UNREMITTING FAILURE

Our motto is simple

If it's worth the effort, it probably  isn't worth the effort.

The burning

The whole

World is secretly on fire. The stones

Burn, even the stones

They burn me. How can a man be still or

Listen to all things burning? How can he dare

To sit with them when

All their silence

Is on fire?

Thomas  Merton

We know it makes us a hypocrite

To declare the utter futility of everything, only to idolize the Baader-Meinhof Group. But we love them because they were inept, achieved nothing, and unlike most terrorists, knew how to have a good time. Besides, their gripes were legitimate. Germany's press was corrupt, and Germany's government was full of ex-Nazis who should have been behind bars. Still, they forgot the first and sole rule of Flight Club: "Only one thing matters: learning to be the loser." E.M. Cioran

Today's Motto

"Not yet to have digested the affront of being born."

E.M. Cioran

We've Invented

A new form of fire--that is entirely fire-resistant!

Up with radiation

We will sit here, overlooking the ruins of Chernobyl, until we die from radiation poisoning or turn into mutants. Because it's beautiful to us, this cityscape empty of people, and drunk on vodka we imagine the whole world thus, saved at last from the likes of us, who will finally and at long last have obliterated ourselves out of sheer incompetence. It is enough to say we never should have been here in the first place. No, our place is elsewhere, but where? Some Hell made in our own image. Let's just leave it at that.

We Cannot Hear a Politician Speak

Without thinking of Richard III's line, "In thy foul throat thou liest."

Peaceful Easy Jihad

I like the way that AK-47 lays

Against your skin so brown

And I wanna sleep with you in the desert tonight

With a dozen drones flying round

Cause we got a peaceful easy jihad

And I know you won't let me down

Cause I'll soon be a martyr in the ground

And I found out a long time ago

What hatred can do to your soul

Ah, but it can't take you any way

You don't already know how to go

I got this feeling I may know you

As a lover and a friend

So let's put down all our hatred

And let this stupid jihad end

So let's have a peaceful easy jihad

And I know you won't let me down

Cause I don't want to be a martyr in the ground

It's Memorial Day

And here at Unremitting Failure we fly the flag of futility with pride.

OUR EGOS ARE TATTERED OVERCOATS

We wear over our souls, they douse all that beautiful light that is within us. There are only a very few of us who are able to take them off and to walk, naked and shining, through the corn. The world is a lovely place we have transformed into a hell, by means of our egos that destroy not only us but also everything around us, and that cloud our eyes to the truth that we are all angels but do not know it, living in an inferno that should be Heaven, but never will be, thanks to the tattered overcoats we wear over our invisible and useless perfection.
