Brain Splatter

I am trying to write more. That is just one of the things in my life that I have to accomplish more of. Writing, exercise , eating well, cleaning around the house, not being a dick; these are things I think I should work on. In other words I need to work on the stuff that everyone wants to work on and never does. Oh well, c'est la vie.

I have a whole bunch of stories that I have started that I have not finished. I am usually good at starting, I am not too bad on ending, but right there in the middle is where I get flustered. But like I said, I need to work on it. I figure if I at the very least keep up with the "blog" maybe then I will get into the feel of it. Then I can write some stories.

TangentGeorge Carlin died. Yesterday I believe it was. He was very funny. Some of the things he said were almost absolute truths. Some were clever observations. Some just made you think. Whatever you may have thought about him, you have to admit that there will never be another like him. I hope he rests in peace and I hope that today in heaven the laughter is a little louder because George is there.

Tangent 2I feel guilty when I throw out garbage. I know that sounds stupid but I do. I look at the shit that I throw out and think to myself, "where did all this stuff come from?" I don't even get that much stuff that needs to be thrown out. I rarely buy anything. I don't have money and except for a car don't really need that much. I don't do take out food that often. Hell, it has been over a week since I did have anything from outside that house and that was in a small paper bag. I think the problem is that no matter what you buy it comes in layers upon layers of packaging.

I think in the quest to make everything tamper resistant and super safe for transporting we are wasting tons and tonnes of paper, plastic, and whatever else we use. Like I have said before, I am not some freakin tree hugging, baby seal kissin, earth saving hippie; I just don't see the point to waste money and resources if you don't have to.

Oh, and it really pisses me off when people say we have to save the planet. That is the kind of arrogance that will never help anyone. Now, unless someone has an anti-matter device and is about to blow up the Sun, I don't think the planet is going anywhere. Even if the global temperatures rise and things get really really bad, the odds that the human race will just disappear is probably not going to happen. Why do I say that? Humans are survivors. Our brains will allow us to overcome a lot of hardships. Hell, laying around on this planet is enough food stored in various ways for us a significantly decreased population to live for a very long time. Not to mention if the human population did go down that would almost certainly lead to an increase in the other species on the planet which would lead to food sources. Now someone might say that the dinosaurs went extinct and they ruled the planet but the dinosaurs never invented the gun. They didn't have writing and books. There are thousands of libraries across the planet where a future population could go and learn farming and machining and other skills that just were not there in times past. And that assumes that those skills wouldn't be passed down. Would it be easy, hell no. But it would be possible. I don't see humans sliding back into a stone age. I just don't think that would happen.

If there are bad changes to the environment, I see people dying. I see famines and disease but eventually, things would even out and people would progress again. Just the nature of our species.

That and the fact that people love to fuck. And if there is a cataclysm, there might not be much to do with your days but find food, fight off zombies and gasoline hungry punks, and then fuck. At least that is what all the post-apocalyptic movies that I have ever seen says. That and to get a shotgun. But you know how I feel about that.

Laterzzz...
