It is an indisputable fact that you will perish someday. Your flesh is nothing but the embodiment of transience, and someday ... whether you like it or not... you will fade away in to the chasm of the abyss.
When you finally accept this as fact, and then step back to look at the big picture... the grand scheme of things... you start to realize there is nothing to fear, but rather, the beauty of it all.
When you are dead and gone... all that will be left are your deeds. That is, what you did when you were alive. The ripples you left behind that will echo into eternity.
Imagine yourself on the edge of a pond, somewhere in the isolated country on a still morning at sunrise. Everything is still, fresh dew on the grass, and time seems to have suspended itself. Everything is motionless.
Then you toss a rock into the pond.
At first you see a splash and shortly after it sinks to the bottom, into the abyss...
but what is left over is the ripples... ... Read more ...

Love is a bitch. It grips you like a vice and drags you to the deepest deapths of an ocean of misery like the heaviest of anchors.
Just when you finally start to believe you've cleansed yourself of the plague that is love, something triggers it to come back... full force.
Lake a Pavlovian response, it swells from nowhere and knocks you off of your ass. All those feelings of pain, loss, and detachment from the entity that made you feel complete in a former life, comes rushing back to paralyze you once again.
And you were naive enough to think you could be so lucky as to escape it....
Silly human... obsession, or love (is there a difference?) never dies.
The bell that caused my dog to slobber? This song...

As I lay here flipping the channels between the three cable news networks, I've noticed several politicians making last minute stump speeches at various venues around the country. Obama in Ohio, Billy Bob Clinton here in my state stumping for Jack Conway. Biden's on another channel. Boehner is talking about how anti-establishment he is, etc.
But then it dawned on me....
Where the fuck is W.?
Where's Dick?
Why aren't they out on the stump slapping some would be congressman on the back and handing out endorsements like left over Halloween candy?
And don't give me that they're the "old" party and that the other candidates are the "new" anti-establishment group, Mitch and Boner are on the tube every five minutes talking about taking the country "back" even though they've been in congress forever. If Dubya's policies were so great, then where the fuck is he?

I just finished reading through "Rising Above the Gathering Storm, Revisited: Rapidly Approaching Category 5." Quite possibly the scariest and most depressing thing I've ever read. If you're on a sinking ship, and you know it's going down, what would you do? Exactly... I'm off to get a bottle of whiskey. Later, gents.
Some quotes from the appendix on perspectives...
"The greatest long term threat to U.S. national security is not terrorists wielding a nuclear or biological weapon, but the erosion of America's place as a leader in science and technology."
