“You CAN Fucking Help It, Dagnammit!”

I dunno…in the depths of observing, feeling and thinking about differing shit, one can come to realizations. One of the realizations that has struck me – I mean REALLY struck me – is how truly pathetic a person makes themselves look when they use the phrase: “I can’t/couldn’t help it”. I’m talking about instances when the fuck-up is one they clearly could’ve avoided.Okay, I’ll be the first to step up to the table, raise his hand and admit to using the aforementioned phrase – not often but sometimes. And I’m sure peeps let slip the dreaded phrase once or twice in situations of minor dimension. But think about what happens when usage slips into the habitual realm; like religion it becomes a crutch – something in which to hide away from the grasp of truth. In reality, saying and believing that you “couldn’t help it” actually makes you more dependent on others to sort all your problems; casts you in the role of victim. Some peeps use the phrase as justification for acting like a total fucking cunt! “I can’t help being a compulsive bully/ cheater/ child molester/ racist/ rapist,” they’ll tell ya, to which I say: “YES YOU CAN, YOU FUCKING PATHETIC WASTE OF EXISTENCE – YOU SIMPLY CHOOSE – YES, CHOOSE – NOT TO!” Unfortunately the “I can’t help it” mode of copping-out is prevalent in the media and society. Don’t believe me? Check out the celeb/politico whose 40-line a day drug habit/ 40-blowjobs a night infidelity is blamed on “the pressures of fame/the job”; or worse yet the crim who blames his lousy character on “socio-economics” or “bad parenting” or other such BS. As if external conditions have the first and final say over their actions! What are they – fucking mannequins? Jellyfish? Anything to avoid facing up to the real problem – their CHOICES!!Bah!Maybe I’ve made a mountain out of a molehill but – and this applies to me as well as others – as long as we breathe, blink and burp we have the capability to think, choose, act, change – we CAN help it….

Damn that WAS a conniption…oh, well..that’s what this page be for….;)
