The Danish Doctor of Dread: Angst, Anxiety and Philosophy
It is in our anxiety that we come to understand feelingly that we are free, that the possibilities are endless.
Kierkegaard was a philosopher who wrote from experience. And that experience included considerable acquaintance with the chronic, disquieting feeling that something not so good was about to happen. In one journal entry, he wrote, “All existence makes me anxious, from the smallest fly to the mysteries of the Incarnation; the whole thing is inexplicable, I most of all; to me all existence is infected, I most of all. My distress is enormous, boundless; no one knows it except God in heaven, and he will not console me….”
A decent read from The New York Post.. an exception to their normal drivel.
Fear not my friends, for I too have known and still know more dread and suffering than one man should ever have to bear, be vigilant, there is light ahead, but before there can be Summer know this… WINTER IS COMING!

who’m i
i’m a lead guitarist
who’s never learned a chord
i’m the greatest carpenter
who’s never saw’n a board
i’m a custom car mechanic
who has never seen a tool
i’m the intellectual genius
with the thick tongue of a fool
i’m a sweaty screamin’ preacher
with no faith in God
i’m the junky in the alley
who’s never been on ‘the nod’
a crap poet
a fat failure
a drunk loser
a pill whore
i’ll make no claim to nuthin’ else
and will aspire to nuthin’ more

bacon and unicorns
unicorns and bacon
something is seriously wrong
with a generation who
(while making bacon flavored EVERYTHING)
promote good health
and worship unicorns and
rainbows
i get the humor
i really do
but the sad part is
I don’t think they do
while boys look like
girls
and girls act like
boys
(which btw, the 70s already did, think ABBA)
it seems that we are losing
our fucking minds
talking lizards fight
deep voiced
white friendly
African Americans
to sell us
car insurance
while Lady GaGa
humps dead unicorns
on stage
covered in Jew blood
singing about who knows what
should the 2012 apocalypse
save us from ourselves
what will be our legacy?
plastic water bottles
violence
and cartoon sex on TV?
the Mayans knew something
and you can bet your
sugartits
that it had nothing to do
with unicorns
and
bacon
bring on the sacrifices
let’s start with the
crooked CFOs running
our economy to shit
while posting record
profits on the backs
of the working class
then we will move on to
the religious fanatics
who bring NOTHING to the
table but more misery
and despair, FUCK YOU,
then we will move on to
HollyYork and all the
crap films they crank out
with their subliminal
messages that we’re not
good enough, strong enough,
rich enough or beautiful,
FUCK YOU,
last but not least come
the cowards who sit back
and allow this to happen,
people like YOU, and ME,
we deserve dull blades
across our throats while
watching it streamed live
via THE INTERWEBz, in 3D,
right in front of our faces.
it’s not too late,
we can defeat,
BACON and UNICORNs,
but we have to start
working on it sometime,
when we get a moment..
send me a txt and I’ll
check my calendar,
maybe we can fit it into
next weeks schedule or maybe
next month.. yeah, that
works better for me.
Oh, don’t think for one second
I forgot:
PIGS WILL BE HURT IN THE MAKING
OF THIS REVOLUTION!
