CLUB CALLED HEAVEN
March 23rd 2008 16:27
They ought to have a club for the rejected. They ought to have a club for people who get constantly judged and gossiped about, for the people who get looked down upon. In this club they’ll give free drinks to alcoholics and cigars to the smokers. They ought to have clubs for girls who don’t shave and guys who are plain ugly, no matter how much gel they put on. They ought to have a club for outcasts and failures, for the people with no ambition, for the people who don’t want to work for someone who will always be wealthier than they are. They ought to have a club for kids like us who were beaten around for being who we are, who were never able to claim what we worked so hard to get.
They ought to have an exclusive club for us ungrateful dickheads who feel sorry for ourselves, who cry from petty little things. They ought to have an exclusive club for those people who were pissed off during Christmas, who had no one to greet them a Happy New Years. They ought to give Free Entry passes to those who didn’t spend shit on Valentine’s Day, who actually know what the hell Easter is really about. They ought to have a club for ugly people, for naughty people, for fat people, for smelly people, for the bullied, for the hypocrites, for the scum of the earth. They ought to have a club that will put all the world’s dirt on a pedestal and be reminded that dirt is still worth something.
In this club we can have spelling mistakes, we don’t have to appreciate Shakespeare, we can listen to disgusting money making mainstream pop music and still be cool. In this club there are no mirrors there is no guilt there is no hatred and everyone is okay, everyone is great, everyone is not bad at all. We’ll no longer want to be somebody else. We’ll no longer want to march in this one furious line. We’ll no longer hate ourselves. We’ll no longer be tired. We’ll no longer be heartbroken. We’ll no longer be insomniacs. We’ll no longer be second preference. We’ll no longer be confused. We’ll no longer be empty. We'll no longer be the masked models in magazine photographs or the actors in movie posters. We'll be actual people.
They ought to have a club for the geeks, the wankers, the unfunny, the non-charming, the hypocrites, the mentally unsound and the fucking idiots. I’ll be first in line. I’ll be yelling and screaming and attempting to dance, and everyone else will be there, yelling and screaming and attempting to dance. I’ll be the happiest person in the world.
They ought to have a club with a big sexy neon sign on top of it. On the sign would be the word, Heaven.

Sounds like heaven... and my kind of club too... a peaceful kind of place. I like it.
Hope your Easter has been Happy.

You might remember my son, David. He told me you were far too young to be writing like you do. Before he left to go and become a man.
He was right. You're far too young to be writing like you do.
But thank God Almighty for the gifts and talents and graces he distiributes unevenly. Otherwise the world would be a sadder place. We wouldn't have talented young men like yourself writing this exceptional and totally engrossing writing.

I'm glad that you guys are up to join me in the club. I'll buy first rounds. But you have to buy the next ones because I'm broke.
Wow this comment screen is different now. Who the hell is nomadwatt@hotmail.com?

I like that quote!
Thank you for your compliment, but my writing is far from good. Some writers are simply legendary. I'm still working at it! I've got a whole pile of great books right next to me, ready for immediate consumption and inspiration.

My guilty reading pleasures are embarrassing: reading L. Ron Hubbard sci-fi or those awful Dragonlance novels while eating packages of Nerds. I haven't done that in yeeears, though...
