“Be Kind”
"be kind" is what my brother said to me last night when he saw the look on my face that followed his soon to be father in laws words……Why is it that we are always asked to understand the other person’s viewpoint no matter how out-dated, foolish or obnoxious?…One is asked to view their total error… their life-waste… with kindliness. Especially if they are aged….. But is not our age the total of our doing?!…They have aged badly because they have lived out of focus, because they have refused to see!!!…..ohhh, not their fault? whose fault?….mine? …….I am asked to hide my viewpoint from them for fear of their fear!….age is no crime…but the shame of a deliberately wasted life……among so many deliberately wasted lives……..IS!!
I am in Northern Michigan reading The Sun Also Rises on the deck of a lake house in a place called Traverse City. I am with a small group of people who until a few days ago were mostly strangers to me. My brothers fiancé’s family….The city is beautiful and I had no idea any of the great lakes water could look so clear (I’m used to lake Erie)….But the down side is that these sweater vests are a horribly obvious group of pretentious, up tight, douche bags who spew whatever second hand bullshit they just heard on fox news out at you like their opinions carry weight and importance that corresponds directly with the price of their lake house and car….With each passing hour my teeth get through another layer of my tongue and I am very curious just how many more self indulged, classless, under informed comments it will take to break through the rest it, releasing my rage upon their fat, out of touch, troll like asses …. If it wasn’t for them giving me full use of the speed boat whenever I wanted I would have drank two bottles of their most expensive wine, pissed Ron Paul 2012 into their white sofa and drove my ass to the casino hotel on night one!….Bunch of awful jackasses my brother has gotten himself involved with….and the worst part is he doesn’t mind. He listens contently and quietly as they banter back and forth about meaningless bureaucracy…He actually seems to be pleased to be part of the group….I want to slap the stupid out of him….but he seems really happy….and who am I to take that from him…no matter how much it makes my skin crawl….at least his blind, ignorant ass is happy………………………..
But I will tell you this! The moment these sorry wastes of jizz start making him unhappy…And im certain they will… this type of cocksucker always will….And I’m sure his fiancé will trade up in a few years for some yacht club boat boy of something in 5 years or less…But whenever it happens…. I’ll be there on the cool clear water in front of this stupid fucking lake house…standing on their big expensive speed boat that I hot wired the night before… Lighting the fuse to the cannon I had welded to the bow…as I hoist up the jolly Rodger, chug a bottle of rum and laugh like a madman while I watch them scatter like roaches when the whole shit show goes up in flames!
Muahah ahahahh muuaaahh hahahah will Eco for miles around the lake as they beg their convenient god "Why me?"
…..One of them just brought me a fruit plate and smiled through their teeth at me….
Fucking motherfuckers think I can be bought…..
And maybe I can be….
but no
t for some fucking fruit plate!!!
