Every day I tell myself I'm going to do something. I'm going to stop wasting my time. Stop sinking into a little puddle of alcohol. Stop flicking through the smut sites. Stop dreaming, stop sitting stupified in front of the tv. Stop this foolish tendency of working only when some moron I dont especially like offers me money in exchange for my time. Stop running up credit card debt.

So that's the plan. The action? Ok ok ok ok....I'll go write a poem or something at least now.

My creative output lately....you're looking at it. How pathetic is that?

So how bad is the situation? How empty is the beer glass? How much like death can life feel like? How many hungry, tortured, mutilated individuals are there on the planet? How fast are the icecaps disappearing? How hard are we trying to outdo each other to prove how hard we are? How bankrupt are our institutions? How soon will we have to start eating each other to survive?

And we're off.....

There are some days when even breathing seems like too much effort, other days everything is tinged with sweet delight.

Sleep is the only thing in life that guarantees happiness. But so many of us today are happiness deprived

I, as someone once put it, is another. Just listen to yourself on tape, look at yourself on video if you have any doubt.

Read an article recently about the end of oil, the coming of peak oil, which is already here or at best just a few years off. Peak oil means that oil output reaches its peak and then starts to fall. We can't be too far off. Once that happens and demand continues to surge, we're all fucked, technically speaking. We'll have ourselves an economic crunch that will make the Great Depression look like a minor hiccough. But at least the environment will be better off. Global warming will slow down. It's probably a good thing that the oil is actually running out now that all the glaciers are melting because otherwise we'd all be fucked, technically speaking and we'd be in for a round of apparently natural but man made disasters that would make WWII look like a minor bloodletting.
