Here’s  a write-up I did in response to one of my many blog readers.   Since he pointed out the absence of anything on my About page, I thought it fitting to use this here:

Why I blog and what this site is about:

Dear Joey:

The purpose of the website as I created it, is to praise human accomplishment and to mock human non-accomplishment — it depends on the achievement.

ACCOMPLISHMENT

As far as being “so terrible” TheDamienZone never tries, as does The Onion, to be too hip for the room. It never mocks cancer or other horrific human tragedy under the guise of “it’s only a joke” and thus arousing publicity and the subsequent website hits with which many malicious bloggers are rewarded. If it makes it easier for you, this site is more like performance art as satire — but I don’t try to impress anyone. Most of it is very silly, but it’s silly solely to mock the silliness of the people and events about which I write.

Often I inform about serious issues, but almost always there is an angle of humor, and people who assume that this stuff must be written by a young weirdo or a mentally handicapped person are often pretty dumb. The fact that you can’t figure it out is ample testament to the fact that you are inherently a very perceptive person.

I would suggest that you read a bunch of the articles and notice that there are some absurdities inherent to all of them. I would suggest the early live action cartoons of Sarah Palin I made where she talks about Snooki and Jersey Shore and gay Guidos. Kindly note, however, that I never mock Mrs. Palin.   I don’t do that — it’s corny and played out — but it keeps The Onion in business — so good for them.

I deplore overt atheism because I think that overt atheists are social misfits, and the website reflects that. I am not a religious person and I don’t care what people believe, but atheism is a WORD and not a religion. Atheists, however, treat it as though it were a religion — the final irony. Their god is that there is no god.. That annoys me more than anything. I do not believe in fairies which is why I don’t talk about them. I don’t make signs with red lines slashed through fairies and I do not walk in protest marches against fairies. I wish atheists (I refuse to capitalize the word) would treat their WORD like a word — the way I treat fairies.

Of course the drawings and pics are childish — they are meant to be. Do you think that I am going to sit around all day and properly illustrate dopey stories about dopey people?

NON-ACCOMPLISHMENT

NON-ACCOMPLISHMENT

The Casey Anthony story which brought you to me, is written so as to reveal the hidden truths about the story while, at the same time, telling the story as it appears in the press. I think I provide a public service when I do things like that. I don’t say it because I am angry or bitter or retarded or unfunny — I say it because somebody will read it and think, “You know something, he’s right.”

There is a recent story I did about Justin Bieber dating Salena Gomez, but the internet sites who initially carried the story, in an attempt to get hits from the almighty God Google, insisted on just using the name Salena — I took this as being the dead Tejano singer Salena — which was of course the intent of the websites. You see, they moved up the ladder of Google visibillity by talking about Justin Bieber and “Salena” knowing that there are two Salenas who get search hits — so I ran with that and wrote a story about how Justin Bieber must be dating a dead Latina singer. The internet bloggers overall deserved to be mocked for that and I was the guy who did it — was it funny? Who knows? I thought so.

Anyway, some of the articles are very funny, and the fact that this site does very well yet seems to be despised by high-brow people, is proof that I do make people laugh and think. I do not, however, laugh at animal abuse or neglect.

Occasionally I break a news item — namely the black bear hoax in New Jersey which received tens of thousands of web visitors and supporters.

This is a hobby wrought from love, frustration, anger, social need and silliness — and I am special.

99% of people start blogs and then write a few uninteresting things and then forget about it because they lack the focus and especially the creativity.   I started TheDamienZone one year ago and it just keeps growing and growing and growing.  I’ve even received speaking engagement invites from TV execs for  some of my imaginary ‘experts” — imagine that?  I have created imaginary experts in every field and twice they have received invitations to discuss their opinions on  on national TV!   Do you know anyone who can do that?  I had to reply and say that so and so was not available because of prior commitments.

In closing I would say that people who think I am mentally challenged or childish, are probably REALLY dumb. I mean, a story about Snooki being an alien at area 51 is nutty, but when that story has hidden truths therein that go unnoticed by the reader, we’re talking about some major idiots — or better yet — people who think they are really cool and hip and above all of this.

Damien ( that is my real name)
