the bat and the suit of armor

September 2nd, 2005 by epoyz

          hey, am just realizing how serious this has become. can’t believe that the administration slept on these poor people. was george "duhbbya" getting high again when this happened? what’s happening out there is shocking and heartbreaking. i’m really surprised this has been going on for four days. i can’t claim that i know what i’m talking about, i’m just really not sure about the lack of urgency and the weak response to this situation. it’s a bad heap that just got worse because it wasn’t handled with the right feel for the gravity of the situation.

          and the sheer senselessness and stupidity of this really got me down. makes you want to cry in frustration, because the people out there really don’t need this now. what’s going on in the heads of the people who started this? in times like these i just wish the justice league or them avengers are real. that’s right. i’ve been reading a lot of these superhero comic books lately and i’m really connecting with how the writers are so much aware of the stupidity of mankind in general, that we may just need to pin our hopes on super beings that are pure in their intention to help us normal folks.

          i know that it’s really easy to say "i hope they turn out fine" or "we’re really sorry" and shit when you’re back home comfortable in your bed and eating snacks from your fridge full of food. and bush is out there saying that he’s "confident the victims will get through this and recover and be stronger for it..", sumthin’ like that. well fuck you, george. the anniversary of 9-11 is next week, and we remember how you fucked that one up, too. i saw michael moore’s documentary, you dumbass old fart.

          just one of the things that depresses me is of being guilty that a lot of us have it so good while other people barely scrape by and all we can do is give a little help so that we can feel a little better about the less fortunate. and if we really do intend to help where do we start? sometimes things are just so fucked up that all this shit can really overwhelm you.

          then you start to think about all the greedy assholes that take from other people, who feed off human misery, who make money by using other human beings. makes me hope to make a whole load of money and be like bruce wayne or tony stark, use that money to make a difference and instill fear in the hearts of evildoers. cool ‘yun.

          probably why these two are my favorite super heroes / alter-egos. for me, money may be the only feasible way to make a real-life superhero. did you see batman begins? and the concept of being a billionaire industrialist like tony stark, being able to build for himself the iron man armor suit really appeals to me. i’m not really sure if being bitten by a radioactive spider or being bathed in gamma rays can make you a real live superhero. but billions of money, resources, power and scientific research with sufficient funding may just do it.

          oh-kay, the booze is wearing off now, so..

          with the impeachment drive being squashed by the menace in the palace, idol eddie is looking for the people’s outrage. hey, it’s the weekend, right? maybe they’re just chillin’ right now, and the circus will re-open on monday. seriously, the lack of response or reaction from the filipino people in general may be because of a lack of alternative, and we’re learning to take our time to digest all of these. just like what this guy says. finally, i found this article that bears a close resemblance to what my take on this whole thing is, and i share the hope that we as a people may just be learning to refuse to be used again to serve the purpose of those who want a power shift. again. sure, glo is by all indications guilty as hell, but right now, we really don’t need this pile of crap being served to us. we can’t rush into this again. we need to stay away from the "bad-boyfriend cycle", which in our case, we have to find a leadership that suits us and promises deliverance. hey, this can be a good thing. we KNOW the president is guilty, so we can use this against her, and she can’t really fuck around with us right now because everyone is in close watch. well, she may have screwed us real good with this E-VAT implementation, but hey..what? i have nothing. we’re really fucked now.

          ok, we spring the lighter side of things..

          ty is out. our boy mig is the only rocker who hasn’t fallen in the bottom three yet. now it may be down to him and marty, with suzie as the dark horse. j.d. is just there to make good tv, with him being the only disagreeable guy in the group and all. and this guy really believes he is that good that it’s just funny as hell. in his parting shot, ty called out the black community for not supporting him enough in the voting. he’s right, dead on. his people just weren’t that inclined to go out and support him, just maybe not with this type of musical competition. but personally, i think he just won’t fit in with inxs, and that’s one of the good things about the show ( one is brooke burke..). if you don’t win, it’s not that bad of a knock against you. you can be the best performer or singer of the whole lot, but the band still has the veto power if you can’t fit in with them.

          a nice twist would be for the runner-up to get to be the frontman for the houseband. those guys are good.

          i looked up what exactly happened to their original singer, michael hutchence, and was surprised with some things that came up in this transcript. he had a spat with bob geldof on the phone before he died, and initial suspicions that he was performing auto-eroticism was the cause of his death. see, i just read about this, that apparently some people temporarily suffocate or strangle themselves while ah, uhrm.. pleasuring themselves.. i thought that shit was fucked up, then i read about it in the transcript and was like, "hey! just read about that!". he hung himself with a belt and he was naked when they found him, so they thought it a possibility. but it was ruled out, though, and they declared that he really did take his own life.

          and in the nba, the rich just got richer. i don’t understand mikey’s decision. if i’m running out of time in my career as an nba player and i desperately want a championship, i won’t ride with a proven champion. i’d go with a hungry contender, where i can make a difference. if a team was a champion before i got there, where’s my contribution should they win another one? sure, i’ll get my ring, but they were champions before i got there, i just helped them defend it. i want to be on a team where that first taste of a championship would be so much sweeter, and it won’t appear like you were just there for the ride, you helped them get to where they want to be. you will be the proverbial "missing piece". so the key word there is desperation. like what karl malone felt when he tried to ride with shaq and the lakers.

         i blabbered on long enough, i’m deciding that’s all for now. everybody try to enjoy the weekend. we all deserve it, in a way. hit it, jagger..

         I see a red door and I want it painted black
         No colors anymore I want them to turn black
         I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
         I have to turn my head until my darkness goes..

         I look inside myself and see my heart is black
         I see my red door and it has been painted black
         Maybe then I’ll fade away and not have to face the facts
         It’s not easy facin’ up when your whole world is black..
