You’re an egotistical… The sad part is, you know it and you like it…

Published by t3hwiz0rd on August 25, 2009 in Uncategorized. 0 Comments

This post is in part dedicated to a now-former coworker:

Over the last few years I have been (mis)blessed with the chance to intermingle with many different types of people. Some experiences were good, most were bad, and some were just not worth even remembering. I’ve learned valued lessons from even the worst of the people that I had to encounter… So here comes a little post to one person:

You, the back-stabbing, ego-bending, self righteous and materialistic Bitch. Hereon known only as Bitch.

Here are my views and thoughts on you, Bitch. You’ve come a long way on Daddy’s check, and it’s impressive just how much babying a grown woman can carry you. You’ve managed to find a man who can stifle his vomit long enough to nail you… And really, let’s face it, that’s why he is with you… You’ve accomplished some by over glorifying a little. You drive your Mercedes Benz around, the used one your father gave you, as if it is a social status icon… And yet, what really are you?

You whine and groan about the struggles of reality and the hardships of life. You complain that you should get more while working less; that you’re entitled to what others have whilst providing less. You complain about your job, which is a fairly simple one that entails plenty of time spent on your ass. You bitch and grope about the minuet things that you must put up with, you do it in such a manor that it begs for compliment and stride.

You’re so self-absorbed you’ve convinced yourself that every male wants you, every woman envy’s you. You’ve convinced yourself that the ring on your finger symbolizes something other than your ability to whip a man into shape using your pussy. You take any male attention as a focus toward desire, you take any female attention as a negative force driven. You’re an idiot, plain and simple.

Although Bitch feels she has reached a higher level in life she must have missed a very specific part of aging: Status and respect are widened in the eyes of the beholder; behold that no one is impressed with a sloppy, shitty, tacky nurse who can only function by saying “But Daddy, please? the Mercedes is important to me because I want kids one day…”. Yes, it’s always impressive when you can convince mom and dad to do something special isn’t it? It’s impressive because it links us back to one solemn and outdated part of our lives: Childhood.

Although it seems bitter, this post serves as a wake-up call and a personal insight into you. It also serves as an insight into many people. Modesty is a virtue, it’s one that you simply can’t just give up in favor of being consumed. If consumption is alluding you, it’s the ideology that more is better, the current is never enough, and we must whine and bitch our way to better things.

I owe to you the glorification of my own life, because after meeting people like you I’ve come to realize how fortunate I am. I am a matured, understanding person who really does “live by my means” and “push for what i want.” I never ask for a spoon feeding, nor do i beg for attention through the mundane whines of my daily life. I’ve overcome a lot and pushed forward toward what I want.

You’ve taught me a few things about the classes of people, as well… The fact that there are those you can trust and define as friends… Then theres people like Bitch, who only befriend what is necessary to achieve another level in their lives. Much like hunters, they call forward a flock to shoot down; a victim to make them look better and a person to pony off of for respect and praise. They are narcissists, pure and simple.

People like this single-handedly brought our economy to a collapse and bring America to an ever-more scary self absorbed state. The harsh reality taught by one human being I’ve encountered has actually opened the doors to thousands of others… The insight into what it truly means to be a black sheep in “Generation Me”… It’s a scary world out there, isn’t it?

To those of you who feel I am being an obscure writer…

This story is toward someone who really did set down the moral fibers for me. A person who made me really question why my generation is so fucked up and what it takes to fix it. This person, and many like her, were single-handedly responsible for me giving up a career I loved to do something else. They drove me to a point where I could say “No more am I able to put up with backstabbing crybaby bullshit; I must leave a realm of stupidity in favor of enlightenment and intelligence.”

I learned from people in my career that there truly is a major crisis with American’s… They don’t care about anyone beyond themselves anymore, and it’s a shocking reality. I’ve learned that for every person I’ve met, one or more of them is waiting eagerly to stab you in the back for relatively petty reasons. I’ve been spoken down to; had my intelligence called into play, and been defaced by people no smarter than sheep… And that’s what they really are, sheep… They’d follow each other off a cliff if it became the hot new topic… And dare you stride away from the pack, may you be shunned and cast away for any reason worth calling.

