I'm just a real normal guy and it's not really a big deal. I'm adult. I'm an adult man and that's just how I roll. My wife isn't complaining about it, I can tell you that. And the kids... they love and respect my basic nature of adultness. I don't go drinking, or even really drink at all anymore. I don't go out "partying". Those days are behind me, obscured by an enveloping blackness. I have turtle waxed my car, and will turtle wax it again many times before I die. If something better is invented, I will move on to that. I'm just a real boiler plate kind of man in the world, being who I am. Not even bragging or proud about it. My pride level is completely acceptable. I'm just saying, is all I'm doing. Sometimes on the weekends I fix a chair or take everyone to dinner. I know how to plumb, though do not claim to be a plumber. I never find myself transfixed by a persistent vision of what it would be like to start a chainsaw and hold it against an alive person's neck, letting its teeth do their hungry work. I don't play video games anymore, because I have taxes to do and bills to play. It's your basic situation for a normal adult guy like me. No, I don't know what the newest musical trends are. As an adult man, my adult brain cannot process these things because a hard shell of basic responsibility has formed on top of it, protecting it from interloping concepts. I play with my children or watch them play on their own. I watch them gestate into the basic adults they will one day become. I know they will come for me. On that day I will try to destroy them. I know I will fail, but I will try regardless. They will take my wife, they will take the little kingdom I have built up around me; on that day my burden will finally be laid down. It is what it is, am I right? It makes me very sad when I see other people not getting this lifestyle. I blame everything. The whole world hastens to its ruin, because of it. But what can a basic adult man who can only do the best with what he has been given, god willing, do about anything? Just grin and bear it, and be good. Be a good kind of adult man. I am an adult man, a good adult with much to share. It's not a big deal.

Otherwise you're doing really well, you support your family and they support you, that's super sweet. I know I'll never have kids but I'll look after my family best I can. But yeah, no bigs. Maybe I can be the cool uncle that lets them explore around the river, and lets them eat icecream for breakfast (actually no, they get oatmeal).

Most of the time, various vaguely-socialist (if you squint real hard and are a CIA analyst with a quota to meet) democratically elected societies are perfect targets for...ahem, providing very real material and financial support for "freedom fighters" who use "unconventional methods" to install a pro-American administration. Also it's a pro-torture and pro-"ethnic cleansing - if you know what I mean" administration. Hey, if this is your guys' problem, you're winning, so don't worry about it. Willingly supporting this whole thing makes you a "good guy".

So I guess I could be mistaken. I'm just a hardworking guy who doesn't want to feel reeking flesh heat press against his face as he devours baby-men alive in their racecar beds.

Don't worry, you don't have to feel babyflesh pressed against your face as you are forced at the point of death to devour the previous occupant of your highly coveted industrial slot point, while you do his/her work. Ultimately though, your secret fears were true. Reagan was right, in the end. Something trickles down. poo poo trickles down. Eat the rich.

Like I'm sure a lot of guys do, I play on a coed work softball team. I'm certainly not the best player on the team, though I'm also not the worst. I guess you could say I'm somewhere in the middle. I had my fair share of athletic experience growing up, so I have the fundamentals of hitting and catching down pretty well. My physical ability isn't what it used to be, but I can still keep up with a lot of the younger guys (and gals). I usually play third base, and since I'm a normal guy just like everybody else, I never stand out there watching the hitter come to the plate and imagine the smell of burning flesh and hair, the screams and sounds of panicked desperately clawing, the mass of writhing bodies piling higher as they rush and fail to escape the blaze lapping up the structure and the once-people around them faster than they could have imagined, feeling the growing heat and not yet willing to accept that it will be the last sensation they ever know. When Dan gets up to hit, I usually shift in quite a bit, because he's a pretty good bunter, and I'm just not as fast as I used to be.

I won't be made a fool of. I am respected by many people, although I'm not one to brag. I am a steady adult man and I don't get involved in politics. Who are you? Are you a good man? Are you a good woman? Are you worth anything? Do you even know what worth is? Can you sense the contours of it with you mind? Would anyone notice if you were gone? If someone slipped into your home one night and whisked you away, making it so you could never again to bend good ears with your incoherent yawping, would anyone but your debtors weep? Would they even look for your shallow grave in the woods? I can tell you many people would notice if I disappeared. Everyone would mourn. The community would shake. I'm not bragging. I'm not speaking too highly of myself. It's a measured estimation. I'm a good man. I'm a good adult man.

I have a shadow or a memory of compassion, just an imprint, and by my own reckoning I am certainly worth nothing, and still know what worth is. My absence would be noted by some, who may themselves soon cease anyway. All memory of me may fade to nothing very quickly. My absence would not be noted. Ahh, but you, from your own reckoning, have some objective worth. I am nothing, but you are a good man. What would happen if I bound myself to you? If I met you in the flesh and shook your hand and became a trivial subordinate? And if you looked into my eyes and saw a total absense of anything? Or more correctly a void that was utterly antithetical to your own existence? Would you still shake my hand and welcome me into your group, even though I existed now solely as your doom?
