MIDNITE, it's wonderful to see you again.
Please be careful when talking to BrummieBoy, he's gone to the dark side and I'm struggling to drag him back from the brink.
I don't know if you're a religious woman, but if you are then I urge you to keep him in your prayers.
He may need an intervention, and I see a 'Prayer Circle for BrummieBoy' thread on the horizon.
I hope you won't get banned. I'm looking forward to reading your posts over the coming days and weeks, and with any luck; years.
Without fail, each post is filled to the brim with wisdom, truthfulness, and warmth; and after reading them I step away from the laptop with a smile etched onto my face.
A rarity in these bleak months after the passing of my beloved pooch, Toby, aged 18.
As a fellow animal lover, I know you can understand the distress I feel right at this moment, and empathise with my situation. Perhaps your heart is breaking a little bit too. If it is, I appreciate it, but I don't wish for you to become too upset. Because that would only make me feel worse.
My first recourse was to submit to an unrestrained, blissful rage, which I know was not conducive to my good mental health. Don't you ever feel a longing to kick someone when you're down though? Wouldn't it etch a smile onto your face? If only for a fleeting moment, before you succumbed to the usual feelings of regret and guilt.
I wanted to drag BrummieBoy down to my level, to cope with my loss. But my dog died way back in March so I may just be using that as an excuse. I could have been suffering from unresolved grief, unbeknownst to myself, and this is how it manifested itself. I haven't figured that out yet. I also haven't decided whether I should aid BrummieBoy and pray for him; or if I should destroy him. What do you think? I'm in sore need of your guidance.
You and I could pump him full of Xanex to keep him in a docile state while we take over the forum, for instance. Or would that be awful? But don't you ever feel that urge to do terrible things? To destroy? It is an internal conflict with which we constantly struggle throughout our lives. I'm certain you will appreciate the philosophy of that statement. You often provide reassurance on this forum, with many titbits and philosophical utterances which we absorb, and from then on continue to carry around with us in our subconscious. For that, you must surely be Heaven sent. I would be honoured if some of my words were to touch you in the same way. You have brought Grace, to more than one person, not just me. Of this I have little doubt.
An unsettling amount of the people on this forum are very sick, but more often than not you have had remedial qualities. You provide much needed balance, clarity, and compassion. You are undeniably an Angel. I wonder if you have considered a degree in Psychology? Or have you already completed your studies?
You should nevertheless be known as Professor MIDNITE, PhD, even if you don't officially have those initials after your name; because what are degrees anyway? Just worthless pieces of paper. You have done more than enough to earn those initials. The ineffable MORRISSEY never pursued higher education, and he has done all right for himself. He is not a PhD, but instead he holds the supreme title of G.O.D. (if you're a religious woman and I've offended you with that ~possibly~ blasphemous statement then I sincerely apologise. Unlike others on this forum, I respect people's religious beliefs.)
I have had a change of heart concerning MORRISSEY, you see. In the past, when in self-destruct mode, I was vitriolic towards him. Full of spite and bitterness; which was no doubt a very unhealthy attitude. I then had a reawakening and discovered that my love for The Great Man is unconditional. Ever since I was a 16 year old boy, flailing my arms along to early Smiths hits, to the present day. It is unshakeable and all-consuming. I will still be flailing my arms aged 80. I think you will be too. Perhaps we could do it together, whilst pushing our zimmer-frames
! In that old persons' home I will catch you if you topple over while you flail, as you have caught me on this forum more than once!
MORRISSEY's new music is wonderful, but so is most of his music. As for his 'controversial' statements - I don't care! He could say "Mozambiguous should be killed by a pack of hungry wolves", and I would forgive him. He could have Weapons of Mass Destruction, with his finger on the button, threatening to blow up the planet, and I would support his choice. I would listen to 'Ask' as the black billows of smoke obscured the red sky. And as the windows in the houses shattered, and the corpses began to scatter all around me, I would say "thank you Morrissey" with my final breath. Because in my eyes, he can do no wrong, and nobody on this forum could ever change my mind. Not the dictatorial and negatively biased owner, the vindictive moderators, the solipsist posters: NOBODY!
The only person who could change that would be Morrissey himself. If I met him in a Los Angeles bar, and he said to me: "Mozambiguous, I command you to hate me", I would say "MORRISSEY, I really do not want to do that, but for you I will do anything. So yes, I will hate you, if that is what you request". Other than that, NOTHING could make me feel differently. Certainly not the maniacs on this forum. Not even the spirit of my departed and much-missed pet pooch Toby.
Are any of the posters here capable of writing anything which approaches the beauty of "I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday"? No, they are not! Are they able to do anything other than pretend to find fault with Morrissey's humorous, supposedly 'controversial' statements? The evidence doesn't suggest so! They twist his words out of all proportion, and say much worse things themselves! However they don't have a 30 year musical legacy to back up their pronouncements. Only their bitterness, jealousy, and emptiness. In other words, they are inconsequential. BrummieBoy was the only one with a touch of literariness about him, but I have been disappointed in his conduct and the alliances he's made and he is now dead to me. The rest of the people here are without worth! I won't even lower myself to give them a lashing with my acid tongue, because they are beneath contempt.
I'm undecided on what to do henceforth about the late BrummieBoy. Should I put him out of his half-dead misery, or grant him some mercy and the opportunity for a resurrection? Do I allow the orgasmic rage to wash over me, and overflow, or must I attempt some self-control? Shall I decimate him? Calling Sister MIDNITE: what should I do about my nightmare!? One thing is for sure: anyone who consistently insults MORRISSEY is part of a swivel-eyed sub-species. And if I ever see ANY of them at one of Morrissey's evangelical life-changing/life-saving rock concerts I will be reporting STRAIGHT to Julia to ensure that they're escorted promptly from the building! Let us see how garrulous they are then, whilst getting their collars felt by a 300lb security guard. Most likely they'll keep schtum like the impotent dweebs they are! Right, too! Because if I heard them giving attitude and back-chat then I may be forced to get heavy-handed myself. Morrissey's majestic and tender evenings are solely for humans who need to be loved, not sub-species who need to be escorted from the building. They don't deserve to be in the same vicinity as the man. Frankly, I'm not too keen on being that near to them either. And I will allow nothing to ruin the ecstasy of a Morrissey show for me, NOTHING!
MIDNITE, thank you for returning, and please continue to brighten and purify this septic forum with your enthusiasm, light-heartedness, generosity towards animals, and general goodwill.
I wish you only the best, along with an extended, productive, and enjoyable stay.
God Bless You!
