It is five AM, and you are listening...
So the side of my mom's house on which the room I occupy when at home is located has good acoustics. With the window open, I hear every car that comes down the street, every lawnmower on the block, and the every word of conversation spoken by playing children across the street. So when a siren goes off at 3:30, it's something. When you are awakened by a siren, it has a purpose and direction that even the best of us lack. As consciousness dawns around the oscillating noise, it has always been, and always will be, and its departure leaves one feeling empty and consumed. Or, in the case of my brother, worried. He said he thought, half-awake, that some kind of standing wave had taken up resonance in the house, and his first notion was that of being abducted by aliens. Then the lights got louder, and the noise got brighter, and he felt a sudden chill, brrr. It was cold. Shouldn't have gone out without a cold. Our mom was right again.
In other long overdue news, I'm on my own now. I'm using some of my extra time by myself to actually read books again, which is nice. I had kind of started doing that anyway, and I'm glad I've picked it up again. There are lots of things that need to get done, but they'll get done, or they won't, and things will be okay in any case. I'd worry more if I had the singular determination of a siren, but I'm a bit diffuse myself. Right now I'm making a minidisc of KMFDM. I'm calling if the KMFMD, which I think mistranslates to no pity for minidisc, or no minidisc for the majority, or some permutation thereof.
I'm working on setting up a wiki for collaborative projects in chaos. If thermodynamics has taught me anything, it's that entropy is going up whether we like it or not, so instead of just hanging on for the ride, we should be proactive. Only by taking control of the Reign of Chaos can we stem the Tides of Darkness and find ourselves sitting upon The Frozen Throne of heat death. Making references is a lot easier than making art. Chaos, though, I can make, and make it I shall. Good chaos, though. Not the hurting people and breaking things kind, the making everybody's life a little more surreal kind. At the moment, however, I should probably get back to bed, since I have to drive to indy and then home later today. I hope things quiet down a bit so I can sleep. If not, I've got plenty of singles to throw on this disc. Goodnight, all. Do what you do, and do it well, or at least in such a way as to make yourselves and those around you happy.
