Dirty Stupid Wisdom with Ben Keaton
I know a lot of things.
Correction. I have a lot of experience.
Moments of brilliance, tragedy, joy, success and poor decisions. A slop bucket of life.
These essays are an effort to make sense of that. It's supposed to make sense isn't it? We wouldn't be the only known living beings in the star system for no reason, that would be ridiculous.
I like simple things. And I like the pain we suffer. It cuts through the noise. And I like my confusion funny. Dirty Stupid Wisdom is my collection of funny, ridiculous, painful moments that suggest clarity and insight. They won't cure you but they might sustain you for a short while.
Dirty Stupid Wisdom with Ben Keaton
He Keeps a List
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ben Keaton keeps a list of people he hates.
It’s not a list you’d write down.
It’s a private tally of rage.
Petty. Profound. Occasionally piss-soaked.
This episode is about the fantasies we quietly enjoy and the hatreds we politely deny— It might include a theatre director who pours a pint over your head. I wonder who HE is?
There’s no grand solution to the things that make us seethe. You can dream about a car, a scream, and the funeral you attend, smiling.
But it’s just a fantasy.
THIS IS A TRUE STORY OF IMPOTENT VIOLENCE.
And yes—he keeps a list. He really does.
