    Let's all Make a Bomb

    And as the low aggress the high
    All you can do is sit and cry.
    You've only got yourself to blame.
    Don't try to stop me; it's too late.
    My mind's made up, this job won't wait.
    There's nothing left for me to say.


    Hey! There's no need to debate;
    It's time to designate your fate!
    Take the M out of M.A.D.:
    Let's all make a bomb!

    Take one-hundred scientists or more
    Placed in a room, and lock the door;
    Let them confer for half their lives.
    Unlock the door, go in and see
    What they have made for you and me:
    A brand new toy to idolise.

    Although the war has just begun
    Ignore the sirens, let's have fun;
    Put on your best, go out in style!
    And though our future's looking black,
    We'll go downtown and join the pack:
    Let's celebrate and vapourise!

    Hey! There's no need to debate;
    It's time to designate your fate!
    Take the M out of M.A.D.:
    Let's all make a bomb!

    *Chorus repeat ... into oblivion.*

    Rather than rejoice in his remarkable courage to face his illness head-on with the utilisation of all possible resources he can muster from friends, family, The System, and his self, the outside network of those souls relegated to the outer stem of cognisance and consciousness offer him little except unintended social stigma: coupled with obscure and misguided expressions of love which prove rare at best. Instead they offer him a great deal of indifference and criticism which often fails to do anything but illuminate his own difficulties in managing his perpetuated self-deprecation that he compounds daily and expresses to the outsiders as a bitingly dark humour far too keen and precise for those souls to fully grasp. Still, he forgives them, offering them an understanding often denied to himself and reinforced by his personal conviction that precision was never really highly valued an aspiration to persevere within the human stream of consciousness. Saddest of all he feels that should they try even half as hard as he does everyday to deal with his illness, they would make remarkable discoveries not only about his own misunderstood livelihood: but that of their own.

    nAhOtMiNuTe (2:33:35 AM): Whether you ultimately find meaning in the "pain eclipsed by joy," The Color Purple is a good enough film and worth checking out. It is unquestionably overwrought, but it is a truly lovely film with a lot of emotion in it. The meaning of all that emotion is unfortunately still up for grabs.
    nAhOtMiNuTe (2:34:12 AM): i find much more meaning in tom cruise clenching onto a TGV at 180 mph
    La Barbacane 2 (2:34:36 AM): well critics are not always right
    nAhOtMiNuTe (2:34:46 AM): he didn't get the meaning.
    nAhOtMiNuTe (2:34:52 AM): that just shows he's an idiot.
    La Barbacane 2 (2:34:59 AM): tom will be doing wonderful things in War of teh worlds...
    nAhOtMiNuTe (2:35:04 AM): yes
    nAhOtMiNuTe (2:35:10 AM): and banging 16 year old girls all the while
    nAhOtMiNuTe (2:35:29 AM): he's the next bob crane
    nAhOtMiNuTe (2:36:21 AM): shoot him.
    La Barbacane 2 (2:36:37 AM): brb
    nAhOtMiNuTe (2:36:38 AM): maybe i might find some meaning in that.

    I would like to recount for you a rather fetching Wal-Mart tale; people in discount and grocery stores always amaze me. There was a family of overweight, young, african-american women in the women's clothes section toward the front of the store. They were looking at girls dresses. One of the women went behind the nearest store display to the other side of the women's department while the other looked-by-touching the cute little girls clothes. Suddenly I hear her belt out, "Marie... MARIE!!!!" Marie, I assume, comes strolling casually from behind the display. The woman with the big mouth holds up a frilly, pink dress asking, "style?" Then switches to a more conservative girl's dress that is yellow with flowers and begs, "or substance?" She proceeds to hold up each dress, alternating in that fashion. Marie answers, "Oh definitely style, girl."

    Thirty seconds or so later the girl for whom they are shopping, possibly for Sunday churchwear, appears from behind this same store display with chocolate all around her face emanating from a half-eaten Cadbury chocolate Easter egg. The nameless woman who is probably the girl's mother asks, "Where did you get that!?" in an accusatory tone.

    The little girls stammers, "I just, I, I ..."-

    "Cause I want some," the woman finishes her sentence so gingerly as to enhance her perfect comedic timing.

    That was the most amusing trip to Wal-Mart I've ever had, ranking up there with the time I went with Randy (his friends call him Randa) to buy fish and inadvertantly found a dog breed handbook with a shih-tzu that remarkably resembled Britney Spears.

