All Hell's A Coming...As We Know It
hell·hole
n.
1. A place of extreme wretchedness or squalor.
2. Obsolete. The pit of hell.
any place of pain and turmoil; "the hell of battle"; "the inferno of the engine room"; "when you're alone Christmas is the pits"; [syn: hell, hell on earth, snake pit, the pits, inferno]
"The infliction of cruelty with a good conscience is a delight to moralists - that is why they invented hell." - Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)
And Hell is where we resides...now that's a fact that's "as sure as water's wet and days are long and a friend'll always disappoint you in the end," to quote from good ol' Mad Sweeney from American Gods. So, it's just a matter of how you deal with it. Burn in hell? Or rather, better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven? The latter of course...There you got it, it's a thinly veiled good ol' optimistic message hidden behind a pessimist's guise. Like some smartass once said, "when you are at your worst, it can only get better", smartassque, but true.
Being the ever self-aspiring (albeit pathetically) writer, this mantra had always been an recurring topic and morale behind most of my works: Reality sucks. History lies. World is Hell, and everybody else living in it is the Devil, and that includes you. There's no hiding from it, as it's full blown, in-your-face, no-shit PAIN everyday. But no matter what, we lived through it. Because every single day, we made choices, good or bad, smart or silly, we face its consequences; we exorcise our demons (or not), we clear up skeletons in our closet (or not), and we lived through to fight for another day, another time, for our dreams, aspirations, for what we believe in. Be it a random kindness, a deed (good or evil) due, or the world at your feet.
Enough rantings. This blog has been created due to the fact that, quite simply put, there's more shit in me than I expected. So bear with it, thing is, you might just attain nirvana by simply staring at shits...Articles,(previews, reviews and views on the latest flicks, books, comics, etc...basically anything subjective enough to get critical about, and that includes politics) , sketches, (did I mention that I actually draw?) and perhaps, news (that's arousing or disturbing enough to keep me interested) will be posted every now and then. Obviously, this is definitely time-consuming, so confirming daily updates are doubtful, proves to be more understated than I thought, but hopefully everytime someone crazy enough decides to check back here to look around can find something they like, or at the very least, hate.
