Graduation, words, and an inspiring song by one of my great musical heroes
Congratulations are in order for my beloved little sister Mary, who is going to be graduating from Berry College in Rome Georgia this very Saturday. She's a photojournalism major, and she's three years younger than me.
That would make her 22 this August.

"But Oni-domo", you ask, "What about you and college?"
Well, first off, I went in whilst on medication that had been prescribed for a disfunction I DIDN'T FUCKING HAVE. Secondly, I was hardly ready for the responsibilities college demanded of me.
Simply put, I flunked out and got a job.
But thankfully all is not lost. I've made it a point to sign on for either Lanier Technical Academy or Gainesville College (now a recognized four-year state college) in the Fall and once again pursue that most important piece of paper; a College Degree. It's not too late; I can still get at least an Associate's Degree before I turn 30. As always in The World of The Oni, there is hope; there is always a way.


The Oni went out and purchased Rob Zombie's latest masterpiece "Educated Horses". This demigod of a man can do no wrong. Seriously. He just keeps putting out top-notch material! I don't care how he does it, just so long as he keeps doing it and comes through Atlanta on tour.
BECAUSE THE ONI WILL SO FUCKING BE THERE.

One of the songs on the album particularly touched my fancy, and I must daresay it's downright anthemic for yours truly. So, I present you with The Oni's Latest Theme Song: The Devil's Rejects

I am the Bad One
Distant and Cruel One
I am the Dream that
KEEPS YOU RUNNING down
With distraction
Violent reaction
Scars of my actions
Watch me RUNNING OUT
HELL DOESN'T WANT THEM
HELL DOESN'T NEED THEM
HELL DOESN'T LOVE THEM
THE DEVIL'S REJECTS
Yeah I am the Brains
Some say Insane
Blood is the Rain
That's what life's about
In the Great Wide
Head Split and Tongue Tied
Watch the sun die
When you're RUNNING OUT
(chorus)
(My personal favorite verse here)

YEAH I AM THE KNUCKLE
BOW DOWN AND BUCKLE
HOLD YOUR BREATH
YOUR WORLD IS RUNNING DOWN
LIVE FOR THE FAMILY
DIE WITH THE FAMILY
ALL IS THE FAMILY
MY GUN IS RUNNING OUT

Hell doesn't want them
Hell doesn't need them
Hell doesn't love them
AND THIS WORLD REJECTS THEM



That song really spoke to me on an Oni level. Hell, the whole damn album's terrific. GO OUT AND BUY THE DAMN THING NOW!