I’ve learned a great deal about friendship and who there is to trust and not to trust. People whom I considered friends were better titled enemies, enemies of childish proportions who remind you of the kid in first grade who ran off shouting “Teacher, Teacher, Jimmy said a bad word! A BAD WORD!”. A behavioral pattern that is shameful not on the person the act is committed against, but on the poor, childish sadist who commenced it.

On top of it all, I’ve learned a thing or two about Nursing: It’s become a career of capitalism. A business like car sales, where people want more money versus service. A patients life no longer matters, how much you can make after shift differential is. People have lost touch with what a business like this is about: caring for people, caring as if it’s your own family. It’s been replaced by the behavior of a narcissistic generation that wants only to focus on themselves. They’ll drive anyone better then them down to make themselves look better and eat their young to prevent competition from rising…

It’s a sad day for America as it’s generations continue to consume themselves with… Well, frankly, themselves… And it’s an even sadder day for nursing that these same people are marching in mass numbers. March they shall, not to care for your illness or welfare, but to drive Daddy’s Mercedes and to buy the valuables they never needed and will never pay off without bankruptcy.

So for all you people who taught me these lessons: Thank you. You opened my eyes, educated me, and made me the wiser. I’ve learned to walk away from one passion in hunt of another… Because lets face it, the grass always looks greener till you get to the other side… Then you face the fact that it’s just shit brown dirt… And in that shit brown dirt is nothing but worms…

You’ve prepared me to handle disappointment and failure much better just by examining most of you as peers, and for this I am grateful. I wish you all the best as I embark on a journey different from yours… And I hope to those of you intelligent enough to make it to the end of this post, you walk away able to ask yourself “Am I one of these people? If so, how can I change?”. If not, ohh well. It’s a rant anyway, so who cares…

Laters.


Religion, Hate, and (Mis)Understanding’s…

Published by t3hwiz0rd on August 10, 2009 in Uncategorized. 0 Comments

I think I spend too much time on IRC, where religious battles seem to be one of two common fights in the triads of daily conversation. So, to muse over my own thoughts and to entertain the masses, I am going to type up an article on religion. There is a catch, however, to how I am going to approach this. I will look at it through both sides of the story:

Why Religion exists, is beneficial, and is needed:

Growing up Roman Catholic and having half of my family that was religious and the other half that was not gave me the ability to have a very rare insight into things. On one hand, I had the Christian-like values of the Catholic church pushed down my throat at a young age. I was baptized, went to Sunday services, and did the workings as any other person involved with the church….

Growing around it, you can clearly see why some people feel the need for something that can often times be fundamentally dismissed as lunacy. Religion provides the benefits to some people that they themselves feel they must have. It gives meaning and matter to things that otherwise would go unanswered. It also stimulates the ability to encourage good in people through mass gatherings.

Organized faiths often feel they do well by providing services to the community. Such things include food drives, services to the poor, donations, and services after major catastrophic events. These are some services that people who are religious believe are the flagships of spreading the word of <insert God here>. Most are relatively generic and inter-compatible with concepts.

They differ only in their visions of prophets and concepts of how to save the “Damned” and the “Unworthy.” Anyone who has read or studied (even in crude form) about the differences in biblical cultures would know that every bible from the ancient Hindu texts to the Qur’an share extreme similarities. The same falls true for the Christian bible and it’s run offs. They possess a general set of rules based around devine creatures or beings and the way they want their people to live their lives.

Majority texts declare that these people who follow it must adhere strictly to the guidelines provisioned by biblical texts that they read. They also demand an unquestionable following that require their believers to understand that these texts speak whole and honest truths. This here is where the bibles all come into similar play.

Religion is often used to present good things and values among people. Many argue that the biblical history of the world presents the concepts that America and many other nations follow in terms of law. Some people will go as far as saying that the ten commandments are the foundation of many structured legal systems. In Islam, same came be said of many of their most extreme laws and provisions over culture and government.

In some ways, all of this is true for some people. There is no discounting the irrationality of humanity and the need for belief in higher things in order to establish some forms of balance and righteousness. There are a lot of people who need the provision and guidelines of religion to make the choices that some people may otherwise be able to make on their own.

But where power over humans… There comes power to control both good and bad will…

Why religion in the post-modern world is not needed:

In a world where technology and concepts fly faster than anything we ever imagined, it’s hard to believe that people would need to be provisioned by a singular concept. The vast collection of science, history, and future analysis of our world mandates a very well-informed, well-read human race that is quickly coming of age. A digital age collectively gathering ideas and concepts will profoundly change the way the entire globe functions.

