On Nothing


Quickly: Here is a view from the other entrance to my house. Exciting, huh?!? The Brazilians living upstairs were apparently (I slept, Eric was questioned by the po-po) escorted from their flat (one even in handcuffs) for selling that evilest of drugs, marijuana. That comma before marijuana shows that its superiority in evilness should be tacit to all. So now we are faced with lingering moral questions:

This event should end the constant boom-boom bass above my peaceful home and Eminem may finally get his deserved reprieve from having his horrible music be blasted incessantly for people to become upset to their stomachs from and to generally pity an individual that is responsible for making such noise. Eminem could likely be placed on the same level as the man that invented not just CFCs for aerosol cans, but Tetraethyl lead for an anti-knock agent in cars. Get it?

But this is at the expense of having people go to jail. At least they are not Americans, but rather a lesser people. I'm kidding. I've been reading Vonnegut. I'm not kidding.

Seriously:

I intended to take some time today to explain the synchronicity of what has been occurring in the nine year cycle that concludes today, January 9th. However, now that it has arrived, I find that I'm not prepared to discuss this openly with all of those unknowingly swimming together in the ether. I'm also finding not enough time to talk about my alternative topic. So read the post again from the beginning and enjoy it this time.

Perhaps you should consider explaining "the synchronicity of what has been occurring in the nine year cycle that concludes today" (I'll forgive you the date mistake) with those of us who well remember what happened on Jan. 7, 1997; who were also deeply affected (albeit not as much as you); and who would welcome the thoughts you have to share. I've read your message many times since you originally posted it, but didn't decide I really should write what I felt until today. Share it with those of us who love you, who share such memories with you, who would do anything for you.

I agree - "I find that I'm not prepared to discuss this openly with all of those unknowingly swimming together in the ether." This isn't something to discuss openly with anyone who happens to find their way into your thoughts.

But you should most definitely discuss it with those of us who come here willingly to share your thoughts and life as often as we can. We're here, Charley. I've always been here for you and I hope you know that. Please talk to us about it, please???
