All Aboard! (or not.)

Ahhhh,...

It's another chilly morning in the desert. The fire is almost out despite a few glowing embers. The rising Sun is glistening over the Chisos as I'm getting out of that groggy morning muck that leaves your face sticky and your eyes crusty. Yup, it's another day to treasure and another experience to measure.

Whooey!

Ain't nothing like:
Waking up in Paradise.
Breathing that purest breath of Freedom.
Watching morning dew drip from the Creosote bush.
Living in Simplicity.
THIS.

Yes, of course,..through all this sacred beauty and lovely music,..I always think of loved ones who live in another world, another life far far away from my reality. You see, 'tain't easy living when you're a selfish asshole like me, ya know? It gets pretty lonely despite being surrounded by other like-minded crazy fools but hey,..for what I do get of it, I love it and I shan't complain, right?

KNOW this:

I'll take the loneliest place in the farthest reaches of this here Chihuahuan Desert over waking up every morning to the skyline of some slum called a city or a dump of a town. Yes Lord, give me forever, that sweetest air free of smog from a choked up civilization and play me some soft desert melodies that sing on the day's first beams of light whilst a cloud passes over like a ship leaving port.

Such Bliss!

Aye! The Desert IS a sea that only few can truly SEE and I, like a pirate who treasures his hidden booty, navigate through these sacred waters protecting the truth as it was placed to exist...

yada yada yada...
La la La la La la La...
I'm wholly ALIVE!

"So why the self-degrading title: The Assholism?"

Well,..I thought it was self explanatory but since you asked,..I'll elaborate for you, aight? You see,..the way we live today, as I see it, goes against the grain of how humans should truly Live. (and we've been against it for some time now, wouldn't ya say?) Now by truly Live, I mean living WITH the Earth and not ON the Earth, FOR the Earth and not FROM the Earth. Make sense?

"But what does that have to do with you being an asshole?"

Hmm,..you see,..I don't give a fuck what YOU think. I KNOW what IS righteous in the raw and natural world, but of course, I ain't god or some holy man,..I'm just a human being who is free to express what I think and believe and in doing that,.. I piss off a few of the faithful and I rile up those who love and hold expectations of me. And they call me selfish? HA! They can do what they please,..I hold no impositions against them.

"But you're so smart and talented..it's such a waste to see you throwing it away."

Me throwing it away? Get the fuck outta here! I'm only one less sewer rat in the race to find the motherlode of fecal matter called power and greed. In fact, I'm very much a Desert Rat, Muchas Gracias! So what I'm basically driving at is that I'm just living simply so others may simply live and if I have already irked you or ticked you off with the above words or previous post, do yourself a favor:

Don't linger around this flimsy blog. Go on! Git!

As for the those who are awake and are obviously curious ,..stick around because being an asshole can teach you many things. Trust me,..I know such things for I AM One.

Bienvenidos Pendejos!

I don't know about you but I grew up with that "southern front" crap where you acted like everything was good and dandy. Where you sipped your tea and mingled with folks by talking about how wonderful your garden grows. To the eyes of one another, it was all matter of being affluent and successful. In actuality, it mattered little whether you had wealth or many friends,..the root of the matter was this:

Who was the best bullshitter?

It was rather sickening and uncomfortable to say the least, but hey, I lived and I learned. I've participated and I've refrained. I now walk with the notion that such living, as aforementioned, seems rather prominent in the ways of our world.

Viva America?
HA! Viva Terlingua!
So what of it?

Well, I could give you some examples of people and specific societies that maintain such a lifestyle but I have opted not to get into the specifics. Moreover, I'd much rather ridicule and belittle myself with the intention of bringing to light the truth of who I am.

I'm an asshole and a rather honest one.

So, what you'll find here are merely thoughts, opinions, and expressions. You see, I like to host a big fire, invite good people, drink beer, eat meat, and smoke some herb,...

BUT...be ye careful not to get too close, you're likely to get burned and...

...Fuck YOU!
