yeah, no need to sweat over it. 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

And then some of these same people will complain about how the day is flying by, or how fast the previous year went by.

Taking it Easy is a dying art. 

I daresay it is time for a revival of that art.

The Taking It Easy Festival--sure we could organize it, but we'd rather just chill!

That would be a pleasant change from the Lifting Heavy Things For No Reason festival I've been attending. See, here's a picture from last year:

OP reminded me of the end of 1984. Haven't read it in a while, something like every revolution ever didn't really bring about any sort of drastic change. Ties into the whole monkeys flinging shit 'cause that's what monkeys do.  :cheers:

Fuck it, I'm going to fight cus that's what Jesus would have done.
- So the New World Order does not actually exist?
- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

10/10 and spot on with the rant.  Especially the bit about INCONVENIENCE.  Society and Civilization, at least in the US, have become obsessed with speed and efficiency.  Anyone see that credit card ad that takes place in a cafeteria.  things moving like clockwork, everyone paying with plastic, until some guy pulls out some paper money.  Then everything goes to hell.  People get angry and give dirty looks.  It seems more and more people grow impatient and don't like to wait for things to happen. 

I think when we became more entrenched in fake-money (i.e. credit cards) and less in community (who needs to watch out for others when big brother is looking over our shoulder, anyway?) we sorta lost out as a post-post modern society.  Big Time.

Why does this remind me of "Festivus:  for the Rest of Us"?
