Food For Thought


All ph34r the mechanical squirrel. I've lost my voice - can anyone help me find it? It's kindof important. But hey, power is in the fingertips - with this keyboard and this text box I can create and destroy with just a few strokes. A bubbling brook and rolling hills get pwned by a lavaspitting arachnid and firebreathing drakes; a gentle touch is overshadowed by explosive content; a sighing wind drowned out by a raging hailstorm.

Life spits golfballs, one after the other. Man dodges what he can, catches what he can, knocks aside all that he can and gets hit in the face with the rest. An endless drive forward, deciding to do; to say; to ignore; to live up to; to attempt to overcome; to build upon; to push against; to scream at: wordlessly, soundlessly, triumphantly.

Pain, sorrow, struggle - relief, joy, achievement. Balance what you can on the point of destiny and pray that fate is in a favourable mood. Accomplishment comes from trying - success comes from wise decisions - happiness comes from being able.

Reflect not so much on the past; it heralds the now but tries to hold back. Dwell somewhat on the present; it is where you are and plots where you are going. Think on the future; unless you plan ahead you won't get there.
