"Statistics say that people who eat lots of fresh green vegetables are less likely to develop things like stomach and colon cancer."
No shit.
Why don't humans understand their bodies?

I had a radical idea once. I felt I had to tell someone. I called Ani first, and then I called Jason. I told Jason that I knew I couldn't fix the world, so I needed to escape. I was going to start making plans immediately, and I would leave as soon as I felt ready. I am still not ready, but that's not the point. Jason asked me; "well what about art?". I asked him what he meant by that and he told me that art is humanity's saving grace. His point was that for all of our struggle and all of our mistakes, we had achieved transcendence as a race through our intellectual and artistic endeavors.
This stopped me in my tracks. I've been pondering this ever since.
Tonight, on my way home from Allen's; I knew Jason was wrong.
There simply cannot be a saving grace in a time when we are already beyond saving. I wasn't sure of it then, but I am now. Art is perhaps an oasis, but it certainly hasn't saved a thing.
Almost everyone who is really paying attention is still unhappy. Our natural humanity and the planet we inhabit is dying at our feet and we're stepping over their writhing bodies; forward into oblivion.
Tell me. Have we been saved? Can we?
Look at these. Tell me we can be saved.

I truly hate to see a dog in a cage, but I will. I truly hate to put a man in chains, but I have. Sometimes I'm scared to put the past to rest, so I don't. Other times I'd really love to forget, so I do.
Sorry, *name omitted*. I think you needed to be strapped to that bed.

Feeling good about moving in a few weeks. I'm way excited. Feeling good about life in general. Even in my positive mood streak I still can't help but wonder why every attractive woman in the entire world is taken. I assume the economy is to blame. Damn you Barack Obama! Forget about jobs for a minute. Help a brotha get a date!
I want to learn how to salsa dance. Those guys are badass and seem to get pretty girls. You can't go wrong with slicked back hair and a silk shirt.

I'm not too sure if this is going to be one of those half hearted attempts at using LJ again. For right now though it's to help me keep my head on straight and get some built up shit out of my head.
I'm single. I drove Alicia away. I'm now an asshole. I live on my futon. I work way too much. I have a lot of responsibility. I'm a little offended. I miss way to many of my old friends. It's colder than a witch's tits around here.
I could keep going but no one enjoys reading a rant list. Not unless you're trying to find a way to feel better about yourself.
I'm ready for all this scared, jealous and worried shit to be done and over with.

i just finished writing ten pages of my research paper overnight... i have a meeting with my thesis adviser at noon, then work from 12:30 to 10pm. We'll see, based on whether or not i make it through that shift, if i can perform reasonably well on no sleep for 36 hours.
By far the worst part of all of this is the fact that Papa Jeezy's is donating all their profits to the families of the murdered cops. Yesterday was the same deal, and we sold over $12,000 dollars of pizza... Which is about 3 times busier than any day i have ever experienced at any pizza place. I might be in trouble if today is a repeat of that craziness.
mew concert tomorrow! anybody going???
