Random thoughts

I feel like there is a guillotine hanging over me.

I am having such a good time gameliving and Facebooking with abandon these last few days - but I know I will be going off to work soon and things will change.

Yes, I appreciate the concept of living in the moment, and I am doing the best I can. Not only am I having fun with the online crew but there has also been beautiful weather here so I have been out and about on my bike. Today is looking like a great day.

But I can't help it. I know what is waiting around the corner and then things won't be the same.

I am tinged with melancholy.

:sad:
 
Is there some rule on Wipeout that you can only be a contestant if you have never seen the show before?

It is amazing to me how people never seem to learn the lessons of a zillion past episodes.

I actually saw that show for the first time about a week ago. I LOL'd a bunch. Those guys take some nasty hits. I'm sure the novelty of that show has an extremely limited shelflife, however.
 
My father was talking about his elder brother the other day. Nothing great, just telling us what he did in college or what they did as kids. Nothing emotional, nor did my father or his voice show a hint of emotion. His brother's been dead for 28 years now, so I never met him. But why did I have tears in my eyes when he was talking, or now when I'm typing this out? Just a weird, random thought that came to my mind. Sorry for a sad post. Just a bit down today.
 
I can understand getting emotional about that situation. There is empathy. There is an understanding of the underlying wretchedness and cruelty of life that we all face.

People are built to develop these deep emotional attachments - an older brother would definitely qualify - and of course so does a father - and the passage of time is a relentless harsh business.



If we can put a man on the moon, why can't we do something about the relentless bloody passage of time?!

Something new that has been happening to me - right in the middle of whatever I'm doing, I think about the fact that we are all just stuck on this giant rotating ball in the middle of space, and how ridiculously amazing and scary that is, and I feel a minor bout of anxiety take over me.
