Most of what we do in the world is distraction from considering our mortality. Damn that neocortex!
There is nothing in this world except to have fun (after you work a bit) and not hurt anybody; the rest is just dressing. Italian and French, no doubt.
After this world? I can't know, and neither can you. But make up your mind if you can; agnostics are the heaviest drinkers.
It's going to rain. I can feel the humidity and stillness that comes before it. The storm is playing possum, hoping we'll forget he's coming.
Got a new bird cage for our two Parakeets. It's a bit larger. They can fly around a bit now. Shouldn't I get a room-sized cage?
Do they have a dreary life, caged, dependent on us for food and water? Do they wish to fly beyond their cage? Maybe they really don't. Maybe they are extraordinarily content. How can you tell the difference with Parakeets? They are fluttering behind me. But I can hear their wings on occasion making contact with the bars.
I had Chinese leftovers tonight. And the night before. They were better than last night when they were a day fresher. I can't figure out why. Maybe last night I was consumed by anticipation of basketball games and missed the taste.
Why do we keep thinking socialism is "evil." We have a hybrid system already: the Postal Service, the military, Medicaid, Medicare, Welfare, Social Security and a host of other programs are all socialist constructions. I am willing to bet that the folks who think socialism is evil are either wealthy or completely uniformed. The worst form of ignorance is the rejection of something about which you know nothing.
What did we do before toilet paper? Well, in the late 19h and early 20th centuries, we often used the ubiquitous Sears and Roebuck catalogue pages, affectionately called "Rears and Sorebutts." In other countries even today, the left hand, sans any covering, is applied. I find this hard to swallow. If true, watch out for their fast food restaurants.
