Uncertinty in an uncertain time

The economy is collapsing.  I'm taking a pay cut to go back to an old job.  There's no telling where we're going. Or which way the rower's rowing. I'm burnt out and want a nap.

Here's a theory; I'm a chaos engine. All the crazy stuff that happens in the world and my life comes from me.  When things are extra strange and scary, I get tired from all the energy I unconsciously expend.  Vise versa when things are more normal.

What does it mean when I laugh at the financial situation we are in? Why do I smile and laugh more the more I hear the economist nash and cry? How sick am I in the head or am I sick at all?

Hail Eris that Bitch!

She does love her little jokes.  Occationally she likes to scare you until your asshole clenches so hard that you can fart a note that can only be heard by dogs. The important point is they let me go. Remember to make sure your tail lights work.

Too much fun

As I've posted before my best friend is getting married. He has just given me the honor of being his best man and I thank him for it. This does however mean that I have a lot to plan.  I have a speech to write a party to plan, and a wedding to help coordinate.  !! IN LAS VEGAS !! I've gotta come up with an acceptable wedding present. Best yet he is a fellow Discordian so this is just going to be one massive trip.

A pair of Discordian nut jobs and associated friends are going to meet up in a surreal and maddening place to celebrate a ritual. I can't imagine what all is going to happen.  We'll have to find out.

I promise to come up with all sorts of crazy plans and to not be disappointed when you tell me no. :)

Koan Time with Uncle Bandersnatch

CAUTION! Your local police are considered armed and extreamly dangerous! Do not approach!

We must lose our minds to come to our senses.

"What map? What are you talking about you serene old fruitcake. Just cause you're old and happy doesn't mean you don't have to make sense anymore." -Me

Might doesn't make right, but it does make authority like no bodies business.

The new baby

I got all the parts on wednesday for my new computer.  Everything worked first time out of the box.  I had the machine put together and OSed in 3 hours.  It is good and I'm proud that i slapped the whole thing together so quickly.  Downside is that I then had to leave for PA so it is just sitting at the apartment doing nothing.  I also need to get an HDMI cable for it. Best Buy is cool with selling me one but they want 50 freakin dollars which is outrageous. It can't actually address all the memory. : )

I want to get back to it and really break it in.  It also needs a name.  I was thinking Elderbeast.

Being right is not always the greatest thing ever

Grandpa Snyder died last night about 12:30ish.

Grandpa Snyder

My Grandfather is getting close to dying.  It's sad.  It's also good.  He's been sick for a while and when grandmother Snyder died it took a lot out of him.  He has been ready to go for a long time. So I'm glad for him and sad that he is on his way out.

Death is a part of life, fearing death is pointless, but you can miss your friends and family.

I wonder if the old lie told to kids doesn't hold a good philosphy.  When people get old they leave to a far away place that we can believe is really nice and one day we can go visit them.
