Went to R Thomas...

Rush - [Freewill]--- Spent far longer at R Thomas than i should have, all things considered, but, all things considered, i definately should have stayed there, as long as i did. Yes. Discussed Economic Theory, about which i admitedly know little, for several hours, and had people fully realise that my entrie existence and planning is predicated on a paradox, all resolutions to said pareadox, and the meta-paradox of the co-existence of those resolutions. Also met a very intelliget Stripper/painter/sculpter. She hopped into our conversations, as we tend to do, to others. (Lamb - [B Line]). That was refreshing.

Anyway, in response to the events of the evening, here: Have some lyrics:

Freewill
by Rush

There are those who think that life
Has nothing left to chance,
A host of holy horrors
To direct our aimless dance

A planet of playthings
We dance on the strings
Of powers we cannot perceive
"The stars aren't aligned -
Or the gods are malign"
Blame is better to give than receive.

You can choose a ready guide
In some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide
You still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears
And kindness that can kill;
I will choose a path that's clear-
I will choose free will

There are those who think that
They've been dealt a losing hand,
The cards were stacked against them-
They weren't born in Lotus-Land

All pre-ordained
A prisoner in chains
A victim of venomous fate
Kicked in the face
You can pray for a place
In heaven's unearthly estate

You can choose a ready guide
In some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide
You still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears
And kindness that can kill;
I will choose a path that's clear-
I will choose free will

Each of us
A cell of awareness
Imperfect and incomplete
Genetic blends
With uncertain ends
On a fortune hunt
That's far too fleet

That's really it, for tonight. I'm done, now, and i should be in bed. Fuck it, i might simply not sleep at all...

For this to work, everything has to be true and not true, at the same time, and over time. (Voltaire - [Where's The Girl?]). Why is that hard to get? I realise what i'm saying, but i also realise that what i'm saying inherently supports itself. Multiversal Bootstrapping. If you think i'm wrong, for the love of god, engage me in debate... I need more opportunities to work this out, and i'm not being sarcastic.

Dream Well

I got about 3 hours' sleep, this morning.

Pain - [Easy Out]--- Watch this Now. That was found by mendori. Thank her, Now.

Spent most of to day at my Mom's new house, helping her set things up, and build things, watching "God, The Devil, and Bob," on DVD, feeling like i was going to god damn collapse. She made me breakfast, though. So that was damned awesome.

Came home, watched More "God, The Devil, and Bob," ate lunch, hung out with mr_hinzelmann, Al, and Victoria, went to Criminal Records where i'd not been in over half a year, saw Rick, whom i'd not seen in over half a year, and bought Neil Gaiman's The Books of Magic. (Tori Amos - [Space Dog]). The original. Which is out of print. Of which there was only one copy remaining, in Criminal Records.

So there.

Also, finished His Dark Materials, today. Hated the ending, but it couldn't have ended better.... Damn things...

In closing: The Economic Theory that can be discussed is not the Eternal Economic Theory.

Later all

{11.44pm: Today you could feel unusually inspired, WOLVEN. Some intriguing ideas might come to mind out of the blue. You could suddenly have the impulse to work on a creative project, such as writing a story, doing a painting, or playing some music. Try to make time to indulge these passions. You could feel uplifted and excited as you express yourself in an artistic way. Even if you don't think of yourself as creative, use your imagination today.

I really should get some art and writing done, soon...

Also? We started a cast list, for the American Gods movie, today. Pretty nice, so far.}
