Needless Explanation
The last post I made, in case you haven't noticed, is just something I wrote. It's not me or at least not me wholly. However, I thought it be therapeutic and pertinent to show it to you all because I don't think I'm alone in thinking that there are times in which we actually think this way if not act this way. If God were to abdanon us to leave us on our own, there is little doubt in my mind that the "kingdom" I described would be the lives of all persons on this planet. I didn't write and post my writing to be preachy, I did it for me. However, if what I wrote caused others to think or reflect, then I guess I did more than I bargained for. Less heavy stuff later.

My Kingdom Came, Thy Will Be Mine
Welcome to my kingdom, ladies and gentlemen, a kingdom full of limits, malaise, and lowered expectations. My kingdom’s workload is easy and the burden is nonexistent. Do what thou wilt because your actions or thoughts mean nothing. If what you do hurts another, it matters not because you’ll be hurt by someone else’s action at some point. Feast upon the bountiful ignorance and empty calorie statements, guzzle down repugnancy and drink from the sea of apathy that surrounds my kingdom’s shores. Swim in indulgence and choke on pop culture. Rest in beds made of timidity and neglect.
The ladder of success in my kingdom is made of other people and your achievement is based upon who does your accounting, who you are wearing, and who you fuck. In my kingdom, your friend is your business partner until a better deal comes along. Under my rule, people shall be toys, so play with them, put them on the shelf when you are done, and if you break one you can always find another one to play with. Your significant other is only significant until you’re bored. In my kingdom, family is discussed as a biological, scientific term.
You are allowed sanctuary in my kingdom, provided that you realize that it’s my world and you just live in it. I live in my castle, with mortar made of insecurity and bricks made of malice. I am seated on my throne of bigotry and prejudice created out of those who I have wronged, disappointed, or crushed at my feet. I wear my crown encrusted with lies and jewels of envy. The weight of it should surely crush me if it weren’t for my sense of pride, my ego, and pure conceit holding my head aloft. At my table, I dine with talking heads, yes-men, and flatterers. Conversations at my table are one-sided and nothing is resolved or learned, but we still will feel better about ourselves.
So bow before me, declare your allegiance, and become a subject of my kingdom lest you are ruler of your own.

Fundamental Truths/Deep Thought Queries
Quick Side note: If you want me to link your blogs onto mine, please send me your blog address/name so I can do so.
Back to the blog. I've done this before on my other blog, but it's time to refresh it. Here are the few fundamental truths I've learned in the course of my 23 years of existence:
- The Gamet (Tommy's band) is pretty good.
- "Gamet" (Gamut) should be spelled with a "u" not an "e."
- Frozen poptarts are a tasty treat.
- OK GO has the most entertaining music videos on television/YouTube.
- Naruto is a good anime, but a poor English dub.
- M. Night Shymalan needs to think outside the box and do something other than suspense. He's losing it. Maybe try a nutball comedy starring Will Ferrell. And NO PLOT TWISTS!
- Wrestling school is the most satisfying beating I'll ever take.
- Some people are jerks for the sake of being jerks, but that doesn't mean they are jerks all the time. Otherwise, how would they have friends that can be jerks along with them?
- Not many people can accept the fact that I am both single and happy. I'm tired of when it's revealed that I'm single and they react like it's a bad thing. "It's okay, you'll find her someday." Find her? Who says I'm looking?
- YouTube.com is a great time waster.
- I need to cut out some carbs if I want to be a successful wrestler.
- Fat Tabby's is one of many great ideas that will never be realized.
- There is only one good sitcom on television right now and it's called It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
- God is much bigger, smarter, and better than anyone can even conceive.
- It's easy and dangerous to be a sheep.
- I miss my friends. Old ones, new ones, and ones that have faded away. I still miss you, D.Lowe.
- My parents have done more than I can return in kind.
- Too much TV is bad. Good television is hard to find, but it exists. Just pick the shows that make you think and decypher them along with being entertaining.
- Good books are hard to find, but they are easier to find than good television. Too much reading is good.
- Everyone you care about will hurt you.
- Depression is crippling.
- It's weird that I'm a happy man that is fueled by anger.
- If I were to grow extra appendages, it would be wings. Red dragon wings to fit my hair color.
- Peace in the Middle East will only happen on a permanant basis when God reveals His face and says "Hey! Knock it off! Don't make me come down there!"
- It's sickening what actions and choices are made over green slips of paper.
- It's sad that science takes a backseat to business.
Now some deep thought queries:
- Why is it that the song that makes me feel close to God is not one sung at church but by a Hasidic Jew that sings reggae?
- Why do I consistently chase dreams that most consider too big?
- Why can't I kill all the ignorance in my mind?
- Why do people tolerate having God being used as a political tool?
- When did intolerance get confused with disagreement?
- When did comedians make more sense than politicians? Should we be scared of that?
Later.
