Hello again, my devoted and loving fans (snicker). Been away for some time, but I promise to visit my meager but growing list of friends websites, as you might expect of any acquaintence with whom you felt some chemistry and might enjoy a closer friendship, if not for the fact that he gets periodically and regularly lost in the labyrinthine halls of LIFE! Finally putting...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 
I'm 32, everybody, but for one blissful night this weekend, you could've reversed those numbers, because everything was just that perfect. Worked all day, which was a drag, but some kindly ones somehow learned my dark secret and cleverly lured me into an empty room save a birthday cupcake and several tone-deaf nurses. A work-sponsored costume party also went well, if only to find satisfaction...

HG Wells Time Machine spent a lot of time off its shelf and bookmarked near my bed this week, so I share some wisdom of the ages:
"It is a law of nature we overlook, that intellectual versatility is the compensation for change, danger, and trouble. An animal perfectly in harmony with its environment is a perfect mechanism. Nature never appeals to inteligence until habit...

Holy Syncretism, Batman! Is this caveman for real? While some may argue the viability of socialism, I had thought fascism was almost not up for debate as a viable alternative. If little green men truly did exist and posed a threat to humanity, I would see their common threat as a uniting factor to bridge ethnic, cultural, or religious divides, not as an excuse for validating eugenics and euthanasia. Although a good point is raised. HG Wells is interested in exploring the possibilities of the seperation of wealth and priveleges among the classes, and what might happen when habit and instinct drown out the need for intelligence. In the Time Machine, the descendents of the upper classes have essentially become cattle for the subterranean-evolved lower class Morlocks. The unchanging upper classes were doomed to this fate when cultural and intellectual stagnation made thinking obsolete, so the rise of a predator in the Morlocks made them ironically indefensible. I think I do agree with the writer above--it is not yet too late for our species. I do not agree that an emergence of a predator on humanity or adoption of fascist doctrine is the way to do it. 
alistairmather:
why do people assume eugenics is fascist? eugenics is not about allowing a specific "race" to flourish while discounting all other "lower races", its about letting those most capable through genetic heritage and proven survival insure that future generations will also be more likely to bear these traits.
eugnics is natural, it is survival of the fittest: those most adaptable and adapted to the conditions of existing. some crazy asshole sixty years ago gets associated with a brilliant and natural idea that had existed for decades before he came along and suddenly something is fascist. be not a slave to the accepted memes of history, think and rationalize for yourself.
we breed cattle, dogs, plants, everything around us to be stronger or fitter or prettier or tastier and this is seen as normal, acceptable, and oft times beneficial, yet if we even think to apply a similar policy to ourselves we are horrified and offended. we are merely animals too, intelligence does not make us any better or more moral then anything else.
and despite our claims, our advances have done very little to prepare our species to survive the future.

Allright true believers, this time gastax lets a profound Argentine do the talking. Ernesto Sabato is the name and causing heart palpitations in women is his game:
Martin looked at her in silence, saddened by the shadows that kept forever stirring behind certain of Alejandra's phrases.
But then those thoughts were swept away like leaves before a violent wind. And as they clutched each other...

I won't stop following you
now help me pray for
the death of everything new
then we'll fly farther
cause you're my girl
and that's alright
if you sting me
I won't mind
we'll stop to rest on the
moon and we'll make a fire
I'll steal a carcass for you
then feed off the virus
cause you're my girl
and that's alright
if you sting me
I won't mind
now look at em
look at em now
look at em sting
I see a red light in June
and I hear crying
you turn newborn baby blue
now we're all the virus

Hey Sportsfans: Anyone accidentally stumbling onto my board has hit the jackpot. Check out this veritable cornucopia of innuendo, courtesy of Herman Melville:

Yeah, I know both those bands, personally actually.
But yeah, i'd be willing to help you out with a project if needed, and it's really cool to have you back! I want details of tangoing in Buenos Aires!
And when I get over this Mongolian DeathFlu from hell I'll see when I can come out and play.

Continuing on the ex-girlfriend thread, I am about to have lunch with an ex-ex-girlfriend (not a double negative, more like two girlfriends ago, like an ex-girlfriend once removed, or a previous future-ex-Mrs. Tax, but I digress).
About three years ago, I allowed this girl to send my life into a self-pitying tailspin for about 6 months, and I haven't seen her again in that time....

Yep. She was a no-show. Left a message on my cellular just minutes after typing the above. So we are forever left to conjecture the probable outcome. I know what I think...

I have a replica tom baker era dr. who scarf. and I totally missed naperville and ended up close to decatur. I suck at driving at night.
Just finished talking with the ex-grrl. 
These sort of confrontations usually involve lots of mutual misunderstanding and unnecessary emotional outbursts, but this one was different. To set it up for you (random reader), after a couple years dating this girl, I developed a laundry list of "irreparable differences," and in spite of a disposition that is patience to a fault, I finally gave up.

Much as I'd like to see Eddie Izzard when he comes to Chicago, I most likely won't be able to because Chicago is a day's drive from here and I work the nights he's there. That's the closest he's coming to where I am, too. 
Enjoy it if you go.
