just screaming won’t do the trick. It’s the way you scream. It’s the validity, the truth, the meaning behind the scream. It can be funny, solemn, frightening, but as long as it’s real, they’re can be a lot in a scream. A lot.

There’s something to be said for going against the grain. For not melting in with the rest of the pot, for doing your own thing even if you’re denied the chicken wing.

Even if you’re doing the goddamm wang chung and the whole rest of the kids in the cleared out disco ball infested school cafeteria are doing the running man.

There’s also something to be said for not being a total pain in the ass fuck everything pop culture hate mongering martyr. I mean, really, fuck poo-pooing just for the sake of street cred. But ying to the yang, fuck uttering a yessir and an aye-aye when a verdict of copacetic is the furthest thing from your cerebral cortex’s bullshit detector.

What with “media whore” being in the common vernacular as a seemingly newfound position of respect in the modern wave of reality television, wherein any and every washed up actor slash rocker slash pop culture footnote has an avenue by which to bend over and get fucked, or rather, fuck the memory of any memorable work, be it good, bad or ugly, that they may have contributed to the machine, this little tidbit (pulled from this Paul DiAnno interview) struck a minor chord with me this fine morning:

“Most people who have had the slightest amount of notoriety will do all that they can to hold onto the reigns of the horse that they are riding just in the hope that they not be thrown but that is simply not the case with DiAnno, not by a longshot. DiAnno is more the type to devour the horse because he can run faster, stronger and get further by using it as fuel rather than transportation.”

On a totally unrelated side note, I just had what I feel is a fantastic idea for the Omen part 7. Rush Limbaugh and Dr. Laura Schlessinger have a weekend of forbidden penetration involving a plethora of prescription drugs and arcane sex toys, resulting in a demon seed unlike the world has ever known. Shenanigans ensue.
