It's so frustrating because there is no way I can. I want to be, but it is not possible. Someday it might be, and that will be a vastly different day. But for now it is just an ache.
You don't know what I am talking about. No matter how well you now know me or have ever known me you will not know this.

I like to learn at least one new thing every day. Zeno's Paradoxes (another link) Or, as in this case, at least refresh my memory of cool things. I also learned about hypercomputation and generic bi-stablility. Although NOT IN CLASS. Damn school.

I wish I could find it and root it out. Maybe I could get rid of the weight in my mind. It won't stop dragging. I want to dig it out and make the dull ache go away with a sharp pain.
It will stop eventually. Then I can go on.
I always harboured the dreams and fantasies. Now I begin to see some of them fade away into something that will never happen. It's made me lost touch with all of them.
I need to catch them again.

Great art. Glenn Barr

Our move to the city is self-limiting behavior. We lose sight of the stars and the infinite expanse beyond our perception. It automatically limits our interest in expansion.
It could be one of the many causes of our turn inward and the great rise of the self in the U.S. But I am not a social psychologist.

I've been starting to look at the world in such a non-absolute way. I think part of it is John's influence.

Dinosaur was particularly relevant to me today. Dinosaur Comics: #666 (The "what about the internet?" part, not the mousey).

I've been reading The Emperor Wears No Clothes: The Authoritative Historical Record of Cannabis and the Conspiracy Against Marijuana. It makes me want to move to Canada. And I don't even smoke. It's just the attitude that pervades the U.S. The "Bible Belt" is just too big and full of too many bigots. And the crime rate comparisons are ridiculous, especially for violent crimes. It makes living in the U.S. seem almost suicidal. And when the oil runs out (because the U.S. won't stop until it runs out even if it kills the ecosystem) there will be a huge economic collapse. And unfortunatly it could take a large section of the internet with it. That could set our technological progress back a generation...
As far as GOOD news goes, I had a creme brulee at the Co-Op today and it was Divine. As in transexual. SO good.
