Not Easily Amused http://noteasilyamused.com Thoughts on avant media culture and its effect upon discourse, thought patterns, social behavior and the taste of beer. NEVER links to YouTube, kittens, or Pr0n (go ask a 12 yr old)... and, NEVER EVER telling you it's chocolate when it's not.

No… I love the world,
I love high society & even the demi-monde, since I’m a sort of a demi-mondain myself.
But what have I come to do on this Earth, which is so earthly and so earthy?
Do I have duties to perform here? Have I come here to carry out a mission –a commission?

Have I been sent here to amuse myself? to enjoy myself a little?
…to forget the miseries of a beyond which I no longer remember?

Am I not unwelcome here?

What should I say to all these Questions?

Thinking, almost from the moment of my arrival, that I was doing some Good down here, I began to play a few musical airs which I myself had invented…

All my troubles stemmed from there.
