Hello again livejournal planet. It's 2008 in case you haven't noticed and the y2k bug still hasn't hit though I still haven't lost hope. I really need the end of the world to start already so that I can stop worrying about my future. I'll give it a couple more years and then I'm changing horses to the 2012 mayan new cycle thing. It will be weird changing thought process from technological apocalypse to spiritual awakening but I don't really care as long as it decides my future for me. I think I would prefer the new-age end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it because I'd probably learn to astrally project myself and say 'boo!' a lot.
I know all about this 2012 thing because I've read a few chapters of this book by Daniel Pinchbeck. He talks about getting high with a lot of native tribes from around the world in the first chapters to let you know that he has a spiritual connection. It's interesting, I don't really agree with everything he says, and I probably won't finish it because I can't seem to finish books anymore. At least 5 of the last books I bought, I think. I'll finish them someday though. Like 'Infinite Jest'. My new years resolution is to finish that book at some point in my life. Unless the Armageddon is upon us, and then you can't really blame me for not fulfilling the resolution.
My new years was pretty lackluster to say the least. To say a moderate amount: It was boring. I was stuck because it was the first new years that my immediate family had been together in a while(over a year[also, over 4 years, probably]) and I was expected to spend it with everyone even though we all knew I would probably retreat somewhere to be alone. My little cousin brought guitar hero III over so the beginning was off to a good start. Etc.
Now I'm here but time doesn't exist apparently according to some physicists and scientist types(who might be right) and new-age transcendentalist hippies(probably wrong) so I guess I should say 'here I'm here'. I think locations still exist. Maybe on 2012 we'll all evolve to see past the illusion of time but then things would get pretty boring. Pretty easy though. I hope most people evolve that way but I stay the same because then they'd probably leave me alone knowing that what's going to happen will happen anyways. And I'll know something is going to happen anyways so I won't worry too much about consequences since I'll know they really don't exist in a world where all time exists at once and the flow of it is just an illusion. Hey, like Tralfamadorians from Kurt Vonnegut's books. He's dead by the way.
I was going to give my current state of affairs after the 'Now I'm here...' bit but I didn't, as you might have noticed if you were paying attention. Damn, I just broke my 'Think Green' non-environmentally friendly wristband from National Envelope I got a a printing supplies open house where they had free food that I went to on one of the two times I actually accepted to go out to eat with my co-workers during my 3 month stint working at the Xerox Business Solutions Print Shop. Every other time I went through the drive-through window of whatever fast-food joint(Carl's Jr. most of the time since it was the closest) and then drove under a tree in a different parking lot, ate, and occasionally listened to Car Talk on NPR or napped.
Well, I guess I just wasn't meant to share my current status with you all so I will just let you know what my I currently am not right now. Famous or Rich. And that's what we all care about anyways, right? And by 'we' I mean 'you(plural)' because I'm not that shallow. I read new-age shit. I'm above that shit. Actually, I'm above all this new-age shit, too. I'm so far above it I'm in the vacuum of space. I can't be wrong there. There is nothing to be wrong about. And shit.
I have a ukulele now.
I'm going to transcend now. See you (later).
