People that break the law: they use cocaine, they score prostitutes, they might even get to work sooner than you and they might get larger raises because they ask people for the answers instead of taking the time to look them up in reference.
Ha ha, an old friend of mine used to do that to me on the phones but that's ok because I did that all through high school. I was popular but I helped other people pass = good idea = I help people break the law? Hmmf.
People that break the law are BETTER than the rest of us. It's time to face it. They will see you coming a mile away and prepare a shit-turd for you to walk on if there's a chance but you will never take them off guard. Watching porn you learn that those girls feel superior about what they are doing and if you start to "believe" their disdainful looks at the camera, it starts to feel like you SHOULD act like they act, or that you SHOULD be free to have ambivalent sex and sell a video about yourself. But analyze it further from far away and you can see that it's addictive, you can see that this is "too easy". Long ago there used to be videos about father > daughter, brother > sister, group sex with one girl, even partial rapes because HEY, it's acting, and some people will watch it, so then came the birth of "socially conscious" porn.
Remember the last blog, to be confused is the goal? There you go, confused = Confucius. Anytime you wonder why this was so easy, it's too easy. Life should be difficult, sex should be difficult, even eating should be difficult... oh, my point today is that the world works in like fashion. There are people that won't risk, people that do, and then the people appointed to CATCH them. Nice little circle of Zeus Neptune and Hades all trying to keep the balance so that the people can feel safe and be productive(trying just now to figure out which of these is the BETTER one). So I guess today is just a reminder that criminals are not so stupid, they have it easy and they are superior... but they also eventually get caught. You can believe it because there are people paid to wake up every day with that purpose in their head... "today I am going to catch criminals." I used to wonder if it was possible to make the world a calm place and therefore more unified and ready to reach Mars or wherever DEVOID of crime if only we could change ALL of their minds to a common purpose; but fact is, we weren't meant to go to Mars and even reaching the Moon is sort of ridiculous. Still, trying to reach the Moon we learned about using satellites to spy on others so there's real advantages to trying to do the "impossible". That reminds me of one of my favorite sayings.
It pays to Discover.
Anytime you find yourself in a pickle, you may think THIS is the WORST. But there's always a good side to everything. Joel Osteen preached that this weekend about "it's all good". This short little guy who was "sort of" a friend of mine used to say that all the time and even though he was abrasive and dystopian, he got laid all of the time. In fact it started to bother me how he would hang around me ... and then sleep with the girls I started to work on. I could just say I liked them and soon I would see him chatting her up.
Ugh. Well I have to admit I used to wonder at it. Should girls be herded about and tweeked and twattled until they break? I used to wonder but if I even think about it and wonder at it then I KNOW someone is out there doing it. In fact, now that I have time to think and think and THINK and think, I wonder if ANY women at the bar were actually ever really going to sleep with anyone(let alone me) because I never saw ANY of them get picked up... ANY! In fact I once overheard people talking about me then telling me straight out that I would NEVER find a girl at the bar. Exactly WHERE do people go for this stuff?
See, right about here is the part where I lose sight of what I was trying to say. Oh, so it's all good is fine if you realize that there is a reason that you are suffering. In my mind I plunk it all down to experience and that if this ever happens to someone I REALLY care about, at least now I can warn them off whereas before this "whatever this is" happened to me, I might be inclined to not believe them or to think they can handle it ALONE just fine.
It's all good... except when it's not, Joel, except when it's not.
Oh so since these BETTER people exist all around us and since they don't wanna get caught they do something original and I want you to say that you heard it here first...
they form gangs. Yep, and these "gangs" or groups or chambers of commerce or billionaires' country club or king's council have one purpose right? We gotta know if you are all FUELED by greed because if some of them aren't, then those have to go. This is what happens at the bar and is probably what happened to me. They want everyone to mind their own business but moreover they want you to be like them, there for the money. I am not fueled by greed. I do not NEED the bar for any feint purpose. I go there to merely diminish the reality that I have not found a woman that is worthy.
I sometimes wonder if taking a whore out of there would serve my need though. Whores tend to be VERY good looking and hey, after all, it's just ONE woman and they are just doing it to survive, so where's the harm in that... right? So what if they are a little bipolar and so what if once they go off their drugs they become violent, where's the HARM? lol. Well, if a friend ever finds themselves beset by a whole throng of pimps and whores and service industry people that ALL believe he is the anti-christ, I won't, at least NOW I won't, need to try very hard to believe him.
Lost.. my... point...
Oh, so once you realize that this dichotomy/trichotomy exists: people > better people > police, now you can be happy with your place in the world. If you ventured too far into BETTER people land, at least now, after getting spanked, you can take heart in knowing that they are risking a lot for their pleasure, and that you at least have your reputation intact and your desires are all checked with confusion and disdain and not just a little denial about their reality. Plus there's always the option of joining the POLICE. One thing you are able to do as a nobody(aka. PEOPLE people) is either join the police or join the BETTER people but one thing that can't happen is that the BETTER people join the police because... that's just crazy.
Losing my point again so I'm gonna end it here... ahm gettin' OLD people. I used to think joining the police was easy and kind of a step down from a corporation but now, after looking it up, I found that it is really rather difficult... as it should be.
There are not just a few memorable moments in Penny Dreadful and one of those moments comes when the guy yells out, "KNOW WHO YOU ARE!"
It's funny because you can tell the series, like "socially conscious" porn, is now trying to make these terrible creatures into heroes, which is BwaHaha funny but also, in a small sense, realistic. One thing you can't deny is that those images are FANTASTIC in high definition and the scenes are absolutely beautiful. Each scene is like a painting. So even if the story gets slow, which happens a LOT, at least you can imagine having it on in the background during a party with no volume and it would still be useful.
PS. And hey you can DVR it, right Erin? I love Erin... what? She has nothing to do with Penny Dreadful nothing... well... oh hey whatdayaknow I feel like typing now. (EDIT: This blog was kinda forced, normally I have to GROW blogs after a bunch of relevant life info coalesces into a need to lecture)
