Where has our culture gone?

We have degenerated into vile abominations with no sense of culture or taste. Is this what the vicissitudes of fate and change have decreed for ourselves? No, I am not referring in any way to nationalistic culture..that sort of culture will tear human civilization apart one day eventually. I am referring to our long lost love for the arts, good music, poetry. It has all been replaced by today's cursed pop culture and reality television.

Gone are the times when we could sit back and appreciate the true touching underlying tones of writers like Yeats or Tennyson. We have replaced the proverbial vox populi with that of mindless ingrates like Jay-Z or Beyonce or even that pompous oaf Kanye West. What are we going to hand the future generation? Music that makes no sense? Music that reflects on how many "pimped out" cars the individual possesses and how many "bitches" he's got in his "crib"? Don't get me wrong, music is a wonderful thing, but when lyrics that can be compared to fecal matter gets passed off as music, that's where it all goes downhill. Music or art or words are a way of expressing yourself, this much I know, but I am pretty sure that I am speaking for myself when I say I am sick and have had it with the way it's all being commercialized and marketed nowadays with the title of "Art" attached to them

These people are not artists by a long shot, they are just businessmen/women trying to make a quick buck, and the general populace is willing to give it all to them while sacrificing centuries of art, music and literary works. I know that I do not appreciate the great composers or artists or writers of times gone by as much as I would like to, but damn it they deserve better than this.

And what's it with people typing or writing in English that makes no sense nowadays?
For example "yo ma bitch be fyn, i fink i mite haf da flu". WHAT PART OF THIS CONSTITUTES THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE??? Does "fink" sound anything like "think"?? "f" does not sound anything like "th". Go on say it. What makes you wannabe cool parasites think it's cool? It makes you look fucking retarded that's all. Even 4th graders have better English than you and I'm being nice. Christ, Shakespeare must be rolling over in his grave, oh wait i forgot, your too dumb to even know who he was.

I'll end off with one of my favorite lines by Yeats

"HAD I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."

Have a nice day

Nice Guys

Like get off your damn knees seriously.......you know no matter whatever you do, you'll always finish last. Deny it all you want, but that's the gospel truth. You'll fall for someone, but the same thing happens every time doesn't it? You get friendzoned, get treated like crap when she doesn't need you, and then when she feels like crap, your automatically expected there to comfort her, to give her your shoulder to lean on. And what happens once she's done with you? That's right you are cast off like an old doormat, till she needs you again. It's a vicious cycle.

Now I'm not saying that you should be an asshole 24/7, but for the love of god and all mankind, stop running to her everytime she needs you, let her figure out for once that your not her bitch, let her figure out that the purpose of your very existence does not serve to placate her every need and want. You too have a right to be happy, and if that means ignoring and treating her like crap, then so be it. Though I must warn you, if you and the girl are indeed in love with each other then forget whatever i said and make sure you treat each other just the way you want to be treated.

Like bloody hell guys, your making the rest of the male species look bad by mollycoddling and sucking up to each and every girl you "think" you want to give yourself to. By all means be her friend(if that's all you want too), but don't leap off your butt at her ever beck and call. You deserve better than that. Do you really think its worth all the effort if you crush on someone, and then she goes oh i don't want to ruin our friendship, your too good for me blah blah blahhhhhhohhhhjustgrowsomeballsalready....

Ignore what I said, and keep wondering what the hell is wrong with you when the girl your crushing on runs to some other guy, then comes back to you to cry on your shoulder because he treated her like crap, and then runs back to him again. I know, after all I used to be your regular nice guy before. Now I don't give a damn about anyone except 5 people (my rents, my brother, my best friend, and you...you know who you are <3).

This world gives you the opposite of whatever you give to it, you be nice and all that jazz, and sooner or later, everyone's going to walk all over you. Grow some fucking balls and the next time she calls you asking you to come over and comfort her , say NO!!

May the force be with you

Why chivalry may or may not be dead.....and why it's damn right justified...

What is chivalry? According to google chivalry is characterized by the qualities idealized by knighthood, such as bravery, courtesy, honor, and gallantry toward women. Sounds pretty romantic to you women and pretty lame to you guys doesn't it?

Going back to the medieval ages....women were looked down upon as weak, yada yada yada...of course that doesn't apply to this epoch where chicks are essentially the same as guys, same pay, same rights, well maybe just more annoying ha ha. But yeah opening doors for guys and chicks alike isn't chivalry anymore imo, its just common courtesy, but if I'm opening the door for you, don't stand there with the make-up chipping off your face and fucking give me the death stare imagining that I'm doing what i did to get into your fucking pants. There's nothing in the least bit special about you, you wannabe Paris Hilton....in fact if i had my way, her and all of your kind(the afore mentioned wannabe kind) would be rotting away in concentration camps like Auschwitz, Flossenberg or Nuremberg .....of course till you come to your senses.

