Letter 1

Hay <Redacted>,

I met your sister.  She seemed cool.  Like you in reverse in a lot of ways.  She, a blond; you, dark hair.  She, happy; you, not so happy.  Sorta the ying and the yang.  She told me that you’re having a hard time up there.  That sucks.  I’m glad you’re coming back here.  I think you’ll have way more fun.

I read your blog entry.  It would appear you would like answers.  Perhaps your questions were rhetorical but at any rate, I’m going to respond.

Ignorance is bliss.  The stupid people in this world, as I see it, have it right.  In this society, why not be content to own a house, breed, and have faith in something to such a point that one just doesn’t care.  Access to all the toys of America.  Why not?

Unfortunately for you and me, and a lot of other people we know.  We have eyes that are open.   For me, at least, I cannot close them.  I can’t even think how to try.  So we are cursed with knowledge.  It sucks.

However, in ways, it can also be cool.  The world is a fucked up placed, getting more so by the minute.  But it’s all so FUN!  Watching the dysfunction in Washington is fun, in a way.  On one hand, they tried to dick the poor out of health issuance.  On the other, the horse race was interesting to watch.  Personally, I feel the anger at the Republicans for being so wrong, and frustration that even with this President, nothing can get done; but I know that it’s all just fucking stupidity and that in the end it’s all just a farce, a bad play that makes me laugh.

That’s the real advice I have for you.  Life is a farce.

On feeling jaded.  The first time I wrote “I’m so jaded” or something to that effect, I was 18 or 19.  I suspect that you have felt jaded for some time.  It is that jaded feeling that allows one to see life as a farce.  If you’re jaded you can either let the world shit on you or you can determine that it all just doesn’t matter so fuck it.  I say “Fuck It.”

Well, that was direct.  But there you go.  Hope it helps in the grand scheme of things.  If you need to talk or have questions, feel free to call or write me back.

Finally, Have Fun.
I say that all the time because it is the best advice I can give anyone.
Hopefully see you soon.

Dameon.
