AWAKE AND CASELESS RAMBLINGS: 94 HOURS AND COUNTING.
Why, when people die, do I get talked at as though I am the one who should be sorry for my actions? I'm the one who drops everything and works all hours to save them! There's nothing wrong with the way I treat corpses either. Most people don't care about inanimate objects and most people handle meat without reverence, and that is all a body is. Respect for the dead is one thing but respect for a body – an empty shell, an object, a husk – is stupid.
In fact caring in general is all very fine and well when you have the time and the energy and the courage, but when lives are at stake action is what is needed, not care, and I am a man of action… How much danger is it acceptable to put John in?
When you learn to ride a horse and you do show-jumping they tell you that if, as you complete a jump, you have not already locked onto the next one you are setting yourself upto lose control of the wholw course..
Eczema is hell!
It would be good if there was such a thing as 'like at first sight'. I could probably manage that at a push.
I wonder what they will do when 2012 comes and the world doesn't end like it didn't in 2000 or 2006? Push the deadline forwards to 2018? Must people always live in fear? No that's ludicrous: If any good comes from such farcical superstition it must be the realisation that nothing is permanent, and that therefore no matter what year it is or when the world is going to end we should live magnificently. That is, conduct our lives in a way that can be universally regarded as magnificent, irrespective of how pleasant or aesthetically pleasing the experience was, and regardless of anybody's personal philosophies. Shut up, brain – why tell them about feelings when the only ones worth talking about can't be expressed?
My mind is like a race car engine tearing itself to pieces because it is not connected up with the work for which it is built. Life is commonplace. Crime is commonplace.
Dark is beautiful. Frightening, dangerous places are beautiful: Humans are an embarrassment in their natural habitat going about their mundane lives with their silly little brains, but when they band together to come through a fog of fear and danger and misery they can become beautiful too.
Come quickly, thick fog, – and I shall ascend unto my rightful position.
