up up and away

or so the saying goes... what must go up must come down... some law or the other

i went up and only came down cos a guy with much more strength and control than myself was able to grap hold of that harness he had let go for a millisecond and reel me back down to ground where my pea sized feat should have been planted.

i have tinges and pangs every now and again when i feel my body subside and slip into the stayed and unused to-a-desk-back-from-one form to get out and throw off the slow and arced shape that it has taken. this also leads to questions, unanswered, filled with the why's and what if's of indiscriminate choices made in the pursuit of life's purposeless goals...

there are people out there who have 'broken' from the shackles and live out there on the fringe. perhaps it is me and other day trippers that live on the fringe and actually these folks who devote a life to folly and energy educing activity that live the life of normallacy?

so 2 weeks yesterday i shall take up another kite and begin the next phase - body dragging!

a waste of space

The internet illustrates our illustrious inability to properly dispense of our waste.

We seem oblivious and pay no attention to the amount of space that we or our matter occupies. Blissfully ignorant and uncaring we ram the web with whatever we want. Be it tampon commercials on you-tube, penis creams and paraphernalia or simply another irrelevant blog such as this one we clog, clutter and collude to take up space…

If you look at the amount of time, money and effort spent on the net it is alarmingly obvious that our sense of value has been eschewed… If you compound the above and give it economical value you would probably be able to outdo any oprah-bono donation times the nth degree and infinity plus 1 and successfully put an end to third world debt, give birth to emerging economies in third world countries and probably stifle certain stock exchanges…

Alas, forwards and onwards we 'progress' blissfully ignorant of our potential and praising our destructive tendencies.
