General madness

Am I the only one who thinks it would be great fun to go temporarily insane?
A truly mad person is in all likelihood the only person on earth who truly believes; and never doubts for a moment, their own sanity.
Wouldn't it be nice, if only for a short time, to feel such certainty about the matter?

Even if you WERE to believe that God lives in the big house across the street-
the one with the polkadot curtains, which emits the overpowering smell of potatoes.
That the ants are stealing your thoughts and selling them to the wily badger that is plotting your downfall from inside his sinister, underground den, reciting FIERY propoganda before a packed house of mice, stoats, vole, and other vermin.
To say nothing of the fact that you believe with the firmest conviction that the "advil people" are in collusion with the badger, and are trying to slow your cat like reflexes, so- BAM! the badger can get you...

It'd still be worth it...

I must say that I always did wonder about insanity...I really wanted to experience it. Then I encountered the world of paranoid delusions and realized a couple of things: I glamorized insanity, it's heaps scarier than one would think; also, I'm rather prone to it. Great. Dont long for becoming crazy, even a short time. so not worth it, unless you want to completely withdraw from humanity and submerse into youself.

Welcome to my world.

That's the secret. We already are...quite mad, as it were.
Mad as a hatter in a traffic jam...
rabid badgers indeed.

Erroneous Monk said...

Stupid badgers. I'm more jack rabbit like. Twitchy.

John's a vole. N'uff said.

Erroneous Monk said...

Quiet badger boy. Ill tempered and territorial.

HEY!
I leave the urine trail so you can tell when you've entered my territory. It's hardly my fault that you walked heedlessly into it, and I was forced to maul you...

Erroneous Monk said...

My poor ears. And why do you always bring up urine trails?

Heliantheae said...

marijuana is satan

Erroneous Monk said...

A lesson well learned dear jen. I prefer to keep my body a temple. No booze, smokes or drugs for me.

Just STD's.

Shuddap your face! 14 is a healthy number!

the philosopher one said...

splendid discourse, better than the prattle I must put up with at my chosen work place, sweet release.

Erroneous Monk said...

Hence why you must rant on this thing. Thats why we made it. That and the Feds are after me...

Heliantheae said...

"The impulse of the American woman to geld her husband and castrate her sons is very strong." May I say that this is like the best steinbeck quote like, ever. ha ha ha.

Anonymous said...

And it seems very, very true...sadly. What a mess we've inherited...
That Steinbeck...

Erroneous Monk said...

You said "like" in a sentence while typed. Ugh. Valley Girls.

Heliantheae said...

I am no valley girl. i did that for emphasis...somehow. A mess we've inherited? hmmm...i think not - nuture, doll, not nature. inherited is the woman's desire to be defined by men. here she is submissive, and horribly so; steinbeck is showing the over-correction females use in Western society, one which is an attempt to protect themselves from this vulnerablitiy.

Erroneous Monk said...

Womens place is in the kitchen. Now to write my will.

Heliantheae said...

oh, you dont need a will. you'll merely be tortured - experiencing agonizing pain for many years to come.

we should all do something. something exciting, rahter soon. that could be fun

Anonymous said...

I meant the world in general,
that we have inherited from the previous generation...or will, when they are entirely gone...and which they inherited from the generation before them.

Erroneous Monk said...

Huzzah torture! And Doing things! Its warm and we need to be out late at night. These are the laws of the universe.

Heliantheae said...

jeff...you make no sense

Erroneous Monk said...

Its the drugs and drinkin m'dear. I'm just too real.

Heliantheae said...

does the irishman still live?...havent seen him around...

Anonymous said...

Bah, I'm alive...aint nothin' that'll get me. Take that fate.

Erroneous Monk said...

he just needs to post is all. Same with everyone else on this infernal thing.

Heliantheae said...

so...the pretty one has a car...

Erroneous Monk said...

Indeed I do. No liscence but a car I got. D'oh the irony. 05 matrix dark blue.

1) i love jack rabbits! did you know that they change colour when the season changes?!

2) i didn't give john stds so john, where the hell did you get them from?! we need to talk.

3) has anyone else noticed this? but jen is the girl version of andrew...has anyone ever thought of the two of them getting together? usually i'd follow such statements w/ "they'd make hot babies" but i kind of secretly hope andrew would never reproduce. the world would end. but SERIOUSLY, JENN & ANDREW SITTING IN A TREE, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!!
