I LEAVE THE TUBE SOCKS ON

the tube socks are on my feet...and I'm going running...usually I would change to ankle socks...but I know the tube socks are more comfortable...so this time I leave them on...normally I would change them...because they make me look square...but now I choose comfort over looks...and I realize this is a sign I'm getting old

I WISH I COULD BLAME THE DISEASE

they're lucky...because they get to call it a disease...and, for me, it's just a bad habit...I could call it a disease...but I'd be full of shit...I know it's just a bad habit...though I wish I could blame the disease...all the bad things I've done under the influence...it's the disease's fault...blame the disease...I'm not doubting the disease exists...I'm just saying I'm envious of those who have it...because those with the disease get a free pass...all their bad decisions become null and void...God, don't blame me, blame the disease...damn, I wish this bad habit could progress to the level of a disease...then my soul and conscience would suddenly be clean...I push hard to get this habit to the next level...but it never happens...it will forever remain just a bad habit...and I'll forever remain responsible for my actions

SIPPING ON A CUP OF DUNKINS

sipping on a cup of Dunkins...I'm torn with conflicting emotions...it has a strong scent of perfume on it...I'm assuming because whoever prepared it was wearing strong perfume...my coffee cup smells like pretty woman...but, on the other hand, I'm not sure I want my coffee cup smelling this way...I think I just want it smelling like coffee...I'm having trouble deciding whether I like this

LATENT VIRUS

It's been hiding out ever since the 1930s in Germany
And before that it had been hiding out since the 1600s
Witch Trials
Or maybe not even that long back
It is a virus that hides in the human DNA
It hides for years
But then when our immune system weakens
It seizes the opportunity
Comes out to play
Wreaks some havoc
Eventually it gets contained
Goes back into latency
And waits for its next opportunity

AND THEN CNN SAID SAID UNTO THE PEOPLE: "BOW YOUR HEAD AND PRAY TO POP CULTURE"

I watch CNN's special on the 80s
They're telling me everything important to know about the 80s decade
This includes TV shows
And other pop-culture
And then I realize it's all bullshit
They're presenting what I should know
And they want me to kneel
And show reverence to this pop culture
This is what matters, they say
But I realize none of it matters
It's all bullshit
They're programming my mind, I realize
Love pop culture
Bow your head
And pray
To pop culture
Condition the consumer
Condition me to consume pop culture
I shake that conditioning
And realize there's things that matter
But none is being discussed in this program
This is mind control
Thanks CNN
But no thanks
In fact
Fuck you CNN
I'm onto your bullshit
I'm not falling for your brainwashing
There's other shit that matters
Not this shit you're telling me matters
You say this is human excellence
But I say
No
We can do better

WHAT WAS RAPED OF ME WAS MY MORALITY

And then you take a look at yourself
You say, damn, I've made the ultimate sacrifice
I mean, I've made sacrifices before this
But this is the ultimate
I've gone so far down this "divine" path
And what was raped of me at the very end
Was my morality

What was raped of me
Was my morality

I've been demoralized
And I say, man, was it worth it
Probably not
This seems all very wrong
Nothing is worth being demoralized
Right
But then you think about your idea of morality
Have you been demoralized according to God
Or is it according to man
If it's the latter then I'm good
If it's the former then this has been all wrong
