I would like to report, with much great joy, and consternation [not to me], that Mephisto is alive and well.

Mephisto has not left the building. He never did. He is still here by my side, more benign and less aggressive than the Mephisto of yore. He tells me that he is too tired of all that aggro <shrug>, and simply wants to kick back, enjoy his life and have a laugh. Mephisto’s wicked sense of humour which he gets from me, is in fine form just ask Soul Sister. I think she has fallen hard for him!

He tells me that the energy required to bray with donkeys, converse with idiots, and continually rebut lies that are perpetuated about Deafness and disability, is too draining. But I didn’t think so at the time, I was raring to go spit chips and snarl, so I allowed him, Mephisto, to possess my body and give free reign to his acerbic wit and aggression.

It was a deliberate act on my part, allowing Mephisto to voice and express the aggression and acerbic wit that lay dormant within me. My modus operandi was to show Hearing people that Deaf people can match their wit and intelligence, word for word, thought for thought, dagger for dagger, and spit for spit!

I laughed as Mephisto’s eyes lit up, when he baited people just to watch them stumble. I split my sides watching Mephisto scour the dictionaries and thesauruses to give his writings a more literary bent. I even helped him make up words that did not exist, but were linguistically or grammatically correct. Don’t ask me to quote you any, I could find them if I tried, but I can’t be arsed. They are there; all you gotta do is read.

I haven’t been blogging as much of late.  With my internal metamorphosis, and the loss of interest in writing purely about Deaf shit, I just cannot muster the energy to counteract the bullshit that cloaks a lot of writings about deafness and Deafness. Nor can I be arsed to deal summarily with the attitudes of many of the bloggers and writers out there, whose views on deafness are shaped by nothing more than opinion, content to wallow in a thinking that demands nothing more of them, than for them to respond to an idea with more ideas, based on nothing but ideas. But as you know, once a person has an opinion, it is sacrosanct.

No one really has anything new to say about Deafness. That is not strictly true. Research in Deaf Studies [social and cultural] are enlightening, but otherwise it is the same flatulating [there's a new word for ya] bullshit  about communication methods, how we are all the same in spite of the rejection of social and cultural model of deafness,  and how happy a deaf person would be if they could just speak and hear! Sure, now fuck me dead!

Anyway, blag, blag, blag, but Mephisto and I are a happy couple now. It is a great feeling not to be rent with so much aggro.  That’s all I wanted to say really.
