*Something semi important:
Someone once said to me “you have an amazing way of
making every topic of conversation about yourself” ....
and it broke my heart. The truth hurts, so they say.
I am not a stupid person and I am pretty intuitive when
it comes to people’s vibes. I can get why a lot of people dislike me. They
think I’m over the top, self absorbed, foolish, a childlike heart...
I get it, it’s things people think that I have thought of
my self already. But I am who I am and I can’t change. I’m trying to be a
decent human but it’s hard and I’m fairly shit at things that take a lot of
work and time. It might look like I’m confident But in honesty I’m actually
very insecure. Like, heaps heaps insecure.
I just want people to like me and people who don’t like
me I want to fuck them up with extreme violence. It’s a solid formula for self
destruction. And it hasent work in the long run but I’ve stuck with it.
Five or so years ago I tried to make amends for all my
selfish vain and narcissistic ways and started a little web site called horror
sleaze and trash. I was modelling the premise of the whole shebang on the
Wayne’s world theorem of “if you build it they will come”. And come they did. I
tried to make amends but I became more selfish. I tried to open up but I became
more introverted and destructive. I tried to make a platform for people but I
just made it more more more more more about me...
In the short high life that HST lived we achieved some
amazing things.
We rubbed shoulders with some of the most respected
people the underground art game was housing, we hosted some of the most
original and profound adult porn stars and cam girls the internet could fuck
with. We tore a whole lot of boundaries down. We hosted countless (in the
thousands) of poets and flash fiction writers; people other sites wouldn’t
publish - I fucking pushed it all. I gave everyone a chance to speak... but in
doing that, like a total wanker, I also made it very much about my self.
So it’s not with out a heavy heart I say this, because
it’s always hard letting go of something when you have actually spent a heap of
time and passion making live;
But truth is I’m getting old. I’m tired. Im not a wild
little young sick-cunt who doesn’t give a fuck about the our come of his
actions like I used to be . I’m sick of chasing credibility. I’m over trying to
be relevant. If I’m a fading then let that be the course. It’s time to suck up
the situation and eat my hat. I don’t have time for that madness anymore. I’m a
dad. Im still the same Ben I always was but I’m different. I don’t have the
same desires to be know or loved by strangers. I got other shit I need to do.
I feel like I have tried to make an impact and wether it
hit home or not at least I made a fucking attempt at something fresh and
honest. So With our making it about me any further HST is now in the faithful
and trust worthy hands of Mr Authur Graham. He has brought the hustle to the
old fire with a swarm in the last month he’s been around with new HST GIRLS and
the publication of the HST quaterly and I know my brain child of madness will
be left in the capable hands of someone who is as passionate and dedicated to
the pursuit of grit, truth, realism and subversion as I have been.
Baby, I say this cause I mean it, don’t be sad that it’s
over - be happy it happened. Viva the free press! Viva the artists! VIVA THE
FUCKING FREE WORLD!
