This is not my first and definitely not my last. I've been in this situation before. Actually, I'm pretty sick and tired of it. I've seen the best and experienced the worst...well that's what they are - men. Little creatures of vices...rabid believers of transient episodes...infamous beings with astounding catabolic powers to destroy perfection. Ah men! The mini-composite of irony...the indestructible epitomes of freedom and of bondage...the living replicas of the unnecessary. Yes men...the genetic line that spells egocentricity...the walking chromosomes who dominate the world by dragging everyone to the Church of Paternalistic Belief.
Men...they once adored us...once possessed us...once loved us...once showered us with utmost bliss...once made us miss the entire planetary revolution...once made us believe that we can actually defy gravity..once fooled us to believe that we're nothing without them.
Men...they crushed our egos...they made our lives miserable...they inflicted us with pain that we cannot possibly forget...they sent us to Armageddon powerless...they took all the love that we have and left us with nothing but an empty soul.
Men...the catalysts for our transformation...the primary witnesses to our metamorphosis ...the beings to which we owe much of our coexistence to...the same beings who we sometimes wish to have never existed at all.
Men...we might need them...we may not...we might care for them again...we may not...we might open our hearts for this strange creatures...we may not...it matters less...what scares me is the fact that they're just around lurking until another doomsday is set to happen...and it just arbitrarily happens...no warning signals...no chance to contemplate.

Hear ye, hear ye!
In the tradition of Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters, you are all invited to come for a Spoken Word gig at Crammers on General Luna Street, November 6 at 6 PM. The legendary author of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest won’t be there, but we’ll have some of Iloilo’s shoo-in scenesters present--poets, fictionists, artists, musicians, and people on the fringe.
This gig launches a series of spoken word performances which will culminate with an online site for New Iloilo Writing.
To confirm your attendance, please email archprankster@yahoo.com or drop a note on Sofistoprose.blogspot.com. Since response is overwhelming, we may have to limit reading and performance time to 10 minutes at the most, so you need to confirm with us immediately for a secure spot in the program.
This event is brought to you in part by Alfalfa Media, one of the Bay Area’s leading SEO specialists and Crammers, your official crib notes.
