what’s going on in the world today? it feels like there’s a new disaster every other day, we’ve moved from hurricanes to earthquakes. although there was that hurricane in the north atlantic, heading towards england that managed to baffle the scientific community. baffling the scientific community isn’t always as tough as it seems, but it’s more fun to say “baffling the scientific community”.

so with all these disasters, it really seems like somethings’s going to happen around here. it’s about time for that 9.0 earthquake to hit seattle, or for Mt. Rainier to blow up or something catastrophic. Maybe hanford could be found to have been leaking much more waste than previously thought for tha past 25 years. maybe a tidal wave could hit seattle, if it’s possible. these things seem improbable, but it’s probably going to happen soon, and more likely than not, we won’t be prepared for it. and the person who has the most water will be rich, richer than astronauts.

i haven’t been thinking much, and i wonder if it all that it’s really cracked up to be. i don’t really have time, nor really care enough to do deep thinking where i question my ideals and maybe why i did something the way that i did. but i don’t. i never even came up with any satisfactory answers to all the questions that were directed at myself. it wasn’t even the looming fact of no answers hanging over the horizon that discouraged me. you just get busy, or sick of walking in the same circle where everything leads back to the beginning, and nothing seems much different from when you remember starting. it all gets to be no big deal, especially when you want for nothing.

i feel mentally stagnant, but instead of it being the worst thing possible i probably would have thought it was a couple years ago, i came to terms with it. i can still think when i need to, but face it, how often do you really have to think to make it through the day? but if i’m mentally stagnat, why aren’t i suffering from an acute case of ennui? shouldn’t i be bored out of my skull with my prospects in life not being much better now than they will be in 200 years ? i’m wagering we’ll have the human genome unlocked before i can die of old age, so 200 years might be too little.

how does it go from questioning everything you do on a regular basis to questioning why you don’t ask questions anymore?

man, i’ll need to think about that one for a bit.

la la la la la la laaaaaaaa

stupid blog, nothing to say, just glad that its thursday and i won’t have to work for the next two days and it’s going to be rainy and i’m going to be able to do whatever i want tomorrow!

and beer! sweet delicious beer…it’s getting to be that time of year where the dark brews come out and frolic all the way to the grocery store where i purchase them and persuade them down into my belly for a rich time of laughter. and laugh they do indeed.

there’s some happy dance going on inside my brain right now, and it is just looking for release. i’ll just ride the wave while i can, and get to work, which makes me happy as well.

i’m lucky to have such a great job while living in a pain-free, safe area area of the world, with regular food and water and a bike and car to carry me places i need to go with plentiful entertainment at every turn and countless things i can do with all the free time that i earn through my part of doing work with some of my time, and have all of my senses to appreciate everything around me and the mental capacity to fathom it at least partially.

now that’s what i’m talkin’ about.
