In The Demons' Head #229: Defeating Normalcy
June 29, 2015
Hello everyone and welcome back to the rather warm and dark place that is the Demon's Head. Before we get too far into this edition I'd like to make something very clear, I am predating this post. I'm writing it on Wednesday night and it will be posted Monday, most likely while I'm work at the first day of new job. However, this post isn't one that dates really matter, I just felt I wanted to be honest with you guys.

Hello everyone and welcome back to the rather warm and dark place that is the Demon's Head. Before we get too far into this edition I'd like to make something very clear, I am predating this post. I'm writing it on Wednesday night and it will be posted Monday, most likely while I'm work at the first day of new job. However, this post isn't one that dates really matter, I just felt I wanted to be honest with you guys.
This is one of those post that really didn't need a lot of prompting, in fact it's something I've been thinking about for a couple of hours tonight as I watched TV and even before while I was at work. When I left I ran into a co-worker and we started talking. He's a very intelligent man and he seemed to at least understand how the world worked. He recently found my work and gave me some praise which I won't lie made me feel good.
We started talking about a few different things, that included the future of myself and how I see the way I look at the world. It was in that moment that I realized that my version of the world, or the version I'd like to see is unlike anything that anyone in my family has ever seen.
I'd like to share a bit of family history for you right now. I grew up not poor, but we didn't have a lot of money. We lived in a run-down haphazardly put together double wide, just me, my dad, and my grandma. The world went on around us. Had something happened and I would have died for some reason, lets be honest the world would have kept spinning and no one would have thought much about it.
But we lived, we survived, and I grew up watching the world spin on around me. In 2007, I got my first Job at McDonalds two weeks before My dad ended up almost breaking his back, effectively putting him out of work for the rest of his life. It was also around this time that my mother was diagnosed with MS. Now hers' was a little more developed then most cases and it ended up putting her out of work around the 09-10 mark if I'm not mistaken.
Now I didn't write that out to get some sort of pity party, fuck all of that. I wrote it out so that you see where my mindset comes from. Because, it was in that timeframe that I realized that for the most part, those you work for, they just stop caring and want you replaced so they continue to make money. It was at the age of 17 I realized that I didn't want to be like them. I wanted to do something that meant that I would be able to live out my life enjoying what I did, and that eventually I could retire having lived my life my way.
Everything is built on a degree of normalcy and I realized how much I hated that. I realized how much I hated the idea that being normal was the way to go. I hated in 2007 and I hate it even more in 2015. The fact is that being normal is far too overrated, I have things that I want to accomplish, I'm going to continue to drive forward, move upward, and attempt to call this writing a career by early 2016. The fact is that I'm setting up for the future, I intend that there is a ton of words in my future, I hope that you guys are ready for what's going to come next. Because in a word, fuck Normalcy. No one was able to stand out by being a part of the crowd, and walking along the same path as those before you is no different.
Until the next time you want to take a trip through the gates of hell, and into the demon's head, I'm Kyle Robinson wishing you a safe trip back to the surface.
