A few issues back, I said that THO was dead, well not any more. I have decided to take it back online with an all new cast! Mabcoss, Mendlivian, Kirrel Fenn and Isolt. Tripping Jackrabbit has decided to start up his own little text group with himself, basically a diary group, but whatever floats his boat right? :) Icarus probably doesn't even remember being a member :). Psychosis never wrote a thing for us, but that's ok. The new cast and crew of THO shall be bigger and better than the old. Hope to see you want to apply to us in the future. Peace, Pip the Angry Youth >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>X<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< THO #9 : Commentary By: Pip the Angry Youth This country is going to hell in a handbasket. We are the Butthead Generation, I don't know about you but that makes me rather sad and dissapointed. A country of teenagers trying to impersonate 2 ficticious people who have nothing to say except "Uh huh huh, that was cool." and "FIRE FIRE FIRE!!!" We need to wake ourselves up and slap each other in the face to realize what's happening to us, we are becoming brainwashed by that big black box in the living room that is on allmost all day, the damned television. It shoves beautiful people at us, makes conversations and arguments over people who we have no clue as to what it's like to be them and call it a Talk Show. Conversation is dead and your TV holds the smoking gun that shot it down. Get up, stand up, read a fucking book or write a story or a simple commentary like this one to awaken your mind and expose your heart. Don't be afraid to look someone in the eye when you are talking to them, don't stare at the ground or stare into thin air while walking somewhere so you don't have to deal with other people, a simple "hello" will suffice nicely. DON'T BE SUCH A WIMP!!! We are also a very contridictive race. We are scared to do something about anything, but we are glued to the TV whenever there's a new murder in a city or a devastating force of nature decides to make havoc across the country. To quote King Missile "Why are we allways so reactive? Let's activate something!" Why don't you get off of your Lazy Boy recliner and put down your Budweiser and go out and play with your kids? Make a good impression on a neighbor who is struggling with their yardwork instead of ignoring them and pretend like you don't know that somehting is going on, just help them. You see someone of another ethnic back ground walking the street, don't purposefully cross the street and pretend like they're not there, just say "hi" to them or at least acknowledge that they are there, brighten their day. As my friend Matt said to me today "Y'know, you really should look a cashier in the eye and smile, it brightens their day." A spec of human compassion goes a long way today because it's such a rarity. Thanks for your time, it's been real. Pip the Angry Youth /////////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Well, so much for #9. I have several things that I had saved up for HardSnot that I am going to use for THO now, makes things muchas easier for me that way :)
