...i can't stop the memories from pushing pins into the back of my neck.
i like switches. i like binary, even if it takes up reams of space. i like simplicity, although simplicity itself is, ironically enough, made very complicated and obtuse by many of those who seek it. Most of them try too hard anyways. And that, my unknown audience, is missing the point in my opinion.
Do any of you have the feeling that you may just be irrevocably predisposed to get into trouble, calamity and conflict as a result of natural behaviour?
i'm waffling on it.
i was talking to my cousin today in the school courtyard today, and he mentioned something about my Dad quitting his large district managerial type position in an industry he's been working for 30 some years now, and has plans to or already has started his own construction company. It made me laugh, in a good, non-derisive way. He never ceases to surprise the shit out of me. i'd better call him and confirm it, though, before i start making statements or offering morale support.
He is a man who welcomes the little and not-so-little Deaths of Change; without paralyzing fear, anachronistic stubborness, or complaint. This is a lesson i've been tossing with for years, having met with as much failure as i have success.
Oh yeah. And i'm still choking on fabrile memorabilia. Get out of my head. You'll wake HIM up.
