| no real link as such with the above "amazing fact", but the recent explosive entry of the shuttle columbia into the earth's atmosphere reminded me of the challenger "incident". (well, you could ask why a fundamentalist x-tian nation is building another tower of babel and pursuing science and y'know blah blah blah...especially given little man bush's post-bang speech about the glory of the astronauts' charred souls...) anyhoooo when i watched the challenger fireworks, i can remember very clearly i was sat in front of the tv with my dad behind me in his chair. i think my exact words were, "HA HA HA! DID YOU SEE THEIR FACES? [the familys of the astronauts] HA HA HA THEIR LOVED ONES JUST DIED...DID YOU SEE THEIR FACES..?!?!?!?" i can't remember my dad's exact words, but i do remember he tanned my backside with his slipper.... i see this as an early sign of the fact i was to grow up to be an hateful fuck ah sweet childhood memories... i thot nothing of the fact that my bottom received visits from slippers and hands and maybe once a belt (my uncle even bought me as a present a flat piece of handled wood with words "heat for the seat" on it, and a picture of a boy with a glowing posterior..."), until i mentioned it to matt and i'm sure he was thot it was a bit weird / unusual / unnecessary / etc. think i just considered this totally normal diciplining. i'n not criticising my parents, on reflection, they've probably done me more harm than good, but then they're only human.... day after day i see piece of shit kids making their piece of shit parents lives a misery (hmmm, on reflection, where's the problem?) and i just wouldn't put up with that from the spawn of my loins...don't worry, this penis is a non-inseminating penis...but y'know its not like i want to make my imaginary kids' lives hell and be a tyrant father but dear sweet jesu until they're out of the nest they've gotta be steered right. from the start. by the time they've become little shits, its probably too late to change yr genetic follies. i read recently about this girl who'd changed from a sweet young thing and turned naughty blah blah blah..anyhoo her mother tricked her into going to this "youth correctional" facility in mexico; where after many months and spent-out cash, she emerged..slightly better. if my parents had done that to me i would never smile at them again (hard enough to as it is...). fuck them. er, so the point is....don't have children. i thnik children are cool and they are fascinating BUT they grow into adults and unlike alligators you can't flush the fuckers down the toilet... tho you could bury them in the garden. DON'T BREED. make a stand and say "no more stupidity, it ends here" thus endeth the spiel. |