Coming back to the topic at hand, I believe chivalry is indeed dying, and for a very very good reason too.....no it's not because we guys are lazy to do anything special for you chicks anymore, the reason is one very special simple word.....feminazism.....yeah feminazism (Thank you Rush Limbaugh). Sure we know you girls are equal to us in every way and I'm delighted to admit that, but for the fucking sake of Christ in heaven, stop shoving it down our throats every fucking second. Like i mentioned before, assuming that we are being chivalrous just to get into your pants, assuming that we think your just objects to fuck around with, assuming that we are irresponsible maniacal doouchebags is what you feminazis are so good at.

Don't get me wrong, feminism is good, but don't fucking overdo it, I mean you don't see every single guy going around saying "Hey I'm better than you bitch"....so even if you don't go around saying it, we can sense it in the way you talk and by that look in your eyes ( yeah every guy knows what I'm talking about).

That being said, I don't mind being chivalrous and stuff for my girl(=/) but if she expects me to be like that 24 fucking 7, she's gonna get the boot, plain and simple. No guy likes to be a woman's bitch (unless your into that sort of kinky shit)....so don't fucking expect us to open doors for you everywhere.....especially when I'm juggling my lunch, my student card and my ipod....common sense should tell you that I'm the one who needs the door opened for myself, not you....so get stepping wannabe.....oh and if you think I care about how your gonna feel about that....I'm sorry...the falls are that way, go jump the fuck off.

The follow up as i promised

Alright hey all

I was gonna wait this weekend to let loose my human side, but eh, I'm bored and in class and no time like the present. I realize my last rant had a little bit of a psychotic or to put it in slightly better terms, somewhat of a terse nature.

Every human has two sides to him, two alter-ego's if you will, hm how do i put this in perspective, people have a good side and a bad side, a light side and a dark side.....today I'll focus almost entirely on the good side......though I should point out all those of you who deny that they have that bad side to them, or that they have never harbored some kind of "bad" feeling are all pathological hypocritical liars.

And anyways how would one define bad.......is bad just a nonsensical term that you do-gooders use to make us outcasts, to make us pariahs of an organized society that demands we conform to it's norms or else....I define bad as something that affects another person in a way that harms them and not yourself

For instance, if you smoke, your just hurting yourself, but never ever smoke near someone who is a non smoker, your endangering their health. You obviously need that smoke really bad, go ahead and take one, you deserve every bit of that nicotine and tobacco to relax you, but don't ...for the love of everything that's good on God's green earth don't harm that other person. Same goes for alcohol or MJ or whatever the heck it is you use to lighten yourself up. But that also doesn't mean all you self righteous fatuous parasites have any right to criticize the people who do ingest these substances.......if they don't affect you in any way you can crawl right back into that hole you came from, we don't need any sort of fustigation from you whatsoever.

Okay I'm digressing like I always do.

Like I said, I have a good side too, just like everyone else, it just remains dormant whenever it needs to be, after all I have conditioned myself that way. You see.....when you let that side come out way too much, what do you get, people who use you in every way possible and then pull a Quisling on you. I'm not suggesting you become a complete asshole or a bitch.....all I'm saying is there is absolutely no need to pander to and slave for those sybarites and sycophants that are commonplace in your everyday life.

Once again I digress....yes at one point in my life I used to be a good guy, always helpful, always jumping at the opportunity to stand by and listen to other people's bs to help them feel better. Then something that i don't care to mention yet happened and now surprise surprise, that side lies buried. But that still doesn't mean I won't stop to help someone who i feel is in desperate need of help and who i feel won't rely on me too heavily in the future to bail them out again. I used to be that kind of guy who'd feel bad if a friend felt bad, well doesn't really go that way anymore for anyone except my best mate. Years of experience have taught me never to trust anyone again so easy, for once again, humans perform exceptionally well when it comes to toying around with another human's emotions.

Always remember, before you do something, think hard....will you gain something out of it? if yes by all means go ahead and do it, if all your getting out of it is just an unfeeling thanks, then drop it like a hot potato. So yes, through my words I appear to be cold, unfeeling, almost as if I was made of stone.....maybe I just want the world to think of it that way.

Arrivederci

Jason
