as you want.
Not a bad deal is it? I'm not saying you have to divorce your parents, because setting yourself free of the police state that is the nuclear family is not for everybody.
Not all of us are ready to live a life free of actually-life-threatening blood ties.
For us practioners of Good Christmas, as you're eating delicious chops and snags and laughing with mates about how police horses are arseholes, you'll feel a weight lift off your shoulders because you chose the path of enlightened self interested instead of giving your police horse of a family another chance to trample your soul.

Definitely don't do a do nothing christmas day though, riding it out alone, watching movies or gaming, because with the feeling of emptiness that sets off you might as well get in the car and drive great distances to a location where your family can make you feel like less of a person.

It's a tough time of year, get a plan happening and don't let xmas ruin xmas. Oh and if you like police horses, don't eat meat or love your family, I apologise that this message wasn't written by you. I'm not sure how to fix that. Amen.

Hotdog Warlord

Image
  I was getting mad that the Wagner boss who seems to have attempted a coup in Russia is being called the “hotdog warlord”. Once upon a time he had a hotdog stand and I was displeased by what I saw as middle class wankers having one of their little laughs at such a working class activity. I was right that they are laughing, but I was wrong about what they were laughing at, which was of course hotdogs. In my rush to always shit on anyone in a suit, in an office, their pretentiousness and out of touchness, it was I who was out of touch, because hotdogs are funny. Sometimes people are just having a laugh. I don’t have to jump down their throats. I could try chilling out to be honest. Hotdog Warlord. How did I not reckon that was funny? What a humorless lefty piece of shit I am. What a terribly earnest party pooper. What a fuckin killjoy. I should be sent to the work camps in Siberia. I should be on a list. I should be transported to Australia and flogged with a cat’o’nine tails. In the 90

The Exciting Apple Vision Pro

Apple has an embarrassing new product that over-affluent parents are desperate to get their hands on. It’s a headset for looking at videos, that you control with your eyeballs! It’s also goggles you wear to watch the videos you made while it was on your head earlier- before the divorce- and it takes you back to those precious moments? Because the same thing is on your head? Imagine being reminded that you lost your kids because you were a too cashed up nerd, every time you look at a video of your children. Who don’t love you anymore. I joke, because I irrationally hate, but a Youtube guy who tried out this gadget was seriously excited about collecting memories with his child. Yes, bro, they grow up so fast, so strap a shame thing onto your face and gather up all those images of your child becoming increasingly alienated from you because the only part of your face they can see is your weird smile. Your strange techno smile. Your disturbing, self satisfied shitty lips. Your weird fucked

Fuck, Dude

I am listening to Morbid Angel’s Altars of Madness.  The other week the doctors told me I have diabetes, which is awesome, because I thought I had cancer. And diabetes just means I have to ease up on sugar and sugar’s for kids anyway. And you might think I’m being flippant or glib or blase, or immature, or in denial, but diabetes? Is that all? I’m not saying I deserve more, but can I humbly suggest I’ve put the work in over the decades? I’ve had a bottle, can or glass in one or both of my hands at every social situation I’ve ever been to. I’ve lost count of the panic attacks I’ve had walking into a people event and trying to look like I’m not sprinting toward the bar for the debilitating assistance of boozcohol.  There’s a lot of shit I wouldn’t have done if I didn’t drink so much, however I wouldn’t have drinked so much if I had known I was autistic and I wouldn’t have been autistic if it wasn’t for those goddamned vaccines! Just joking, I won’t hear a word against vaccine programs, u
