Hi, Thwack!
It took me a minute to recognize you without the uniform.

Congrats on your new life and I'm really glad you're home all safe and sound.
Looking forward to the upcoming website updates, and you know I'll be happy to read anything you write.

[Rev Thwack]

well, most likely going to dump the book that was going to be on my father... the more I started thinking about him and trying to remember stuff dealing with him, the more I got pissed off and wanted nothing to do with him. I should get the first chapter in my book done in the next few days and have it sent out to the three of you by new years. Thanks guys, and it's good to be back.

Sometimes in your life you just have to give up. You spend so much of your life fighting for things that just don't matter, never really getting anywhere because as soon as you manage to accomplish some sort of landmark you had set, you turn around and find yourself another one. You managed to find that perfect job, now if you could only get that raise and promotion. You bought that house you had always been wanting, but you think that it would look better if you repainted it... maby you could also add on a room or two... then there is that house you saw a few blocks over that would be great to get. You've got a nice car, but you figure that maby in a year or two you can trade it in on one of those foreign luxury imports you've had your eye on.

This is how we live our lives, constantly in search of the next hot new thing, and if you don't know what that is, just turn on your tv... the companies are happy to tell you. The basketball star who won the big game last night is on there, more than happy to tell you how having that new 67 inch plasma tv with the built in theater speakers helped him beat out the competiton. There is the french model, who assures you that if you buy the brand of clothing he wears that scantly clad women will flock to you, offering their loyalty and their body. A few channels over you can listen to the bodybuilder tell how a piece of equipment featuring quadra-action resistance and selectable load levels allowed him to loose 200 pounds and become the man he is today. It's so simple. No need to think about it or make decisions, all you have to do is listen and order these items that will make your life infinatly better than it is now.

All of this movement.... the constant path of progress. You sit and try to go forward because it's the only viable option. You know that you have to keep moving, because if you don't then you are just sitting stagnant, doing nothing but waiting for the inevitable end. You have to keep moving, the progress shows you are alive... not doing so would just be accepting death. You don't just think this, you know it's true. It's the way things have always been... you've seen it and been taught it your whole life.

That was how I lived... just like everyone else. I was just another mindless drone amongst the masses... a sheep playing my good little part in following the rest of the heard. It's funny though, what you can learn when then programing scociety has filled you with starts to fall apart. That's when you will start to realize that life isn't about playing by their rules, but by playing your own game. Then you realize that it's ok if you don't have that luxuary car, live in a small, run down apartment building, don't even own a tv, and work small odd jobs on a temporary basis. Then you are free to make real progress. Then you can shake things up and have an impact on the world around you. It's then that you can say "I am a sentient human being, outside the system, and I'm about to show you things you never before thought possible" while standing on top of a building, naked and holding a severed cow head in one hand and a picture of Jesus smoking a joint with buddah in the other.

Thwack! :P  Where the hell have you been?
Nevermind....I'm glad you're back.
This is how I'm always going to picture you now, you know.

Shhh.

Don't let the conservatives hear you say this, you heretic.

Hip, Hip, HURRAY, Hip, Hip, HURRAY, now you have to burn the blinders, when the light gets too bright, you may be tempted to put them back on.  The only way out is through, and you made it through, congrats.

bump.

regarding the OP: it is a testament to modern social programming that although nothing makes sense, the one thing my brain keeps flagging as "a little off" is that a 90-something year-old woman is referred to as "beautiful."

Troof. I wondered if I had misread it or something.
