Disclaimer:

This is a site by a writer, and as such you need to remember that all writers are paid liars. Most of what is on this site falls under that definition. For those who just don’t get it, no, Cory does not live on a compound, has never shot the icicles off his neighbor’s house with a LAWs rocket and has never used armadillos for anything than what they are intended for.

If you are offended by something on the site, we are not sorry. It is not the job of a writer to tuck you in quietly at night with a kiss on the forehead, telling you that everything is OK, tomorrow will be a better day than today, and we’re all one big happy family.

Well, some writers think that is their job.

They are wrong and need to be injured with something large and heavy, preferably made of oak.

They are wrong that that is a writer’s job, and they are wrong that they are writers. They are mindless, soulless purveyors of cotton candy in the place of a good solid meal and should be regarded with the same contempt given to the person who writes a witty jingle that sticks in your head that gets you to sing the praises of a new flavor of potato chip or the latest artery clogging deep fried crapburger for McDonald’s.

It is the job of a writer to make you think. To piss you off. To make you laugh. To get under your skin and have you look at the world in a different way. To be an Agent of Change with words, and to pull you out of your preconceived notions. To stir the pot and bring up all the burnt dark stuff that lies beneath the surface.

That is what we do here.

That is what Writers do.

And if you don’t like it, too bad. Go somewhere where you aren’t challenged and let your brain continue to shrink from disuse. We won’t miss you.

If you do like it, let us know. Writing is something done alone, and any sort of message from someone, even if it’s just to remind us that we still can't suck enough, helps put words on the screen.

Now get out of here before we piss on your leg and tell you it’s raining.
