Okay, fucking Wednesday. 
trashe & I find ourselves kind of broke this month. I think it's a Xmas overspill. You need January to catch up or something. I usually don't have many monetary issues. I mean, no, I don't have enough money for all I could desire, but yes, I have plenty for what I need. This month, we're getting close to sinking below the watermark though.
I suppose it happens every year.
I'm looking forward, more and more, to the Black Heart's party. It seems everyone has a gripe about Valentine's Day and this party being the antithesis of V-day, it'll hopefully be a welcome event. I do believe so.
I was thinking about how much I enjoy hosting parties today. By my nature, I'm rather non-participatory, but hosting a party I find to be pretty positive.
So, I hope a lot of people find a little refuge from a silly holiday with us, and that I might indulge in helping you find this little bit of respite.
Otherwise, nothing going on this week besides lots of diffirent work stuff (work & school).
The DirectTV Terd came after 7 last evening. He was supposed to be there between 1 and 5.
I think if I hadn't made a phone call around 4:45, the fucker would never had showed. And truthfully, he didn't even fix the issue. The issue being, the guy who installed the dish, stuck it on a tin pipe on the roof. Acting as a sail on a weak piece of metal, the whole pipe bent (big windstorm from last Tuesday). The guy lastnight didn't actually fix this. He just realigned the dish and told me I ought to move it.
There's service for you.
I don't know if it's because I've been reading the Foundation series by Asimov or not, but I have a strong feeling the world and humanity is in a steep decline.
I wonder if it's not directly related to our reliance on machines to do most of our organizing and thinking for us, and I wonder what it will mean, if it's true.....?
There's a guy named Lockwood who put forth the Gaia Theory of our world. In a nutshell, the whole world acts as an organism (not a sentient one though), and it has the ability to adjust itself dynamically. Something like that.
Anyways, this guy just put forth a theory the world is about to descend into chaos. He suggests printing all scientific knowledge on durable, lasting papers for the future rebuilding to come. He assumes the world will drop into a war-lord culture.
I wonder.
I don't take Lockwood without a lot of doubt, but there's something to the Gaia theory and well, who knows, maybe we are slipping into barbarian mode.
I mean, Philly is a shining example of decay. The people here follow suit. They fester and decay along with all the rotting buildings it seems.
Well, maybe I'm kind of excited about this new warlordism. I am rather cynical.
Plus, a little struggle and death and mayhem may be all we need to continue to move on as a species (or die, whichever...).
What ya'll think?
Alrighty...onward into oblivion!

hey did you wanna go to the Gaiman thing tonight at temple? i'd go if you wanna.
mr_alfa:
Every theory about the decay of humanity holds some truth. Will it be soon or will it take place where we live? I am not sure. Most likely it will happen well after we are both dead and have become fertalizer. But it would be quite an adventure to move from our current lived into a culture of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.
