Hi there... Welcome to Hell

There are many different names that mankind has given to 'eternal damnation' throughout the ages ... one of them being ... 'eternal damnation.'

Others include but are not limited to:

  • Erebus 
  • Hades 
  • Acheron 
  • Tartarus 
  • Gehenna 
  • Tophet 
  • Abaddon
  • Pandemonium 
  • Sheol 
  • Avernus 
  • infernal regions 
  • The Abyss (Cheesy movie with 'ok' special effects for the time)
  • abode of the damned 
  • lower world
  • nether regions (One of my favorie names.) 
  • bottomless pit 
  • The inferno
  • the Antares Maelstrom
  • Round Perdition's flames
  • KHAAAAN!
  • And the classic go-to word -- Hell  
Most of these, if not ALL of them are band names as well -- I can just imagine the 15 to mid-twenty somethings going through their parent's copies of Roget's thesaurus thinking 'this will be soo cool -- what's cooler than naming our band another word for hell? we'll be sooo original -- we'll get signed for sure!'

--You cornballs know who you are.

The sad thing is they probably WILL get signed because that's about as deep/interesting as most labels allow their bands to be...but ... I digress.

The truth be told, today I experienced my own little piece o' hell today and that is the reason for this little broadcast right now. This morning I was forced to be within constant earshot of a girl who is probably about 19 - 20 years of age... Now hang on! we haven't gotten to the 'hell' part yet, in fact, if you were to ask me yesterday if I would like to see a 19 - 20 year old girl who was at LEAST a 7.5 on the sliding scale of attractiveness I would've said SURE,

Why not?

How could that possibly be a BAD thing?

As it turns out, today I found that answer.

Being stuck next to most people in close quarters can be a miniature eternity for me. Now try and imagine 5 solid hours of hearing phone call after phone call about 'relationship' after 'relationship,' and after being 'saved' after each call ends: before the sigh of relief can come...another phone ring and it all begins again. 

I did learn a lot about this girl, and what I DON'T want MY little girls to be like.

If they never ask about someone's 'BOO,' if they never have more then 5 calls in a row from different people to 'counsel'-- all relating to the SAME break-up, & if they stay off the pole then I think I can go to my grave knowing I've done my job.

*NOTE* that under labels for this broadcast I put my album title -- "This World of Idiots" and you might be wondering why... well it is people like this girl (and ALL of us really) who DO, have done or WILL do something so utterly stupid that we amaze ourselves that the human race has survived as long as it has.

That's who this album is dedicated to.

All for now.
