Extenuating Attenuation
I'm a professional rubber band maker, I take pride in my work like you wouldn't believe
A Prophet once said if you make exceptions for extenuating circumstances you will find your life a long chain of never ending extenuating circumstances, its crazy how nature do that
As is fashionable, I like to make my extenuating circumstances as small and irrelevant1234 as possible. My friend Bennett says fashion is being high status enough to get away with making yourself ugly. I suspect nobody actually gets away with sniggering excuse making though, its always transparent to others, but there is a childlike thrill to making little exceptions for oneself, a taste of petty power5 (not even the big kind), a feeling like an editor amending a film strip, cutting out pieces and rearranging them to his ideal. This is literally Satan’s plan. Satan is literally a movie editor, he literally wears a beret and drinks coffee and rants about “artistic vision”6 whenever vidangel or whoever is like “um maybe we can have entertainment without covering the audience in gutter wash?7” and this same Satan is the reason people do not user their blinkers today. For the scriptures say: The devil is the artist of confusion.
ARCHITECTURE
I’m building a house out of black metal folding chairs. Four in a row is a couch. Two against each other is a coffee table. How many coffee tables makes a bed, four? Probably eight, now that I'm thinking about it. Might not be preferable to just sleeping on the floor, which is carpeted in black folding chairs. The windows are chairs, just fold them down to open them. When cooking I fold open the chair-flue to let the smoke out. I don’t know why architects don’t do this, what do people pay them for?
NOT DRIVING
HISTORY
My coworker insists that there is a correct answer to “if you were the size of a credit card and stuck in a blender, how would you get out” and that the correct answer is “knock it over from the inside”, I am pretty sure he has decided not to hire people for getting this wrong.8
MORE ARCHITECTURE
You know those dollar game machines with the grabber claw? Giant that, above my garden.9
KIDNEY THIEVES
I just discovered this band and have been kind of digging them. Let Freedom Ring has a groovy bass that tastes really good and The Solution Is In The Trees is not intolerable slow music for you peace lovers.
oh no I’m tired
I’m too sick (chronically)
someone there conveniently offended me once
actually I just hate the church
“Most men have inner conflicts of values; these conflicts, in most lives, take the form of small irrationalities, petty inconsistencies, mean little evasions, shabby little acts of cowardice, with no crucial moments of choice, no vital issues or great, decisive battles—and they add up to the stagnant, wasted life of a man who has betrayed all his values by the method of a leaking faucet.” Ayn Rand, The Romantic Manifesto, p75
Moses 1:19 And now, when Moses had said these words, Satan cried with a loud voice, and ranted upon the earth, and commanded, saying: I am the Only Begotten, worship me.
“um maybe we can have entertainment without covering the audience in gutter wash?” -Vidangel
