isn't it annoying when people whine about what a hard day they had... that's the first key indicator that you are dealing with a failure. especially when it comes from our part of the world... Gee i woke up had the opportunity for a nutritious breakfast... ran the tap for a while so my glass of clean water would be cold enough, then took a shit in drinking water, checked my facebook and had to go through all of these messages some of them sarcastic and i had to re-assure myself everything was OK... then i had a big lunch and threw some of it away because it was just too much food for me at that time... you get the picture.
watching the news the other day and there was some big news on what to do with the "space program"... and people were happy that space exploration will continue, with getting near an asteroid and going to mars on the radar.
I tend to be a big fan of learning to live on this planet together without destroying it as the key and most basic fundamental problem humanity faces... but that would cost money with little chance of glory.
It always amazes me that the majority of people living in "democracy" keep the people who forward the destruction of the planet in power with absolute vigor.
Irony alert... the new cell phones are "green"... which has come to mean planet friendly (apparently). Could a nuclear bomb be made with some recycled metal and then get the consumer classification "green" by the ministry of the truth and the environment branch of the economic watchdog? If the right form were filled out I'm sure it could be done.
Different topic... i was out the other night and was asked a few questions on the nature of the music business... the questioner was looking for short "sound byte" answers and i kept try to tell them that that was in fact an essay question... but then we both agreed that nobody has time to read essays anymore because they are so long and you have to remember the beginning when you get to the end... which is really too much to ask, which then in fact basically answered the question in the first place.
people just want to stand on a quote for 5 minutes and then move on to the next moment of awesomeness.
what the world taught me... be smart, get what you can and then duck... not overly community minded... like the bees who work together make little waste and perform. I guess the bees don't live long enough to get to the point where they say "fuck this shit I'm tired of building cones... I'm making ovals"... the bee that tried that shit would immediately be carried to the exit and that would be it... no trial... no nothing... that bee's carcass goes back to mother earth to start again.
funny i always think of humanity in terms of other organisms in an effort to see how "off track" we have become. anybody who disagrees with that is a fool, i say. How can Humanity willingly destroy our own natural food sources, perhaps irreversibly, and barely give a rat's ass or at least totally fail to see that that is what is happening.
so we are all totally distracted and at the end of the day our distractions are causing us grief so we whine about it. In fairness we are stuck in a shit hole system where you just have to do or be damned... and then the crazy guy on the street who is saying the world is ending is actually right but he smells bad and won't get a good night sleep on the cold streets. Which begs the question... what would that guy do if we all tore down the city and made it farmland again and worked the farm together to get the food for the winter long party... he might be walking in the field saying "those turnip seeds are cursed by the colon gods"... in which case we would need to collectively do what the bees would do and sting the shit out of that wino.
don't get me wrong... i realize that there are some flaws in tonight's ideas... anytime you try to tackle the problems of humanity on a few liters of amber ale you are sure to drive down a few one-way streets in the wrong direction.
