In other words, the healing cannot begin while you're still hanging around a razor factory.
As one who has recently had to go through the torturous process of this sort of healing, I would now like to oraculate my thoughts on how to best go about the process of getting that particular show on the road, even though the show is, in general, about as entertaining, enjoyable, and amusing as the upcoming episode of 8 Simple Rules where they write in Ritter's death.
I will do this, so as not to bore the rest of the crowd, in the inimitable style of Howard Beale (played by the late, great Peter Finch) in the movie Network:
I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. You're depressed. Everybody's out of love or scared of losing their girl. The dollar buys a nickel's worth of flowers for a woman you don't even have. You're looking for a gun under the counter. Punks are running around with the girl you love and there's no one anywhere that seems to know what to do about it. You know the air tastes bitter, your food tastes bitter, and you sit watching your TV while some Sysop in Colorado tells you that today he had 15 blowjobs and 63 orgasms as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad. Worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy so you don't go out anymore. You sit in a house as slowly the girl you we're living with is getting farther and farther away and all you say is, "Please, at least let me come on this BBS. Let me make jokes, and jab at Jonsey, and make gay accusations and I won't cause trouble, just leave me alone." Well I'm not going to leave you alone. I want you to get mad. I don't want you to commit suicide. I don't want you to stalk anyone. I don't want you to write to her because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about your depression and the heartache and the other people on this board and the crying in your beer. All I know is first you've got to get mad. You've got to say, "I'm a young, virile stud, God dammit, my pecker has value!"
So, I want you to get up now. I want you to get up out of your chair. I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out, and yell, "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this skanky whore!" I want you to get up right now. Get up. Go to your window, open your window, and stick your head out, and yell, "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this skanky whore!"
Things have got to change, my friend. You've got to get mad. You've got to say, "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this skanky whore!" Then we'll figure out what to do about your depression and the heartache and the crying.
But first, get up out of your chair, open your window, stick your head out and yell, "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this skanky whore!"
Get it? Got it? Good.
