it’s rhetorical

do i have to do everything myself? of course not. life’s a team sport and our culture’s propensity for island-esque, self-induced solitude is good only for moping. “pity party of one? your table’s ready.”

in an effort to exorcise this hard-coded notion from my illusory, ego-riddled behaviors that are irrationally joy-resistant, i have started this…ugh, my punk rock sensibilities shudder at using such trendy verbiage…”blog”.

truth is, we don’t make the planet turn and the universe is exquisitely capable of managing without us. feeling as if we must take on every over-achieving mission to alienate ourselves, suffer foolishly and wag our all-knowing finger at life is silly. let’s celebrate our silliness and pat ourselves on the head for being so exceptionally self-important. shake our egos like a sociopathic nanny until the whine turns to a whimper and goes quiet.

we don’t have to do everything ourselves and shared experiences are profoundly preferable. displace the distance between us and get on-board the “everything’s gonna be okay” express. rejoice in each other’s accomplishments and merge our capacities like a human-themed Voltron wielding our sword of altruistic humanity bent on perpetuating the good in all things.

…of course, i did have to register this domain. so in that respect i had to do at least that myself. come on people, get it together.
