Yes I'm going to talk about it again.

So exactly when did I sign anything that said I consented to be governed by anyone.  It couldn't have been during the first 17 years of my life as this government would not accept my word as legal until I was 18.  It must have been then; when I turned 18, that the government failed to inform me that they inferred my not leaving this country as a legally binding contract that I would follow all their bullshit rules.  I won't waist time saying they can't do that. Of course they can do that.  They have a lot of guns and are willing to assault, kidnap and extort money out of me for as long as they like if I don't do as they say and the only thing I can do about it given the overwhelming odds is shut up or get beaten, kidnapped,  and thieved from.

I have never been the only authority that governed over me.  When I was small I governed over by my parents, teachers, and city, state and federal governments (yes I'm amused that there were 5 authorities). When I went to college I was governed by the University and by local, state and federal governments.  Now I am governed by my company, local, state, and federal governments.

I have never been the only authority to govern myself. How different am I then when I was a small child?  How has the source of the authority I'm governed by changed since I became an adult?

Is there no option but to take on the authorities while chanting Non Servium? Would leaving this country really help?

... And the world lets out a sigh of relief.

My best friend is no longer having his wedding in Vegas thanks to the Depression.  Truth be told I'm relieved.  The prospect of throwing a bachlor party in vegas was concerning me.  I had already started saving to make sure that I could get everyone to all the places I wanted to go. It looked really expensive but I was determined to do it right. Now I'm not looking down the barrel of a major expendature which is cool.  Not that I wouldn't have gladdly done it; this is my best friend I'm talking about here, but I'm also glad I don't have to also.

Furthermore I would also feel like drinking a lot if I were in Vegas; it brings it out of me.  I have a tendency to behave poorly, do very unhealthy things, and thrash myself. I'm getting to old for that any more. I'm cresting 30 and my body doesn't like getting rediculously drunk any more. I get hangovers; headaches, mild stomach problem, and mud butt; all things that I never got even 5 years ago. It sorta bums me out. I used to be able to stay out all night, drink like a fish, function like a sober person, and get up the next day like nothing happened and do it all again that night. Now I have to drink a bunch of water, wash down some asprin, and eat certain comfort foods to function. It's not all bad.  Not drinking is cheaper, I feel better, and I can sorta accept that part of my life as over.

Strangely I am entering a sorta monastic period. Go to work, come home to a quiet and contemplative dinner, maybe go out to visit with friends or stay home and meditate/exercise/stretch. It's peaceful. It makes me content. It also keeps me out of trouble and saves money.

Who knows which way the world is rowing.

Figure out what that means

When in trouble
when in doubt
run in circles
scream and shout

shake your fist
stomp your feet
blindly charge
then quick retreat

don't think hard
don't think long
snap decisions
are never wrong

you're always right
'cause you commit
even when you
should have quit

1:29 AM

Went to bed at 11pm something, got up at 10:30am something, and had a nap at 3ish after stuffing myself stupid on Turkey day. Now for some reason i'm not tired. It's cool I have a couple days off but my sleep schedule is screwed. Ain't nothing nothing and I won't know who I am for a couple days. The beast of a thousand centuries of darkenss will be loosed and shall giggle at people inappropriately. Crank the maddness engine up to eleven boys and girls it's time for the fun ride to crazy town.

My commandment to you: follow strangers around saying spooky

Congradulations to the Discordians of HARWICH, Mass.

wow

Congrads Discordian nut jobs of the aformentioned area.  That is one hell of a Jake.   A bit pricey though.

Why do I need to meet the same person more than once.

So I was thinking about groups of people and how some sub groups share so many similarities that the people associated with that group seem to be nearly the same person. Some of these sub groups are very large if you remove outside appearance as a distinguishing characteristic. If you can that is. It seems reasonable that how a person decorates themselves on the outside is a representation of their personality. Hmmmm If the person puts little thought into how they dress themselves or doesn't dress themselves with any form of expression what does that mean?

modded by me to fit better I think.

Hey there Chthulhu down there in your sunken city
You're a billion light-years distant and the stars they look so pretty
From R'lyeh
So close and yet so far away. Ia Iay.

Chthulhu fuh-TAH-gun, or is that Chthulhu fuh-TINE?
I can never quite remember 'cause I'm not in my right minds
Since I met you
No one corrupts the way you do. You know it's true

Oh, it's what you'll do to me
Oh, and all humanity
Oh, you'll rise up from the sea
Oh, kill everyone slowly
Except the ones like me

Hey there Chthulhu, I've been studying your gospel
The Necronomicon, it gives me nightmares something awful
Where I see
The death of all reality. It fills me with glee

So when the stars are right, you'll come and do your worst
But that's okay because I know you'll eat the cultists like me first
When you get here
I know that day is drawing near. I have no fear

Oh, it's what you'll do to me
Oh, and all humanity
Oh, you'll rise up from the sea
Oh, kill everyone slowly

A billion light-years seems so far
Below the sea, beyond the stars
Of these putrid human souls you'll drink your fill
The fools will all make fun of me
But I'll just laugh maniacally
'Cause no one's ever suffered like they will
Chthulhu, I can promise you
That by the time this cult gets through
The world will never ever be the same!
Praise your dark name!

Phn'glui mglw'nafh Chthulhu R'lyeh wagn'nagl fhtagn
Boy, that's really quite a mouthful, can't quite cram it in my noggin
Not today
I try to say it anyway
I feel my soul being to fray
Still I await that frabjous day
Chthulhu calay!

Oh, it's what you'll do to me
Oh, and all humanity
Oh, you'll rise up from the sea
Oh, kill everyone slowly
Except the ones like me
Oh, kill everyone but me
Everyone but me
