Kevin’s been coming with the suicide jokes..
See, I like a good suicide joke, because it’s difficult. Of the things you can make fun of, it seems like one of the more difficult to properly frame.
It’s a challenge.
“We choose to mock the shedding of this mortal coil, not because it is easy, but because it is difficult.”- Ted Kennedy
Once again, I think Carlin cornered the market.
That one bit, taking you directly inside the head of the aging man, planning out his own suicide..joking about getting the noose hung in the true center of his garage, because if a thing’s worth doing….
Seems like it’d be tough to frame jokes, because so many civilians really are hanging on the edge.
So you can’t say,, you can’t truly say..
“Hey! This thang ain’t gonna get no better for you, you oughta bounce”
Can’t say it,,completely taboo,,which of course,,,makes you want to say it.
Or the parallel topic of Homicide , suicide pointed outwards.
To not promote, but to go inside the head of someone willing to murder,,
Serious business lol.
I like that stuff, because it feels like it’s high level stuff.
If I text my boy
“Hang in there”
And he texts back..
“My ceilings are too low”
?????/
He shoots, he scores,, in my perverted mind.
Took some ugly part of his inner psyche,and held it out there
“Ain’t this weird?”
Weird? Yes
Uncommon? No
Once again, something accessible,relatable.
If I get off on the heavy conversations, maybe I could man a phone at the suicide hotline.
“Look maaannn, you’re just bacteria, so what you do doesn’t matter one way or the other”…
Bleak..
True,, so you’re being authentic..
ANd that’s another topic
“Being,,authentic”
It’s in trend, because it’s a successful formula.
(The personality, has become the commodity)
Seems like some golden calf shit to me.
Movies and television cranked vanity to 6, then the internet made us all stars of our own show..
I would imagine there would be an adjustment period to that.
15 or 20 years of putrid, vile, sewage pouring out of the soul of every monkey.
Makes sense…
(Off topic..)
Yeah I guess so..
I like a good suicide joke,, not because I want to kill myself,,simply because it’s a heavy fucking subject.
It seems like territory where you’re expected to wear the kid gloves,, out of empathy for all the sad people..
SO it’s wrong, on principle,
Which makes it work.
And those are the friendships I value, what do the kids call that?
“Going deep in the paint”
We want to be like our heroes, so we try to say outlandish shit…
Makes perfect sense.
