at the tender age of thirteen i became a militant well my weapon was a webcam and my christ a total cunt with a minimum of knowledge and ironically more faith i made videos denouncing god from my chubby dickhead face well i could place the blame on dawkins for leading me astray but if obnoxiousness weren't directed so twould have gone another way see i was a teenage atheist brought my crusade to the real world to my christian education tireless rebel! defender of the truth! fighting against indoctrination in chapel services head unbowed in arguments with the preacher oh in hindsight i'm impressed by the restraint showed by my teachers well i could point the finger at youtube for encouraging my vice but fuckin myspace or vimeo would have similarly sufficed see i was a teenage atheist an obnoxious little spouting drivel shouting spite and spraying spittle ignorant skeptic words from a septic narrowness perfected teenage atheist!

tw: rape he came from portland no doubt his parents only one his life a wild tale in the making, when he's breaking he'll tell it to his grandsons wide eyed inspired their granddad's the guy grinning from the far right hand side guess it wouldn't be right to tell them that in life their granddad was a cunt so at the bar we broke off you, nick, my brother just the four of us you told us of that euro trip of the drugs and chicks and all the blokey shit that you did but then it got to the story how on the tenth floor he had asked you guys to wait for him and when the moment was right to flick on the light to gather round and cheer for him she was taken unaware stripped completely bare and his grip held so tight maybe she tried to escape but his circle of mates was already crowded in so tight and his grip held friends yelled eyes wide like animals and do you ever wonder you fucking monster where that poor girl is now and so i sit here and i hear your story never piping up not when you slap the table laughing with your eyes all screwed up not when you lost it over how long he held on not when you flicked the light on not even when she cried when she tried to hide she was terrified so fucking terrified and and the way that you laughed when you said how she couldn't get away from this experience she'll carry with her til her dying days you're such a motherfucker to think that what you did was okay and if there were any justice in the world you'd be dead or in fucking jail

The Obituary 05:29
he's a scientist in the laboratory of masculine longing an explorer in the undiscovered continent of love he is out of place, an old man who is searching for belonging wounded by zionist push and feminist shove oh he reacts against a cocktail of a thousand different fears to terrified he puts his faith in each conspiracy he hears he hates the whole world but himself and feminine foreign wife he's made that hatred his career and its become his life he links communism to satanism to nuclear disasters and ignores the obvious in search of still more secret masters these are the words of a man who as a child was told that his beliefs were special and that his words were gold picture him giving the obituary at the funeral for the old ways tearful at the fall of the white men and the rise of the women and gays oh and every mourner their present all decked out in luxurious black is old and het and white and male all filling the pews to the back and the crowd they do not seem to notice the fact that is clear as the day that the being their meant to be mourning is standing up there on the stage and as his speech becomes more and more fevered and he skips from malaise to malaise the crowd becomes part of the deathtoll in increasingly tenuous ways and by the time his words reach fever pitch the topic of speech has become how every one of them's fuckin dead and the whole outside world holds a warm smoking gun

New L.A. 02:35
why do i find this sight so romantic 10,000 cars stagnant and frantic a river of headlights frozen in twilight our ventricles clogged tight every weeknight i took a trip out to the city's frontier mining cash building suburbia here where imperial expats live pale summer dreams in cream brick facades with vacation themes the sprawl it spreads further every day suburbs are built and begin to decay you know that we're just a few years away welcome to new LA
