after thinking for almost a week now of what to post to celebrate my 2000th nugget, i have ultimately become frustrated.
for the last 3-4 days i have wanted to comment on many of the insane things going on, and have come close to posting about almost each topic that has come across my gaze. each story seeming more important to discuss than the last, i have found myself quite indecisive. even more so than lately.
the 5,000+ deaths mark has been reached.
a doctor has been assassinated in an act of rightwing terrorism.
an army recruiter has been murdered, and another gunned down and hanging by a thread.
GM nationalized? really?
Franken has still not been seated? REALLY??
* feels normal now that he's picking up dog shit. (first time i suspect he's ever been cleaning up a mess rather than making one.)
the world circles the drain, and we all rush to the altars of the media to find out how that Susan lady is doing after collapsing from exhaustion.
meanwhile, the Kyoto Protocol still has yet to be ratified, so while we kill each other over our petty selfish grievances we continue to simultaneously murder the planet.
as the bailouts continue to prop up corrupt banking infrastructures, i see the DOW continue to rise, as the american people fall - into further debt. jobless, homeless, and in the case of our GLBT brothers and sisters in CA, rightless.
also, when/if the photos get released i think we're all going to see a way worse impact here in the states than you will abroad. just my own prediction on that.
a shitstorm is brewing. there is a boiling point. an inevitable climax. we are steadily climbing toward the next epoch. my curiosity exceeds my patience, and my ability to grasp the events happening all around me is slowly eroding. my mind feels numb, and that little tiny voice in my head is no longer tiny, but screaming in agony.
i remind myself constantly, "even Rome fell."
what are we going to do to keep that from happening? do we want to keep it from happening? out of the ashes arises new life. is this why Nero fiddled? is this why our politicians appear to be impotent to do anything to stave off the inevitable collapse? are we tuned in to a controlled crash?
it's like watching a shakespearean tragedy. i'm thoroughly engaged, and believe the hero may just pull off a great victory, but will it subsequently end in tragedy anyways like they always do?
i'm not an alarmist. i'm not negative. i'm just being real about all of this. i don't believe the sky is falling. i believe the sky is growing holes in the ozone, and when you pan down you can see the clusterfuck of man-made reasons attributing to the why and how. i want to believe that we'll pull through this, but the hydra (RW talk radio) still lives and breathes hate into the ears of the sheeple. it's like watching a baby being lulled back to sleep after waking up from a nightmare. they stuck a pacifier in our mouth and are in the process of tucking us back into our crib.
at this point i'm left with my last thought on all of this which is - where do we go from here? and if there is a direction, how do we get there?
