Due to recent developments and incidents*, as well as previous trends and tendencies, I’ve made the decision that staying permanently sober is probably a better option for me than what has been developing.

Now I’m not doing anything stupid like enrolling myself in any kind of religiously based program with no basis in science or anything like that. I’m just stopping. I’ve done this before with other substances, most noticeably caffeine, and that was a full chemical addiction. This is just a lifestyle thing.

I’m sure it will be hard, but I’m not going to be one of those fucktards who suddenly looks down on all drinking, or will completely avoid being in the same building as an alcoholic beverage. Life will be just the same, just with me not drinking beer, and possibly looking even more brooding at times.

The best part, now I’ll have a bunch of extra cash that was budgeted to be spent on beer….

* – Incidents which I’m not going into detail on “in print”. Ask me in person.

Just a thought: has anyone ever argued that the Roman Gods must be true and the old religions of the Roman Empire are correct?

The reasoning being that after the worship of them declined, especially after Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the Empire, they allowed the Empire to be destroyed as punishment. Or at least they removed whatever magical divine protection they had over it and hence the various invasions that occurred in the 3rd century onward went badly for the Romans. Or they caused whatever theory you like or find is liked better by current historians – salinity, epidemic disease, financial collapse, lead poisoning, moral decay, etc….

It seems to me to be an argument that fits better with reality than most of what I hear from the religious.

“It is finished”

Into your hands I commit my MP3

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Breathe it in
As you step
From within
Pretend that it is fresh
In the air
You will let
The despair
Soak right into your flesh

Chorus:
The cloying stench of false freedom

Verse 2:
Round and round
You can’t stop
The unsound
Corruption of all you know
You’ve heard this
All before
You won’t miss
Once I finish the show

Bridge:
This bridge is written
To end this chapter
A purge of the darkness
That lived within
Not that its over
Or that I’m pure
But now I must say
It is finished
