Well, as at least some of you might have expected,

APRIL FOOLS.

Its still April and you're still fools.

Just kiddin'. Either way, my blog's staying because 1. I've gotten used to it, 2. I can't be bothered to re-do all the add-ons and tagboards and whatever. Same reason why I find it a dilemma to yank out my desktop and convert to a much-more-portable laptop.

But the drastically increased number of tags, more, if I may add, than perhaps a month before the statement, brings to mind a certain thing featured in the movie Se7en. Go wiki it, its basically about a serial killer whose victims and modus operandi is largely based on the seven deadly sins, drawing inspiration from one of the books and instances more familiar to my twisted mind (such books and instances include, among those I could catch, the writings of Marquis de Sade and Dante Alighieri, as well as an example of Sodom and Gomorrah), yet with an abrupt twist in the end. A great show for the open-minded.

But as the movie said. The age when you can get people to listen just by tapping them twice on the shoulder, is gone. You have to use a sledgehammer and smash them in the head before you can get their attention. Its the Watchmen kind of film that portrays the world as a rotting, stinking sh*thole with inhabitants that really aren't any better.

Yet is it otherwise?

One should have the courtesy to answer thus question, but I'm afraid I, and you reading this here; we don't have the privilege (or lack thereof) to experience as the dregs of society do. But no matter. Awareness is not the prerequisite of change, neither is it the most direct cause; Desperation and Profit fit the bill far better.

Hm.

Oh well, who worries about such things.

The world awaits tomorrow; its on a silver platter but you'll have to 'get past the stench' first.

Azazyl

Stench of humanity,
The rot of those fair.
Despair!
Of lost sanity and
Dreams never there.
