Quote of the day …
Because I always feel like running
Not away, because there is no such place
Because, if there was I would have found it by now
Because it’s easier to run,
Easier than staying and finding out you’re the only one… who didn’t run
Because running will be the way your life and mine will be described
As in “the long run”
Or as in having given someone a “run for his money”
Or as in “running out of time”
Because running makes me look like everyone else,
Though I hope there will ever be cause for that
Because I will be running in the other direction,
Not running for cover
Because if I knew where cover was,
I would stay there and never have to run for it
Not running for my life,
Because I have to be running for something of more value
To be running and not in fear
Because the thing I fear cannot be escaped, eluded, avoided,
Hidden from, protected from, gotten away from,
Not without showing the fear as I see it now
Because closer, clearer, no sir, nearer
Because of you and because of that nice
That you quietly, quickly be causing
And because you’re going to see me run soon
And because you’re going to know why I’m running then
You’ll know then
Because I’m not going to tell you now.
“Running” – Gil Scott Heron
I hope you’re getting this down …
“To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy, one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.”

“Our lives today are not conducted in linear terms. They are much more quantified; a stream of random events is taking place”
J. G. Ballard
Hello World!
Greetings folks …
It has always been my custom to jump on bandwagons when the trains have already sailed and and the boats have left the station. In this vain, and in the spirit of consistency, I have decided this timely exploration onto the peripetia which bears the curious nomenclature “blogosphere” … I say “curious” as the geometric shape of this milieux has yet to be confirmed. Such pedantry is bound to be the subject of further exploration and consideration as time and will permits.
For now I just wanted to extend a warm welcome and heartfelt appreciation for any visitors, should they ever manifest, and hope that you will find the content I provide enjoyable albeit scarce.
Truth be told, I have no idea how this adventure will unfold … perhaps that is the element which I find most appealing.
Big Love!
