-Thanatist quote: "For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even the memory of them is forgotten. Their love, their hate and their jealousy have long since vanished; never again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun."-

The most interesting dream this week was the one where my younger brother joined the SCA. Yeah, slow news week.


A Happy Haiku

You are purposeless.
Don't be depressed, though. The earth
will not lay you off.


Reality check. The above poem comes out of a discussion I've had with multiple people about how insane it is that people find a lack of overarching meaning or purpose to life depressing. My crackpot theory that people confuse reality with a huge corporation that is noticing your unproductive drain on resources (um... how do you remove resources from reality?) and is about to do some restructuring.

Try to keep it family-friendly.
Otherwise, poetry, random exclamations, and opinionated diatribe all welcome.
