I once read a news report about researchers that had found a way to keep roses growing all year long. They did so by essentially replicating the conditions in which roses bloom, and kept them in those conditions.

I have reached a point where I am under a similar...state. I have compelled myself to always work on evolving myself into a new and better incarnation....

Movie review: Constantine (Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz)

- Rachel Weisz is hot.
- Keanu Reeves is a dork, though he pulls off the character well from time to time.
- Mediocre plot.
- If you liked stuff like Prophecy (Christopher Walken), you'll dig this. It's not as good as the former, but it passes muster.

Ideally, this should have come out during the summer season...it's...

Duran Duran put on a fucking badass show tonight....I almost wept when they played "Ordinary World"...and Simon LeBon is hotter than any guy has a right to be (except maybe Sean Connery when he was younger).

"I've seen things...you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've seen C-beams...glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those...memories lost, like tears in the rain."

It's been a while since I last updated. I appear to have gotten myself stuck in something of a rut: I get up, I go to work,...

I stood at the window
looking down at the street
watching the world go by.

Cars move around
people move around
One day the cars are different
The next the people are.

I stood at the window
fiddling with my longbeard
watching the world go by.

I wonder if writing hideous poetry is sort of like relieving mental constipation for me...

The Good...
I'm in my own apt now. I can walk around naked and do whatever I want without feeling like I'm breaking my facade (living with family will do that to you...and 90% of the time, most people put on facades with their families to varying degrees). I feel free, and independent again.

The Bad...
Work has taken a severe nosedive in the past...

I rang in the New Year by being cold, hungry, and alone, watching several different fireworks displays from a long-ish distance...and now I am severely inebriated. Happy fragging New Year.

Time for a political entry...

WP article (may need reg)

Okwe are 400+ BILLION dollars in debt. And now Der Shrub and his Merry Band of Yes Men want to fund their privatization of Social Security by issuing more debt? Is there something Im missing here that doesnt make this idea totally fucking stupid? The currency markets are already wavering on the use of the...

Incoming theory...tickling at the back of my mind...

I used to think that confidence was balance. The balance between arrogance and humility. I realize now that this is true, but it's ultimately irrelevant. Kinda like talking about politics and saying, "people suck". That's (subjectively) true, but it misses the point. In the example, the point of politics is (theoretically) to help us all move past...
