A view into my weird little world.

(EDIT: WARNING! THE FOLLOWING JOURNAL ENTRY CONTAINS SOME OVERT SENTIMENTALITY. THE CALLOUS, COLD-HEARTED AND SUPER MANLY MEN SHOULD NOT GO BEYOND THIS DISCLAIMER!)
I watched V for Vendetta the other day. I really dig the movie, and despite his protestations to the contrary, I really believe that the movie captured Alan Moore's idea pretty well.
I'm a generally passionate person. I keep it bottled up because if I don't I become overwhelmed with the ebb and flow of every day emotion, but I really am quite passionate. You may think that I'm some angry little monkey that flings handfuls of sarcasm and spite, and if you do, that's good. It's an image I've worked really hard to promote. It means I've been doing my job.
Just so you know for sure, who you're really talking to when you note me or post a comment, my favorite part of the movie "V for Vendetta" is a single line that breaks me down like a kid every time I hear it.
"What I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that though I do not know you and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you, I love you. With all my heart, I love you."
This is what Jesus meant. This is what Buddha meant. This is what Krishna meant. This is what so many other great people in history have meant to say and have been misinterpreted and misquoted and misunderstood and misrepresented.
This is what I mean when I say that something you said was, "cool," or, "I agree." I know who my friends are and who are not my friends. I know how few and far between real friends are and that you can be surrounded by your "friends" and be totally alone, or a thousand miles away and communicating over a super thin fiber optic cable and in truly good company. Thanks for being there.

Yes, I know my spelling and grammar are vile at times, but I do try to learn from my mistakes, but medication and old age make it an adventure in annoyance.
But yes, Thank you brillant Angry Monkey, we other monkeys support you completely.
I think thats why I came up with "Monkey Jesus!" as an exclamation a few months ago.
If I had to boil down everything those great people said to a short sentence, it would be this, "Please, just stop doing such horrible things to each other, and we'll all get along much better". But yours is much more poetic, and they said so much more. I think it's said when men preach nothing but peace and love, and other men throughout history think it mens "Kill everybody who doesn't follow the rules in a very old book that isn't very clear. Or is a different color than you."
