BFC brought together a lot of things I already knew into a cohesive theory of America. I used to think the world was fucked in a chaotic sense. Now I think we're systematically fucked.

Either way, I take a grim pleasure in being alive and getting to watch it all going down, even if I have to go down with it.

Side note: I liked Charleton Heston better when he was Juda Ben-Hur. In chains. Whipped repeatedly. Sweaty.

With horses.

amen to both replies

Haha. The weather has been lovely in Iowa, huh? Strange because it is almost always lovely in Tucson... it has been rainy and "cold" (below 60) the past couple of days. Heh. I guess this is to get back at me for last week when it was sunny and 80.

(for JustinXL) The reason you can't lead a skinned cat to water is because cats will not be followers, only leaders.

For whatever reason this whole "add friend" feature is beyond me. I added you. You appeared on my list twice. I clicked one to remove you and now you're totally gone. Oh, I hate my life.

Hey, I was just wandering through your pics and I was wondering if all the artsy things were things you had done.
Additionally, Mythbusters is a hella cool TV show.

This shows my archaeological nerd-itude, but one of the things that I think can never be found archaeologically is the individual. Perhaps this concept applies to our present archaeologies? Meaning that, especially in the case of other people, all we can discover are material correlates of their behaviors. We cannot explicitly know motivation or pretense outside our own. And even then... we sometimes bury our desires so deeply that we "don't know" the exact cause of our doing something. I believe it is possible for us to know ourselves... but not others.

i have to agree with your analogy, we can not see the choices made by any individual, past or present, but only the results of those choices. perhaps the only difference is that with people alive today, we may be able to reach a more concrete understanding through deep explanation directly from the individual. but i still believe that we have so many things about ourselves that we dont understand, that in most cases, even the individual in question cannot completely convey the underlying cause of their choices.

i do agree that at some point (different for everyone) we should be able to reach an understanding of ourselves. part of the problem is that i think that it is just recently (in the human evolution) that people have really wanted to understand themselves, and we dont know how to figure that out yet (as a population)

to break it down, i agree with everything you said. its a matter of degree, i think i have less faith in the knowing of oneself, than you do.

that would be my friend justin, if the bitch ever starts a journal, stop by and say hi to him

Morgan = totally rockin hot.
*rawr*

If you attempted that line on me, I would probably go back to my friends and tell them what a tool you were... unless, of course, I were totally trashed. In such a case I would likely giggle and walk away.

ok, addendum to the above, I''l just keep babblin to myself, you let me know when i get annoying.

ok so, i just took a shower, and i live in a second-story store front (actually store rear) and the water pressure is not bad.... if yer the only one in the building.

so when i'm taking a shower, and the pressure drops off, i wiggle the hot/cold lever back and forth, and completely off, and i cock my head, and like to think i can hear screams of agony thru my walls,

and it makes me SMILE

does that make me a bad person?

Haha. I wish I could hear people screaming _in_agony_ through my walls. Instead I hear people screaming in drunkenness. Not as much fun. =\
Oh well. You left a message on my journal the other day and I wanted to say hello.

bla bla
