The city of Duluth is closed.
Not like, "all the businesses are closed." The city itself is closed. The snowplows aren't even running yet.
You know how, when you're a kid, it snows, and you watch the news in the morning to find your school's name on the little ticker at the bottom of the screen?
This afternoon the local news had one of those tickers, but instead of school's, it was listing towns.
Park Point is barricaded off because the bridge is too dangerous.
The plows aren't even running because if they cleared the streets now, they'd be impassable again in a few hours.
That is all. |

Ten things I might want to say to ten people, but which I might not have the guts to say. Expressly plagiarized, atomized and sodomized from untold millions of angst-ridden vermin around the globe.
1. I forgive you for killing my family. Indoctrination and brainwashing aren't your fault, and you can't blame individuals for genocide. It's not your fault you were a Hutu and I was a Tutsi, and it's not your fault that people like to follow strong leaders, so I don't blame you.
2. I'm sorry we shut down your entire industry. We didn't mean to, it was what we had to do to keep things profitable, and you know how that goes. So your entire family depended on those mines, and maybe even that whole part of the country.. but what could we do!? It's really not our fault.
3. I can't believe your fucking stupidity. We ARE you, we are your brothers and sisters, your friends... Or at least, we would be if you weren't such a bigotted fuck. You brought us here like animals, and then hate us for not leaving. Hate us for simply what we are, and for nothing more. You flaunt crosses but don't realize that CHRIST was one of us who you blindly hate. Die.
4. Is it really worth it to do this to us? Do we really deserve these shacks, and these mere pennies a day? Do you really deserve that fancy office and those nice clothes? Which one of us works harder? Make your case, but I think we do. I think that working for survival is harder than working for another Beamer, but maybe that's just me...
5. We're just doing our best, man. Don't shoot us for it. We're tryin to organize, we're tryin to get ahead, but just because we're poor and brown, you think it's ok to shoot us. You're an American company, aren't you? All we want is the freedoms you have there, here. I was under the impression the world left Haymarket in the 19th century, but I guess not. Beverages aren't half as refreshing when tainted with blood.
6. I only fucked you so you would get me another fix.
7. Get out of my country. Get out. All you do is bomb and shoot and kill and you refuse to even admit this is a war. We haven't even done anything. All we want is to live.
8. How are we supposed to get out of your country? All we do is bomb and shoot and kill, but there's nothing we can do about it. All we can do is what we're told. Don't shoot back at us, this isn't our fault. We haven't even done anything. All we want is to live.
9. Call this the land of the free, but your "freedom" has been systematically committing genocide against us, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, always surely, for the past five hundred and fifteen years. You're doing it still. So you aren't handing us infected blankets anymore, but we're still stuck in these pigpens you put us on in the 1830s, aren't we? We're still rotting in the middle of nowhere, consoling ourselves the only ways we can: with drink and drugs... But what else can we do? We're forced to onto these shitholes with no jobs, no prospects, no agriculture, no futures. Why? Because you've been lying to us, cheating us and stealing from us for centuries. Would you be so powerful if you actually followed your own rules?
10. Check it: If you haven't guessed, this is satire. You're problems aren't that bad. Put your shit in perspective people. A year from now, will this drama matter? Fuck no. Suck it up. Angst is cowardly, useless, and horribly self-absorbed. People are oblivious to any real problems in the world, so stop being such fucking drama queens... and finish your vegetables, there are starving children in the slums. |

For those of you who are over 18 and haven't already been told this by me:
Nathan Miller and his band are playing a free show on Thursday, November 16 at O'Gara's at Snelling & Selby. He plays blues-style electric lap slide guitar and writes excellent songs. The band provides hip-hop type bass and beats. It's really really awesome. If you want to check out some samples, they can be found here. |

(14:55:56) Francis of Today: damn cheerful weekend, i tell you hhwhat.
(14:56:50) Alec: Yeah man. I'm up to my ass in drama. It sort of makes me want to kill myself, because none of the drama actually involves me, except peripherally, but it's impossible to escape.
(14:57:13) Francis of Today: NO
(14:57:17) Francis of Today: thats defeatist thinking
(14:57:28) Francis of Today: you can win! NOONE needs drama, alec.
(14:57:48) Francis of Today: dont you remember what Fergie says? "You dont want no drama. No no no no drama, drama."
(14:58:10) Francis of Today: my humps=musical genius. |
