| Well, it's been a while since I've been on here and most of my anger
has been directed at personal issues for a change.
Who am I kidding ?
they're all personal issues, but you know what I mean.
Friends and so-called friends. Obligations and contracts. Liars and fools.
It's a damn shame, and frankly I'm not clear of personal bullshit even now. but I need a damn good rant.
and d'you know what ?
Greed and Ignorance are NOT virtues.
I know, I've probably done rants on this before. Like I give a fuck.
I have ranted and ranted about cars over and over again, and I will continue to do so.
This is a no brainer.
Alright, I know some of you are thinking that Virtue can mean simply an inherent quality of a thing,
but I am referring directly to any easily recognizable and broadly " ethically " defencible position
taken by following the promptings of one's conscience. Like Duty, or Sacrifice, or Honour, or Strength.
Even Generosity or Patience, if you want to be a bit more traditional about it.
Or if we follow the examples of most civilized society's underlying moral systems,
things like Honesty and Mercy, all these old fashioned ideas of what makes a person more likely to
be invited round for dinner rather than pelted with rocks 'til they stop twitching and look appetizing to
buzzards and vultures.
Now it seems to me that our society in general, helped along by media induced hypnotic states, wants us to
include the idea that Greed and Ignorance are good qualities too.
I could be mistaken, but it seems this way to me, and I don't like it one bit.
Charity begins at where ? ( pop quiz )
Look after number what ? who ?
Will people respect and love you more if you buy expensive cars and shoes ?
Should you share your chocolate orange ? or is it yours, and only yours ?
Should you buy now, while offer lasts ?
Should you pay a premium to get it insured ?
I don't like greed or greedy people. I don't like being told that in todays world you
have to get ahead to survive. It's not Darwinian or market forces.
Market forces should surely be defined by what we spend and how we spend it,
not the other way around.
Alright, so Ignorance, pretty straight forward, and I meet folks like this nearly every day
who tell me I'll go mad with fear and grief if I don't look the other way, like they do.
Hey ! they say to me, lighten up, have a beer, watch the telly DONT THINK ABOUT IT
yes it's sad all those puppies in labs DONT THINK ABOUT IT smoking fags in machines,
all those DONT THINK ABOUT IT starving kids in famine struck zones and refugees and
victims of police brutality and DONT government THINK policies and ABOUT economically IT
enforced poverty of body mind and soul.
Don't think about it. watch a funny movie. you'll feel better about it in the morning. come on. just smoke this.
I don't like ignorance, though I feel some pity for ignorant people. even though they have, in the
majority of cases allowed themselves to become ignorant. We're most of us capable of seeing
what's going on around us. However, most people are happy to look the other way, so it's a choice,
really. for most of us it IS a fucking choice.
Wake up. Ignorance is not a virtue.
Kill nicely.

| Featured question ? That's new...
Alright, this is easy. It HAS to be invulnerability.
So what you can fly ? If you get knocked out by an albatross or a 747 you've got a loooong way to fall.
Wouldn't bother Mr Invulnerable, though.
You got some kind of death ray vision ? Don't care. Invulnerable.
I'd be able to walk across the bottom of the oceans of the world not
drowning, not getting bitten in half by unknown leviathans and I'd see
sights that no one has seen before.
I could have the thrill of riding the Niagara Falls in a barrel, over and over again.
And my invulnerability would not only make me bullet proof, it would keep me safe from the ravages of time, too.
I'd be frikkin immortal !
Woo yeah. Invulnerability for me, every time I get asked this one.
I could cause some real grief to all those road users I hate so much,
too. Man would they freak when I bounce off the front of their 4X4. I'd
be fine, but they would almost certainly have sustained damage to their
precious motor vehicle. Oh happy day.
Now, where's that super serum ?

