So I'm sitting here drunk trying to type, and watch Constintene on HBO. Keano or what ever just walked through Hell and there was like.. tornados of fire and rusty old VW buggies.. and I thought "hmm so Hell is the 60's?"

Well anyway.. if they can picture Hell, why can't I?

For me Hell is a nursing home where all I can do is sit in my room and look out the door at all the old people scooting down the hall in their wheelchair, depresed because they are all alone.

Whats your idea of Hell?

Chillin' with a bunch of older, hardcore right-wing Christians, without any humour, who insist on talking politics ALL the time, and no drugs of any type...

(Cause the drugs would just make the whole situation funny as shit.)

I don't even want to begin to imagine what Hell is like. Supposedly it is beyond mortal comprehension...and that's saying something.

Personally I don't believe in Hell, being a believer that God is a benevolent being who sooner accept a sinner into Heaven than see them suffer eternally for crimes commited in a finite existance. I somehow doubt that the multiverse is that horribly designed.

I think it'd be worse to be able to hear, see, and be aware of things going on around, people you know going about their lives, you see it all but you have no ability interact with them, you're stuck in you own little place, where nobody can see you or hear you, but you are never able to tear yourself away from seeing the people you know live their lives without you.

Hell, Cuba, and the Devil is Fidel, you asked?. LOL, and I am not LOL, LOL.

Since this is NS Hell,

Fidel dies and goes to heaven. When he gets there, St. Peter tells him that he is not on the list and that no way, no how, does he belong in heaven. Fidel must go to hell.

So Fidel goes to hell where Satan gives him a hearty welcome and tells him to make himself at home.

Then Fidel notices that he left his luggage in heaven and tells Satan, who says, "No hay problema, I'll send a couple of little devils to get your stuff."

When the little devils get to heaven they find the gates are locked - St.Peter is having lunch - and they start debating what to do.

Finally, one little devil comes up with the idea that they should go over the wall and get the luggage.

As they are climbing the wall, two little angels see them, and one angel says to the other, "My goodness!

Fidel has been in hell no more than ten minutes and we're already getting refugees!"

LOL.

Hell is Phil Collins playing "In the Air tonight" on eternal loop. No, no, "Another day in Paradise". Hell is being homeless and having "Another day in Paradise" eternally played through giant speakers so you can hear this multi-millionaire empathising with your plight through the walls of your cardboard box.

Hell is a state of mind where one has no other thoughts than to destroy one's self and everything around them. The more that gets destroyed, the greater the feeling of loss becomes and the only way to express that feeling of loss is to destroy more.
