The Mad Giggler on :
Sometimes it's nice to commune with nature, but honestly, when I don't get a hot shower in the morning (after sleeping on a soft bed) I feel like nothing can be right in the world.
Tuesday, April 21. 2009A place called Hell
My family left me last week during Spring Break and went to hell. I thought, that's just funny. I decided to stay back in heaven...
My brother-in-law had to move there with his family so he could work for power company. Being in the middle of nowhere, my wife felt bad and decided to take the kids there...well most of them.
Anyway, I got to thinking. The place has absolutely nothing going on there except wilderness. I hope I haven't offended any possible wilderness aficionados here, but that's just not my cup of hot chocolate. They brag over there about no stores, no cable, hardly any people, and the most impressive part of the experience living there is killing rattlesnakes that cover your lawn in the summer, and fishing on a lake. Is this hell to you? It is to me. What place(s) have you visited, besides your in-laws, that you would consider hell? I also heard someone say in a talk one time, "if you're in hell it's better to just go through it. Don't stay in hell. Go through it." Technically, the place is called Hell's Canyon. Please see if you're bored to death at: http://www.ohwy.com/id/h/hellscan.htm Needless to say, when my family arrived home last night, my wife was totally ticked at me. I wonder why... Trackbacks

Ancient of Days on :
I think it was Sartre who famously said "Hell is other people". I would rather be with my in-laws than my own family; and while I neither seek out nor attempt to avoid 'wilderness experiences', rattlesnakes aren't terribly high on my list of 'creatures I enjoy encountering'. I know people will exclaim "But they're more scared of you than you are of them!" - to which I respond "Who said I was scared? I just want them all dead." Also, a great thing about the wilderness is that paper books function just fine under solar radiation!
So, no, this isn't 'hell to me'. It's far more hellish to come into work every day and see your ugly mug than it is to be in the Great Outdoors. I probably would have gone with them just to avoid the fight you've stepped into. Swatson on :
True it is that "Hell is other people" sometimes. What may have not been expounded on, is that I was not invited to the party. In fact, let's go further and say, I was not wanted at the party.
Agreed on the reading a book under solar radiation. You must have misspoke when you said my ugly mug. I am a very handsome bald fat man. Radar on :
Wait, Utah County is Heaven? I have been to the UC, and if that is heaven, stick me in purgatory.
Ancient of Days on :
Purgatory isn't any better - I think it's located in Southern Utah, about 20 miles North of St. George.
Swatson on :
Whoa, Nelly! I never claimed that Utah County is Heaven. It is a form of hell all in itself.
If you see AoD statement above regarding "Hell is other people," I think the opposite can be true: People can contribute to being in a state of Heaven. Sideshow on :
No, I'm pretty sure people just contribute to Hell.
