wolven7 | Taking a Cue from Uncle Warren

I want to talk about the Future. I want to talk about TransHumanism, and bio-mechanica. I want to talk about your future, my future, our future.

I want to talk about life, and the nature of things.

I think Giger, when I think Transhumanism. I think biomech. Emphasis on neither.

I despise the way things seem to be going, now that i'm back in classes. Maybe it's post-midterm malaise, or some other such bullshit, but listening to people talk on and on about nothing, never making plans, always staying below the line of sight, all I want to do is pound faces into the concrete again, and again, and again.

I am constantly reminded of what

thenowhere once told me: "You're not hitting hard enough."

My father recently offered me the position of CKO, within his company. It's only now sinking in what that will entail.

My writing seems to be... mired in mediocrity, of late, and i'm getting B's and B+'s, but i've not received a single A, on anything, this semester. Something has gone awry.

I've been reading more and more of the D.C. Noir stories, and, as I do so, the map in my head gets clearer and clearer. I remember how to get around the city of my birth, and I remember what I loved about that place.

Tell me what you want. Tell me why you're here. Tell me what you want to know and tell me who you are.

Tell me a story about your future, your present, your past. And it damn well better mean something to you.

I want to be able to live comfortably while creating work that inspires people to think better than they are accustomed to.

I am here b/c you have a lot to write and I like to read it, though I disagree with most of it.

I am Here so that I others may see me and realize that they do not want to walk my path, with the intent that they start walking with a purpose they never understood before.

I want to know how to translate my lot in life into a career for life.

I am just some dude. As such, I have "just" the information you were looking for if only you are willing to ask me for it and brave enough to beleive me.

I once met someone and we became friends. We were good friends and my world was brighter than it had been. Even so, I decided I wanted more. I tried to take more than this friend was willing to give and we became enemies. Afterwards, I learned that I had come to the decison to be greedy with faulty intelligence. I tried to correct my mistake, but it was too late to repair the damage.

Time passed. The enemy approached me with an olive branch. I was caught off guard. Instead of embracing them and their offer I...misreacted and the offer of peace was withdrawn. Despite being at fault for the retraction, I became angry and attacked my enemy in order to seek revenge. This, of course, backfired and I suffered more than I they did. I eventually realized the new folly of my old ways and sought to change myself. I informed my enemy of this revelation and retreated to enact my plan of inner renewal.

Time passed and we became strangers. I examined what led to this outcome and realized a lot of the pain, suffering, and misunderstandings could have been avoided. If I had understood how to see the world thru my friend's eyes we could have communicated better. The communication would have led to better understanding of each other or at least of each other's persepctives. We would have gained a stronger bond and deeper respect. However, we did not and I regretted that for a long time. This regret clouded my mind's eye and helped us become enemies and eventually strangers.

SInce then, I have tried to always be aware of the other person's point of view. I have strived to look at circumstances from another's persective and not act rashly. I constantly attempt to apply what I learned back then to my now so that my maybe will not turn out the same way. I have recently failed, though not as poorly as before. I was tempted to give up, but that would have gotten me nowhere and I am already quite familiar with those environs. This is my most important story. It has defined all the ones that came after it. I am always working to ensure that any further connotations from it do not evoke the dark meanings that began casting their shadows in Winter 1997.
