I'm actually glad to be heading back to Oklahoma today. "Welcome to the Gates of Hell", my friend said as she dropped me off at the airport where I'd begin my journey back to OKC. Well, if hell awaits me, then bring that shit on. I have evolved- or perhaps declined- to the point of openly welcoming the loneliness, anger, pain and worry that make up my life in the strange land where I make my home. My first few days back in OKC are gonna hurt, and I can't fucking wait. Bring me the agony.

In a couple more generations, we're all going to be girls. The breakdown of Manhood is THAT complete. We won't even be Women, because Men and Women cannot exist in the absence of one another. We'll all just be girls- obsessed with clothes, pop culture, and designer sunglasses.
It's happening.

I didn't have a childhood- I had a case history. I had no elders, no real role models to speak of. Who I am today is something I myself had to forge through fire and pain and blood- only some of it my own.

Social networking sites have made everyone into a pseudo-celebrity. The Facebook Famous, reporting the oh-so-glamorous minutae of their typical suburbanite wage-slave lives. "OMG we got so drunk lololol", they proclaim- adding nothing to the collective human intellect but certainly not taking much away from it, either.
Please surrender your brains. You've violated the Terms of Service.
