A wet fart's worth of wisdom

Sometimes hard work pays off. Sometimes it just means you work hard.

Its funny, impressoins we leave on people often are the ones we never intended. And the horrifying part is that impressions are totally dependant on perspective, which one rarely has much, if any, control over.


One morning I was on my way into a meeting along with a small herd of cooworkers and stopped to try and fill up an a hot cup of joe. Its one of those fairly common ones where you brew into this big spaceship thing that has a lever on the side that, when pulled (and with luck) coffee comes out. Well, as usuall I give the old lever a good wank, but it was at the end of its tank and made the universally familliar sound of a post mexican meal bowel movement. I moaned, and grumbled something about who knows, and then a coworker asked as he was walking past "did you get some out of that?" and I replied without thinking, "Yeah, about a wet fart's worth." At first he looked horrified, and then slowly as what I had just said percolated to the folks standing around with pasteries and the silence struck, I realized the look on everybody's face wasn't exactly horrified at what I said, but more embarrased that they actually knew how much a wet fart's worth was.

Think abou tit. perspective is all about what you beLIEve.

Cheers!

Hamsterwheel of misfortune

I feel like I am always behind, always working 110% to break even somehow. Maybe its because when we are born we are the product of much energy and hard work (ask any pregnant women what I'm talking about) but faced with a life of increasing entropy, and ubiquitous bygones. You can run, but eventually you have to stop to get a drink of water... and everytime you stop, inevitability creeps a little closer. The gap will always close in the end.

As a kid growing up when I would get stressed or anxiety ridden over some micro-disaster my dad would always ask me: "Is there anything you can do about it right now?" and if the answer was no, he would simply reply "Then don't worry about it till you can."... but if the answer was YES, he tell me to get off my ass and do something.

This advice has probably been the single most valuable advice I have ever recieved from anybody, (especially seeing as how I chose a career of living on the leading edge of reality, where sci-fi sometimes feels more real than my actual life and demands are not always clear... or possible). So, to be consistent, at the very least I can provide the two missing google querries in addition to today's!!! ;-)

cheers!

Eulogy

"I got up feeling so down
I got off being sold out
I’ve kept the movie rolling
But the story’s getting old now
I just looked in the mirror
Things aren’t looking so good
I’m looking california
And feeling minnesota"
-"Outshined", Album:Badmotorfinger, Band:Soundgarden





Again, there will be no random Google Query today (haven't recreated my setup on my new desktop). I will also add that alhtough this is an anonymous blog, I will not say anything that may incriminate any specific person, company, or entity of any kind... however, I will comment on a general observation:

A company that hires exceptional employees, ony to mandate that they work in a conventional environment, on a conventional schedual, with conventional tools and a conventional work ethic will undoubtedly (in spite of the inherent qualities of the employees) produce a very conventional product. Exceptional results come only with exceptional methodology.

Remember this next time you think about investing in the stock market.

peace.

Up The Rabbit Hole.

My life is slowly becoming an abyssmal cloudiness of reminders that most of us normal folk are really not all that important. That is, in the big picture that guy in the back of the bus with lice in his hair and a footlong lumpy green snot-wad stuck in his beard and herpe scarred lips, or that drunk mexican trying to pull up his pants with one hand after falling down because his other hand is still holding a crack pipe, or that unshaven lawyer in the not-so-cheap suit that is being cuffed against the back of a dusty patrol car whith his condom wielding dick still hanging out talking to the officer wearing high heals and plastic track-scabs, they are all just like me, and you. We are all just like them. Animals. You can't blame us for acting like what we are. And that, my friends, is the only clarity I need.

Cheers, and happy Thursday!

No Random Google Querry today, (since I guess I break 'all' my promises, I should at least be consistent...)
