uXu interview with Hedge
Hello Hedge, how old are you?
Older than GNN, younger than Chief.
Do you write for kicks or for any other reason?
Writing is something intrinsically good. I.e. it should only be undertaken
for its own sake. Otherwise, you will end up writing crap that you don't
feel for, or don't enjoy. So, shortly, I write for the sake of writing.
If I manage to learn someone something in the meantime, that's fine.
What do you enjoy doing the most?
Oh, I won't tell you that. It's rated X.
Did you enjoy your school years?
Only fools and narrow-minded people will "enjoy" being placed
in a pedogogical strait-jacket for several years. I have nothing against
learning, but learning is not the same thing as going to school. It's like
saying that sleeping is the same thing as going to bed, if you know what
I mean.
"The system" is to you, what ...?
That concept is often misused by ignorant people. People love to blame
something they call "the system," but they don't know what it
is. "The system" is a bad excuse for not knowing on what or on
who you're angry. It's a golden devil for the confused.
How would you describe a personality you like?
Long legs, blonde hair, well-developed lungs and no brain.
What does it take to make you hate someone?
I try to avoid hating people. Hate is a feeling that you will have
a hard time to get rid of. But I'm only human, of course some people really
pisses me off. Ignorance, self-occupation or just common unfriendliness
can make me use my fists now and then.
What do you think about the police?
Let me quote the Geto Boys: "Police brutality is now a formality,
they kick our asses and we're paying their salary!"
Your thoughts about the Internet?
I have several thoughts on that subject. Unfortunately, I don't have
the time to present all of them here. However, I can reveal that I think
those people who believe that Internet is just some point-and-click WWW-shit
ought to do something else than occupy the bandwidth. It's like spreading
toys and children all over a highway. It jams the traffic.
The most important thing in your life, what is that?
To live, what else?
What would you do if you know you only hade one more day to live?
You don't want to know that. Well, at least I don't want you to know
that, because then I'd end up in the asylum right away.
Do you have any more words of wisdom to the readers of uXu?
The above is enough for now. Remember to stay in touch with the ones
you care about.
