Birth. School. Work. Teevee. Retire. Die.

Sigh. I think it’s one of those black cloud days. I’m worried about things in the near future and have gotten away from the life I want to live. I *completely* wasted Saturday and while I was aware of it at the time, I still couldn’t unshackle myself to do something about it. Where do these moods come from and why can’t I deal with them more appropriately?

The saying that knowledge is power is complete bullshit. Knowledge is important, but it’s not even close to power. Example: If someone is overweight and they know it, it doesn’t make them any more “powerful” to change it, if they so choose. If I know that our government is corrupt and silly, I’ve got no more power to change things. Money is power. Influence is power. Race is power. But not knowledge.

I’ve been thinking lately about taking down my website. I think a lot of the writing I did was good and at the time it served it’s purpose, but this seems to be a better outlet for frustration, ideas, etc. I want to look into an on-line picture hosting service (hopefully for free) so I can transfer the photos there and put in links when appropriate. I don’t really have to take it down, but I’d feel bad (somehow) but having it up there and not updating it. The novelty seems to have worn off, or something.

Time for lunch with Marie. Some of the best things in life are truly free.

No. Those things are just pathetic attempts at proving that you are a "success."

Success for me is accomplishing something that I can be proud...and, maybe going on a lecture tour, because I'm so smart and everyone wants to hear what I have to say. :)
