Hi! I Hate This World

Which is probably the first thing you should know about me if you have a care to get to know me.

No, not my name. Screw names. I’ve had day-long conversations with people whose name I did not know. I’ve flirted with people whose name I did not know. Names don’t matter. Names suck. Just as much as I suck at remembering names. I don’t remember you by your name. I remember you by the stuff you told me about yourself that makes you you.

I hate this world.

And I hate the people that shrug off the big problems we’re facing by saying, “well, that’s the way of it.”

No, you idiot. We made the world this way. Your mom’s the way of it. Shut up!

And it’s stupid people that think otherwise. And since most people are content with the way things are, I will immediately assume you are stupid upon meeting you until you prove otherwise. Chances are I’m right. ’Cause we’re all stupid. Even me.

However, some people are less stupid. I like them. The less stupid people. The people that recognize things are not right. Things are not the way they could be. The state of things, as of present, does not reflect our potential as thinking, reasoning, planning, creative, capable, compassionate beasts of evolution.

So yeah. Keep that in mind as you read my “stories”. You know where I come from now. That’s me.

And my name’s John. John Longtain. I don’t mind if you don’t remember it in the next half hour. I wouldn’t.