| Here's a thing to consider, but you will need an open mind.
I have used different forms of divination in the past, and have had different views in their usefulness.
Not, you will note, on whether they are "real" or not, nor whether they "work".
In fact, in many ways I couldn't give a shit whether they "work" from a
preconcieved point of view about precognition or fortune telling.
One of my favourite methods for a long time was the I Ching, a very Daoist system with very Daoist symbolism.
What do you suppose the I Ching tells us to do more often than not ?
Wait. Bide your time. Don't push for a solution.
Not exactly " your favourite colour is blue, your lucky vegetable is turnip, bet on black ".
The point for me with much divinatory methods, particularly I Ching and
Rune Casting, is that it is a meditative process revealing as much
about how a person views a problem or situation. Indeed, my favourite
"readings" have always resulted in my going away and thinking in
greater depth about the question posed than I would have, had I just
said to myself " fuck me I have a problem to solve ".
From that point of view, it might be argued that a divination system
whose symbolism you are comfortable with is, at worst, a way to calm
the mind while you analyse the problem on a different level.
Anyway, I can't condemn divination per se since it leads to greater
pattern recognition, and that in itself makes one more insightful. If
you are used to looking at signs, you get better at reading your
environment. Take a moment to consider that sentance. I'm NOT talking
mumbo jumbo here. Apply it in a general sense, to something specific.
After all, someone who is reasonably aquainted with horse racing form
has a better chance of placing a viable bet at a bookies. Is that
Psychic power ? Or just an aquired ability to read a specific
environment.
How else can you think of to train that part of your mind generally ?
So, why am I spouting this here and today ?
Sometimes information presents itself to our subconscious that we get a
decent chance to interpret consciously, such as being able to remember
details of a dream that has emotional significance for us. Please no
one try to tell me that emotionally resonant dreams aren't connected to
our subconscious, alright ?
Sometimes our minds will latch onto the same mental itch for days. Like
after being dumped by someone you've been with for years you might
think you see the back of their head in every crowd, or hear a stranger
humming a snatch of your ex's song, or wearing their favourite scent.
You with me ?
So, in an extension of a system I know as Mantic Divination, or reading
the signs of the world around you, it occurs to me that sometimes when
I surf the web for apparently unconnected information, my mind will of
course look for patterns.
Note again, I am NOT saying that this is spooky jedi shit. I am however
saying that it is stupid to discount it as something that we cannot
find a use for. After all, if your mind is latching onto stuff it's
probably best to ask yourself why, at the very least. You might avoid
years of therapy that way.
So, is Googlomancy going to be an extension or derivation of my so called Mantic Divination ?
Who knows, someone might come and look here for a seemingly random
giggle at poor Mr Fisty's ranting and come away with some part of a
puzzle they've been putting together for the last couple of days.
Look, and you will find.
Kill Nicely.

| I recently had an email from a guy I was kind of rude to. ( I was harsh, but fair, I think. ) Anyway, in my response I said something I thought was poetic and might give some of you out there a little insight on how my head works. I have had some wierd feedback from a few people recently who find me a little intimidating in real life. So. Here's the quote - "Know this, and judge me accordingly - I hold myself to a higher standard than I hold my friends and allies to, much, much higher, and I give myself a much harder time than I give anyone else. If I ever come across as a conceited iceberg of hate, trust me, the rest of world only suffers the tip. The remainder is reserved for me." Hope that makes me seem less like an angry cunt and more like a self martyring twat. oh no, wait.... Kill nicely. | | |
| Sometimes I find stuff on the internet that reminds me that some of you domesticated primates are actually thinking for yourselves. I was actually looking for anything in support of a war for Gaia, when I randomly found this comment on a myspace journal belonging to one Joe Rogan - "When someone's pitbull eats the mailman's dick, no one thinks "Well, I guess we need to train that little fella and teach him to stop doing that." No, you're like, "Shit, I need to kill that fucking crazy dog."
That's the way it should be for people, too. You catch a grown man fucking a 10 year old boy, you're not supposed to lock him up and give him therapy?you're supposed to gun him down in a crowded arena and stream the whole event live on the internet.
Maybe he'll come back as a beautiful sparrow and start all over again, but in this life?you fucked the catcher of the little league team, and you gotta go." Aaah, Joe, I don't know who you are but that sentiment rocks. I've said it so many times, but one rule for us and another for all the other species on this planet is wrong wrong wrong. We Are Animals, too. As ever, Kill nicely...
