The Pleasure Paradox
Everything that brings joy is supposedly bad for you. Sex can result in disease, death, an even worse, children. Food makes you fat. Booze rots your liver. And weed is the most evil of all: it makes you hungry, thirsty, and horny. What to do in such a Quakerish reality?
Considering that no one gets out alive, and death is a most certain promise, it only makes sense to embrace pleasure. If a person has to die the only logical way to go about it is to do what makes that person most happy.
If it pleases a person to drink -- tip a glass...or twenty.
If a person prefers to fornicate -- fuck it (literally so).
If a person possesses a multitude of complex taste buds and desires to utilize every one -- Eat it, and you shall be it.
What is most worthy: Living 80 years and only enjoying 40 of them? Or living 60 and enjoying everyday?
The only caveat: Don't boohoo when the bill comes due. I won't cry when I die, and neither should you.

Poetry
I drink so much
and have so much
sex
that I have
to abstain from
religion
A man can have
only so many
vices
and have so much
sex
that I have
to abstain from
religion
A man can have
only so many
vices
Drinks on the House
A guy dressed in all white goes into a saloon. White bowler hat, white shirt, white sports coat, white handkerchief, white slacks, white socks, and white leather shoes with white cleats.
The bartender asks, "Why are you dressed like that?"
The guy answers, "I'm trying to see how long I can remain clean."

New Year's Resolution
I make ten resolutions every new year and I’ll be lucky to accomplish about a third of them. This year the most important one is to avoid presidential politics in order to live a happier more peaceful life. So this will be the last thing I ever write about American politics.
Politics is manipulation of public opinion, instead of doing the greater good. It leverages people’s outrage for nefarious purposes. It turns people into vile automatons who wish evil upon their neighbors and fellow man.
Social media has brainwashed normal people into fearmongering fascists who have no critical thinking skills. They are mere receptacles who regurgitate the propaganda spoon-fed to them by mass media. This media is an aggressive 24/7 device of propaganda, and social media amplifies it. I avoid these zombies now. Brainwashed people make bad allies because they will turn on you when told to. They have zero appreciation for civil liberties and history, and anyone who thinks differently than they do is immediately labelled a conspiracy theorist. Liberals today follow the Richard Nixon playbook. America is changing into a fascist technocratic country with these liberals leading the charge. I always thought Bush-type of republicans would be the ones to usher in this sort of fascism, but maybe there’s no real difference. Both parties are controlled by the same power structure. Democracy is a hoax. I knew my vote didn’t matter in 2000, the dudes rushing the capital building recently found out that Santa Claus isn’t real. It's ironic, liberals denouncing that protest had no problem defending the multiple riots of the past year. It's the tower of Babel being destroyed all over again and both sides are being played to dislike each other. This is all planned, and I refuse to participate on either side. The one “language” that could unite the world is democracy and it’s being destroyed by useful idiots on both sides. Count me out.
Adults root for their favorite septuagenarian like rabid teenagers at WrestleMania. Idiocracy is here. Trump is 74 years old, Biden 78 going on a hundred, Pelosi 80 in the shade or else her plastic cheeks will melt and run like mascara. We’re being “controlled” by old Night of the Living Dead zombies. They will introduce legislation to improve our lives right after they get done debating the benefits of alternating current versus direct current. Biden prefers whale blubber to Illuminate the cobblestone city streets. I just received a horse and carriage bumper sticker proclaiming, “Make America great the first time. Vote Biden 1920.” He forgot what year he was in.
Be honest, would you trust your elderly grandparents to go shopping alone in Costco? Yet you have no problem voting for them to run the country. (psst, they’re just figureheads, they don’t run anything but their mouths.)
Biden’s new campaign slogan: Bingo is a young man’s game.
When I turn on the news all I see are a bunch of pissed-off old people angry that they have to spend their golden years debating things that they don’t even care about. Wow, what a waste of time. (disclaimer: this blog post was sponsored by Metamucil and rocking chairs. Vote like your life Depends on it.)
I’m not a fan of Trump but liking Joe Biden is like liking a dog that’s been dead for three days. It stinks, and its glassy eyes and lifeless smile will reaffirm whatever philosophy you cling to. Hypocrisy is supporting BLM protests then voting for the man with dementia who was an architect of the War on Drugs, Mass Incarceration, and student loan debt. “Vote” is basically a phrase to shut you up. Why would a sane human being vote for their oppressor? Creating a strong third party that actually cares about the American people is a more logical alternative, unless you like voting for the same crook wearing a different mask every 4 years. DNC/RNC, two sides of the same coin.
Politicians latch onto divisive topics for their own selfish purposes. They’re more than willing to pull the country apart for their own gains, even though Americans have more in common with each other than they do differences. Everyone loves their family. Everyone wants to make a decent living. Which begs the question, why don’t politicians seek out the ways in which Americans are similar instead of concentrating on the few ways we’re different? The answer is that they are following orders from their globalist leaders. Everything is scripted, the heroes and villains, and the drama unfolds in order to usher in a technocratic authoritarian government, where the citizens are told what to believe and freedom of speech no longer exists.
The fascists on both sides of the aisle have accelerated climate change to the point of being irreversible so instead of doing the right thing they are consolidating wealth and power while welcoming an extinction level event so they can be gods in their gardens of Eden. This is what’s happening now. Climate change mass migration will either weaken their police states or provide the impetus for stronger ones. And when the shit hits the fan in 2050 it will become obvious that the previous oligarchy way of doing things didn’t work. The key to try and change this future from unfolding is to convince the masses now that they’re being played, before the tumult. The free soul screams, yet it seems everyone now is screaming what they’re told. Which will look like a whimper in future history books, if we’re allowed to have them.
The pandemic has revealed people’s true natures: fearful, easily manipulated, vicious, and prone to mob behavior. I want nothing to do with them, or politics. I’m going to ignore the circus and instead, focus on living a happy life instead of blaming my failures as a human being on the political puppets dangled over the nation every four years. Elections are charades of rage. No thanks.

Litmus Test
What if humanity
never existed
and there wasn’t
any history?
How would you treat
a person
you meet
tomorrow?

That Never Comes
I’m not seeing eye to eye with the all-seeing eye
It sees everything and I feel blind.
Vaccines made to steal
I ask why?
It seems
that eye has become blind.
Thought I saw a flying octopi outside,
Must’ve been gazing into Nemo’s 3rd eye.
Just call me D-Nice,
actually my name is Heatt, just say it thrice.
Most rich people look dead inside
Lost the fire in their eye
I wonder why?
I wrote a rhyme while Clipping Coupons
Some people have hollow eyes
Not a lack of depth
but a look of death
Like their life has been hollowed out
and all they have is a biological remnant
of something (they left)
Vital once, but now benign
resigned
Waiting for that one last time
to feel alive
It sees everything and I feel blind.
