HATE

I hate it. I hate it with a passion. I hate it with every fiber of my being. It burns in my soul.

Unthinking
Uncaring

Our nation and our world are scarred by those who speak violence and act in violence; people who speak and act without thinking or caring.

Vice

Vice is the most profane four letter word in the English language. It is damnation. It is the fast lane to pain and suffering; the fast lane to Hell.

All too often in our society the depravity of drunkenness, drugging, gang-banging and gun-toting are lauded and revered when they should be reviled.

Why do I think these things? Why do I write these things?

I write them because they need to be written.
I think them because they need to be thought.

Open your eyes. Open your eyes and see the dark abyss of depraved behavior.

Only when you've seen the darkness can you truly appreciate the light.

Be a light unto the world. Guide people from the darkness.

This is a note to myself.
This is a note to the world.

I call on all who see this:
Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

While this is from the scripture of Matthew, it is a concept that is easy enough to understand and live by. With or without religion. Who would not want to shine in the eyes of their fellow man? Let your actions be such that all who see you know your light.

Alcohol drowns the light in toxication.
Drugs cloud the light behind a purple haze.
Guns snuff out the light with bloodshed.

Put an end to the culture that glorifies these depraved ways.
Put an end to the darkness.
Put an end to the vice.
Put an end to the suffering.
Put an end to the tears.

PLEASE.

Josh Konnely stands up out of his chair, turning away from the computer and the words on the screen.

"It is Tuesday morning here in Helsinki, and tonight I will be in a triple threat match with Twilight and Emerson.

Last week, however, I was betrayed by someone. I wouldn't call him a friend, just a means that helped meet an end: building the power of Revelation. It really doesn't matter. As far as I'm concerned Revelation is dead. It died when my Light was snuffed out and I SAW the light.

In a way I am glad that Kyle Murphy has joined Divine Intervention. Murphy is the exact sort of detestable poison I've always despised. Kyle doesn't care about anything or anyone except his looks, his freakish muscles, his vast piles of money, and how many people fall down at his feet in praise. He deifies himself, and that has always sickened me. I am glad to rid myself of that fecal waste known as Kyle Murphy. But alas, I will deal with him at the aptly named Retribution pay-per-view next week in Sweden.

Today we are in Finland, and today is all about Twilight and Emerson. Looking at the rest of the card, it shouldn't be that hard for yours truly to steal the show. Johnny Legend returns for the six hundred nineteenth time and takes on SwitchBlade. Who cares? I'd place the over-under on Legend's stint at about five weeks, and SwitchBlade has been little more than a high card jobber the last couple months. Sad but true.

Twilight knows about living in darkness, in the gray purgatory of Jeville. Emerson is a beer swilling Texas hick, so he damn sure knows about living in darkness.

Tonight at Titans I will introduce these two denizens of darkness to the light of Heaven. I will introduce them to the Beautiful Light. And when they finally wake up, Twilight and Emerson will be looking up at the lights as Robyn Byrne introduces your winner... 'The Marvelous Light' Josh Konnely."

Josh Konnely turns and looks again at the computer screen.

"I am sorry. Please do not get me wrong. I respect the Hell out of Twilight and Emerson. These guys have been laughingstocks and they have been champions. These guys have shown flashes of brilliance. Both of them have been on the receiving end of more than their fair share of beatings over the years. I know these guys can both take a lot of punishment: they have done it for years. It does not matter how badly you beat them down, or how many matches they lose. Twilight and Emerson will keep on coming back for more.

For this reason I know that it is not easy to beat either one of them. It will be even harder to beat them both together in this triple threat match. And yet it only takes me about one point three seconds for me to pull out the Omoplata Crossface or the Arm Triangle Choke- the Consuming Fire or the Beautiful Light. With those weapons I can make any man tap out just that quick.

Twilight... I will rescue you from Jeville.

Emerson... I will break your vice.

Gentlemen, welcome to the light."

Josh Konnely picks up his half of the newly disputed Tag Team Championships and walks out of the studio. The scene fades to WHITE.
