Der Thesen Von Der Weihnachtsmann
Bad Example.
To elucidate my point (I fear until now such vertices- or should a say, “such a vertex,” seeing as there’s only one, really- have been shrouded in a mist of uncertain stupidity, much my own fault for fumbling about upon these surrogate Scrabble (c) tiles and then not erasing them), I introduce a totally and completely new anecdote with which to dazzle you: a phenomenon I have noted that is more the product of human nature than evil conspiracy (one does remember blog.vom’s tryptich, I should hope). The phenomenon of “note” (only so fittingly and punnily called so, by me) would be just that: a note (see?) that is purposefully distributed to many e-contacts via a certain social networking site. Seeing as the blog.vom hashishin robots so lovingly embrace me in their literally steely death-grips, this social networking site shall remain unnamed. But it does exist, I assure you. As corollary (read: not corollary at all), I shall speak of the notes allegedly stored upon this site. Or at least a certain type of them.
They consist mainly of mawkish poetry, and though I’d love to stretch myself for a stupid rhyme and call it more than mawkish, perhaps even Macaqueish, it would be a disservice to the many Macaques I know whom aspire to scribble at slates with their scaly claws as these mere infants do online. Indeed, such poetry is only redeemable because its bilious pomp and pretension renders it finitely humourous to such a pedantic misanthrope that would find it finitely humourous (making sense here, are we? good.). This type of filler wouldn’t even be fit to wrap fish in, because it’s not printed on newspaper or really anything at all, and you can’t wrap a fish in nothing or it’ll be naked and won’t be able to go to the ball where all the other fish, in their gaiety and costumes, shall surely mock it for its astringent grasp of fashionable to-dos. This is a tragedy, resplendent in the shimmering blues and greens of the naval where was I oh yes the writing is awful and they take themselves seriously and believe they have a whit of sensibility and weldschmerz that makes them so knowledgeable on all things, and isn’t it lovely that they’re there and have everything figured out and all the world’s going to echo with cries once they find somebody, anybody, who will indulge their child-like fantasy that there might be somebody as ignorant as them? Well, everybody’s as ignorant as each other, but that’s an introverted ignorance that sits in the corner by itself in its crinoline hosiery, not quite sure of its ability to revel and bask in its own crass stupidity with all the other band geeks who are perhaps a bit more well-acquainted. The redolence of a phase is overwhelming; indeed, this powerful stench is like ten thousand rotting logs basking in the Ibiza sun, waiting for hobos to carry them off to be burnt. And burnt they shall be, by the callused, weather-beaten hobos of time and misfortune, until every last one of the little sons and daughters of bitches have been cudgeled into the ground with such brute impunity that it is almost enough to make a completely objective and not bitter at all bystander to cry out some phrase smacking of equality and reverence for a truly leveled playing field. But at that point there will be a whole new generation of spoiled rotten little shits who hold the plastic key that came with their My Little Pony-brand diary who’ve become addled enough by the advertisements to think that they’re really the keys to understanding the world. So these whelps on the cusp of maturity will instead veer off onto a fertile plain not unlike whack-a-mole, where societal forces unbeknownst to anybody under 30 will hammer down upon them until they have all become adherent to ism. The aforementioned cliff that I never actually verbatim mentioned is certainly never inviting, and indeed I suspect that one must be pushed off of it at that age to truly know that it was there at all. Still. That does not make any of this less true.
By the way, the social networking site is Facebook. Don’t kill me, Blog.com-bot! I’m your friend!