In the years that religion was needed, we saw ages where humans were not able to logically nor scientifically explain things, nor make sane rational out of natural phenomena. The days where we believed the world was flat, the earth was the center of the universe, or that Gods passed the Sun and the Moon before our eyes. As humans have expanded their scientific knowledge such beliefs have always steadily been discounted. So won’t this be true of much that the bibles of today teach us?

The Universe we live in grows ever more complex and the ability to comprehend it grows at alarming rates. We all have the empowerment to educate ourselves as far along as we wish to, and it can hardly be discounted to coincidence that the smartest people in the world all believe religion is non-existent. The provisions of logic cancel out the biblical concepts of the earth and the heavens and vice versa… And if science teaches us anything, it’s that there can’t be two co-existing explanations for one exact same thing…

Next leads to the human aspect of organized religion. Although conceptually designed to provide good services to humanity and to spread the love of a said God and people among each other, it rarely plays this way. Through the triads of history we see the carnage and destruction that religion brings behind it. If by no other means would people like the Romans, Greek, and Egyptians explain this.  What all these cultures have in common is a profound love of their proclaimed gods.

Along the lines of all their histories, these people caused death, war, and the slaughter of thousands over what they deemed to be religious differences. We’ve seen the allowance of slavery, the slaughter of the different, and the mass defacement of the earth over the title of “God” or “Gods”. Their age-old tails of how religion lead to the destruction of well-established, well-organized civilizations follows well into todays world.

In the world of Christian, Jew, and Muslim, where a heated battle rages non-stop, we see yet a classical and historical turn of events repeating itself in much grander scales. Humans today were able to develop weapons that create mass carnage and mass death before they were able to develop understanding for diversity and respect for their fellow man. Put these machines in the hands of people willing to kill over their Gods and you’ve stumbled into what we have today:

A world where the greatest threat to humanity is not space, nor is it the extinctions that killed our long-forgotten grandfathers of the planet, but humanity itself. In a world where technology grows at more alarming rates than we can harness the concept of, we’ve allowed people with hysterical and ballistic views of an afterlife and a suprime being control these powers.

The single greatest fear one should really have on this planet is not if terrorism will happen, but when their own nation will be responsible for it. When their own nation, in proclamation of their God, will unleash a hellstorm of destruction, death, and mass disease. Today, nations like Israel and the United States equally sit on events that, in a post-modern world, should create shock and awe. There is no excuse for what some of these nations get away with, yet they are allowed to as if it’s just part of daily life.

Perhaps I sit on things through a bit of a realist perspective, but I feel that whether you use suicide bombs of F-16 fighter jets and UAV’s, terrorism is terrorism regardless. The exact word is defined as “The systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion.” This falls under any means used to startle or scare someone into a submissive state to better fit the ideology of another person.

What the Bush administration described as “Spreading Freedom” was truthfully a single mans idealistic view of a Christian world intoxicated with it’s own diseased readings. This view is the forefront of many nations, regardless of the religion they use to proclaim such views. Iran’s concept of an Islamic world is truthfully no different than the one Bush laid forth, and the same would apply for the Israeli view over the Palestinian and Muslim community in large.

What it basically boils down to is that in a world where destruction is so easy, we need to null and void age-old concepts that were used to scare and coerce our ancestors into behaving as desired. Religions of all forms serve no purpose anymore when people are able to gather largely around the collections of history and understand right from wrong. It doesn’t take biblical scripture to know that murder is wrong, enslaving a race is inhumane, and stealing is unethical. These values and concepts have been documented well enough for our generation to read, comprehend, and develop appropriate behaviors out of them.

For our future generations, they will undoubtedly look back at what will be viewed as the dawn of the digital age. this “Stone Age” of mass media will present them with a history we today can barely imagine. In a world that will be linked and integrated more than we ever imagined, people will hopefully have found newer and more civil ways to manage problems. Religion itself will hopefully become a less and less practiced concept during those times.

One would like to imagine a world where religion doesn’t exist and humanity exists purely to benefit itself, regardless of race and color. I personally believe that this is only one of two options that can play out, with the final one resulting in humanity completely destroying itself over trivial and futile means.

And I guess that’s my spin on things…
