Quote of the Year














Yesterday is history.  Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift. That is why they call it "the present."

Don't let anyone know you are in IT and can "fix" computers.

With my wonderful parents being the sole exception and with the horrific experiences it has brought thus far, I have learned to never let anyone know I have professional level knowledge with computers or anything technology related. This funny link to a comic shows you exactly why. It's too perfect.

The Great Divide



The Great Divide

I saw the city burn all night long (in the great divide)
Who would’ve thought we would here that song (hear it so many times)
All along I knew you would know
Searching for truth as we’re dyeing slow (in a toxic head of smoke)
No one could forget that sound

Glued to the TV now every night
Suits all keep talking but something’s not right (and I’m tired of all these lies)
Watching our future just crash to the ground
The age of innocence took a taxi out of town (in white powder and ashes)
No one could forget that sound

Lining your pockets with every last breath
You think that it’s over but we never forget (no we never forget)
Sinking so deep now and the secrets are kept
Sinking so deep until nothing is left (except a barbed wire fence)
No one could forget that sound

It’s a death roll
It’s a final blow
 They rush to bury it all
Because they want your eyes closed

The first human to live to 1000 years old is alive today.

Due to the explosion of technology and science in the last 30 years, a lot of new doors have opened for the future. A few of the most important sciences right now happen to be nanotechnology, biotechnology, and gene therapy. Many scientists believe at the rate they are going, in 1-4 decades we will have the ability live for multiple centuries, and maybe even forever. Or until we do something stupid to kill ourselves. To me this is an amazing possibility.  Then again, to anyone that has any intelligence this is an amazing possibility. Although it's quite the contrary to certain religious groups that retain serious power in our current world. It is against their best interests and they will do anything they can to disrupt these breakthroughs from happening. Remember Bush and Stem Cell Research?  The reason is obvious, most religions need death and sickness to be necessary, and lets face it, fear of death, poor health, and lower economic conditions are 90 percent of their fan base. Without these situations, they would have a real marketing problem.  As science and technology figures out how to rid us of these problems get ready because there will be a big divide happening in the near future. In one corner the religious right, a primitive people that doesn't believe in the "unnatural advancement of humanity," and in the other corner the people who will get to outlive those morons by 900 years. It's obvious to me what side I'm going to be on. How about you?

Hello Helicopter

Hello helicopter
You can take me far away
I know you’re a monster
But I love you anyway
You take all the credit
Then abruptly fade away
I wish you’d stay

Hello helicopter
Let me grab on and fly away
This is my final offer
Though I’ll change it anyway
You put me on credit
Help me fix all of my mistakes
I wish you’d stay

Cosmosis

The leaves they fall
And disintegrate
Sometimes life is just
Wrapped up in a cake

Round and round
The spinning cycle goes
Like your favorite shirt
Or a rodeo

Drops of rain
That shirt gets old and frayed
The earth gets wet
A simple serenade

Your demons packed in a box
It’s best if no one got hurt
The best ones all get away
One day we’ll all turn to dirt

Just like those leaves did before
And that box will open back up
Into the universe we know
Infinite miles we join the unified glow

if my body is the shell of a book
my heart beats the pages
life's collection of phrases
conscious graduation space station

if my body is a shell
set me free
take my soul
plant it like a seed
