It’s 5 weeks ‘til Christmas Eve. For me that means an extended period away from the day prison. I’m trying to figure out what might happen in 2014 and how I can maybe circumnavigate the rat race. Plans are one thing, schemes are another. Seriously pondering out a way to bring these things together is not entirely straightforward but then again, what is? Take blogging for instance, I can’t claim to have writer’s block but attempting to steer clear of a computer screen is another of those dalliances. I spend 8 hours a day in front of one at work and the last thing I want to do is several more at home.
And now that people can hear virtually anything for
themselves, is there any point in trying to cajole them into listening to
something? Actually, there is. We all rely on filters. Recommendations.
Pointers. You can’t rely on what passes for conventional media, that’s for
sure. Although sometimes I figure that it wouldn’t be such a bad thing to be a
lemming. Don’t fancy being a sheep though, all manner of unpleasant activity
can be directed at those poor creatures.
It was very dark tonight on the way back to the bunker. Driving in the dark is no fun at all. Even less so when idiots coming the other way won't cool it with the full beam. Shut-In status is looking pretty damn good right about now.
