TRUE LIFE CONFESSION.
Yesterday I realised that I was nothing but a pathetic little creep who enjoys seeing my own wonderful name in print.Here it comes......mick middles..mick middles.... (lets try it in larger type)..MICK MIDDLES....oh that's super.. my horrible human ego is exploding with glee.....what a cunt I am, all I can do is talk about myself....I sink to the depths of pure self indulgence every day.. I convince myself that I am well worthy to dent the budding careers of hard working individuals who would never consider touching a hair on my precious golden (as in godly) brown hair.............Then again I could be helping them.........have I anything worthy to contribute to anything? Do I really give a shit about anything other than my own happiness?...why should I continue to exist if have no outside interests at all...(outside myself that is--) ?? Shall I continue to (Jimi) live in this room full of mirrors or should I crash through it......lets face it , I am a normal cunt.
Just like every shitty buisness man, every rock star, every politicion..every T.V. newsreader, every anarchist....every writer, everyone who has the chance..and everyone who bothers to live........Yet again we must face the fact that if I were to commit suicide then I would be giving every other cunt a slightly better chance of moving on..I would (for once) be doing something that is socially worthwhile.... yes, that's it.. the answer.. I'll kill myself.. of course I DON'T mean it...do I?? Why should I kill myself? I'd just be helping people like me.... and I hate people like me.. that is..untill I see people who are even worse.......untill I read the papers... watch the old box and generally observe the modern day ethics of buisness(oooh.. that word again).. sod 'em, I'll stay alive for the time being and continue to be a pathetic little cunt who just loves to see his stinking wimpy name in print...Here it comes again......mick middles...MICK MIDDLES M I C K M I D D L E S M I C K M I D D L
