Green is the best in the summer
The best in the West–it’s no bummer
To Miami I go
Pessimism in tow
And confirm that they’re driving… *sigh* hummers

The terrifying reality of the scope of the delusion…
Today I find myself out in Gresham, spending the morning at one coffee shop, and the afternoon at the other.
Imagine you didn’t know anything about any of this, a complete alien, dropped into this room. This one group is literally talking about hearing voices, and doing what they say. Another is advocating for his friend to visit someone who will touch their head and heal their injury. This morning I heard a guy who said how great it was that his doctor had been “given the gift of healing” (and had given him medicine). Further listening reveals the phrase “no earthly body can judge us”, and “the purpose of life is to seek redemption from the evil and curses given to you at birth, which were put there to drive you to god”. “Medical science wouldn’t even be necessary if people realized they could take great joy in sickness from the promise of heaven and perfection.” followed by “3 years ago I had a quadruple bypass” was just the icing on the cake.
If you were an alien with no cultural basis to understand that certain delusions are considered “normal” and heard these things, this entire place would be terrifying. These people are suffering from command delusions and are only 1 step away from thinking that killing you is doing you a favor. Flee, flee! Burn it with fire from orbit before it spreads!
And they vote!
Aside
This blanket is covered with ants
I’m inspired to wiggle and dance
My eyes are all wet
And I’m filled with regret
That I didn’t remember my pants
Aside
Wait! I wave my hands.
Abracadabra!
I have my own slice of pie.
Awaiting justice
What does it mean when I’m sad?
I’m out of Cheetos.
Why are you so late?
A miscommunication.
Awaiting justice.
A leaf that turns black,
Melodies that don’t resolve,
My cat feels like rage.
Aside
be polite, be kind, and have a plan to kill everyone you meet
Or, in the case of Vegas “every douchebag in the general vicinity who is rudely blowing smoke in your face or stumbling around with no regard for anyone around them”.
There are simply not enough kidney punches going on around here. (Except the alcoholic kind I suppose.)
Aside
I can’t imagine anything that makes me want to utilize your escort service LESS than making your hustler a bored looking 85 year old Mexican woman with only 2 teeth and smelling strongly of alcohol with a shirt that says “orgasm clinic – accepting new patients”. Advertising failure of the most extreme sort.
Aside
OMG! Honey Mustard & Onion Pretzel Pieces!
Why buy from the minibar when you can create your own?
Aside
That’s ridiculous, it would be impossible for a clam to survive in Idaho’s soil conditions!
Well, I did rather mean they might survive in water or something, but I see your point.
Aside
This chicken salad tastes like elephant smells.
I intended it to be a humorous observation, not to ruin her dinner.
It really did though.
Aside
Who’s that guy… in Star Wars… Who’s fuzzy, and wears a sash all the time?
Chewie would be upset to hear you say that… grrraaaawraraaaar