    If there's one thing I would like to know at the moment, where was Lynda Wonder Woman Carter during the whole DC Sniper affair? The lazy trollop lives a stone's throw away in Potomac. You think the least she could do is deflect a few bullets off of her golden bracelets or something. I mean, come on.

    Evidence of greater meaning of existence remains as cryptic as it ever was in recorded human history. Some will continue to look for it in books, and some will keep looking upward waiting for the day that the answers will descend upon them from heaven. Until that time comes, or if it comes at all, many of those people will be sorely disappointed and perhaps even a tad bitter that so much of their searching has offered them so little. Yet they will still chide and ridicule others for not sharing in their explanations of their own derived meaning. Some of us also keep looking up, but in another manner. Programs like NASA and SETI purport that the scientific method is the answer, treating meaning as if it were a 9 to 5 job. True, it does answer many questions: but is that all there is? Development of theories to answer questions of meaning? The more we discover, the more we learn of our own existence the more new questions about our discoveries we have still to satisfactorally answer. And yet conversely we feel less and less connected to one another all of the time, regardless if we take a journey that is up, out, and beyond or one that is harnessed within ourselves. We're made up of the same elements as heavenly bodies, you know. And whatever your beliefs, you've got a lot of time to kill here on earth. We preach to the lost and desperate all the while knowing that we ourselves actually know so little.

    And then there are people like me who go insane thinking about all of this. I perceive life as byzantine and lacking purpose or meaning, so despite this I have attempted to somehow improve my world, my reality as I perceive it. Much to my surprise, so far there is no one else who sees that reality; they have their own to contend with. Not so removed from people like me are those that seek this 'meaning' in other people. I would like to hear the story of anyone who has found it; they are very lucky if they ever do. I think I read in a Mitch Albom novel that learning how to die means learning how to live. If that is so, the sad truth about this statement is that we must spend so much of our time living thinking about death; but this in fact is exactly what I do. And despite the fact that I read that in a book, I've never met another living soul who sees life, or death, quite the same as I.

    And even if we are not alone in this universe, be our extra-terrestrial neighbors elusive aliens, angels, or God, at least for the time being and in our own separate lives on this planet we are all alone.

    As most of you have noticed, I've not a g*d-damned thing to say in posts. This is no accident of course. My life could not possibly be anymore more boring or unfulfilling unless a tsunami came and devastated the eastern seaboard. That is the only way things could be worse. We've got assloads of snowfall coming our way and I don't think I have very much food. Of course, I would go buy some but I haven't a nickel to my name right now.

    I think this is why I post nothing of consequence; lately my entries have just been bitching.

    I suppose I should brush my teeth, but I feel so lazy I don't even want to do that. I should also do dishes, vacuum, take out trash, bathe. Those things people take for granted in so much as they can actually make themselves do them.

    I, however, cannot.

    That is all.

    The Indecency!
    What colour are my eyes???



    Yoohoo, down here! Just making a point in posting this. It's a naked man. This ad was banned all over the place because of his nakedness. I just wanted to voice my disgust with people, particularly parents, who are against an ad and feel it should be censored while many of them let their children play video games shooting people to death and giggle at the pools of blood and goo. Well, there's no goo here; there's only the potential for it.

    Move along.

    By the way, it was a warm day today! 22 degrees Celsius. (70 something Fahrenheit) But I don't think it broke any records.

    I get up again... over and over!
    Tonight after having had issues with the self-check out counter of ACME supermarkets I was sitting in traffic at a red light. I had the windows down without realising it and was listening to whatever cassette tape was in the stereo, because my mp3 player had jammed and needed to be reset. I did not have a paperclip handy, so this had to wait. I then noticed that the three people in the car to my right were staring at me. Why? I thought. And without realising it, I had had the windows down blaring Madonna's "Over and Over" from her Like a Virgin album. And I figured, since they are already staring and making fun of me I will just crank it up and let the bass annoy them. That it did, thanks to the 1000 watt amp with subwoover I had installed.

    And I learned something from this, kiddies. One is only as cool as one's cassette tape collection.

    You think about that.

    I am disappointed. Life is disappointing.

    Often, you think one thing will happen. And then another thing happens. Or sometimes, the complete opposite of what you had anticipated happens.

    And that isn't ironic; that is just fuckery.

    Current Mood: crushed
