Quality Nonsense #1: A Letter to You

You are probably wondering why I am writing a letter addressed to "you", but if you continue reading, the answer and a bit extra will be revealed. In my short nineteen years of life I have lived a relatively good life in a bad world. I am fortunate enough to have been blessed with loving parents, strange friends and a childhood in an odd town that is a mix of pleasant as well as horribly depraved people. Not only that, but I have had cable television for most of my life. It is through such experiences (among many others) that I have learned we live in an oxy-moronic society.

Certainly, it is due to the undeniable fact that all good things can also be perceived as bad; the abstract nature of humanity has allowed perception to be a unique experience to the individual. The human mind is a mysterious device that can make anything whatever or whatever anything. If you want to believe eating dirt will give you energy, the mind can make it happen. God will become real and speak to you, so long as you truly believe that voice inside your head is the voice of God. Sure, some may call that schizophrenia, but what do they know aside from what they know?

What difference does it make if God chooses to talk to people who wear capes and ride the spaceship outside of ShopRite? Personally, I would expect the person that God has chosen to converse with to be a bit outside the norm. Ahh, but who's to say anything really? God may be real or merely a figment of the human imagination. Since nothing is truly certain besides death, which could possibly be the crossing over into a new world, we as humans are given a dilly of a privilege. That being the ability to be prophets, philosophers, and everything in between; we can formulate our own theories no matter how weird they are because there is always someone, somewhere who will be inspired in one way or another.

That is why I have decided to write you this letter. I wanted to tell you first before I shared my theories with the world. What this letter is a prelude to is a series of essays, rants, missives and nonsense. And it is only fitting that it be titled "Quality Nonsense" as a tribute to the oxy-moronic state of things. The overall objective is to inspire, influence and entertain every person that finds themselves in a clash between my words and their eyes. Even if they don't entirely agree they will come out more knowledgeable, and in that sense this cannot fail. Still, I am optimistically pessimistic as to how this whole literary experiment will turn out. Nevertheless, keep your eyes peeled as the first in this series of Quality Nonsense is on its way.

Take Care,
