Let me check the kitchen table again.

No beer and travel money has yet arrived, no box of cash, or stack of checks.


I was at a company doing managerial work, they said I had to sign that I would think like they do. I said they have no business saying how I think, they can say what some policy is, but my mind is mine. The boss at the time said it did not mean anything, I said if it does not mean anything why were they going to move me out of a manger position if I did not sign it.

In the same way, Isn't it odd that the whole visible universe can bend and even become chaotic, before someone decides that proper correction of beer and travel money should be sent? That says something. That it does mean something, and becuase of that claim, and becuase that is due, the very fabric of space time changes within what I see in the environment. Although you can think many ways on why that occurs.

But having a tower and foundation built on the concept of making sense, and justice and compassion, no level of such distortion can change what makes sense. So it can be funny, or it can be weird, but it does not change that I really am due beer and travel money.

And people can say they 'invited' or 'offered' but they haven't, the beer and travel money has not arrived. Although some have asked to 'work for them' when that makes no sense, when I am already due.

And why would it be more important for all observable items in existence to change, rather then correct a wrong, that actually shows it is important to correct it, or that the observable universe is not real, and why would it matter anyways then. And since it would not matter if it is not real, I work from the assumption existence exists.

I don't regret getting kicked around when I have not done wrong, becuase I don't do the kicking and that is someone elses choice, so I also don't regret not agreeing to those conditions, especially when I am due beer and travel money.

As long as things keep changing, eventually the beer and travel money will arrive. And I can make it through any level of chaos, and even find some humor, learning, and thought in much of it. It does not mean I accept a wrong situation, and that includes ideas of something as an invite, that is not that. Then again, with existence in flux, I don't need to be in 'some group' anyways.

6. Wile. E. Coyote was my idol as a kid
Edited on Thu Jun-30-11 08:07 AM by Blue_Tires
Master craftsman, mechanical engineer, chemist, physicist and was never fazed by repeated failure...

Of couse I know now that the cartoon was a ploy to get kids interested in applied sciences so the USA would have enough brainpower in the next generation to lob better missles at the Soviets:silly: :think: :crazy: :nuke: :scared: :hide: :patriot:

7. "Everyman's guide to existentialism"
Somewhere years ago I read that description of the Coyote/RoadRunner cartoons. The RoadRunner is the meaning of life and Wile E. is the individual trying. forever and futilely, to capture it.

That allegory is almost as brilliant as the cartoons themselves, which are as close to aesthetic perfection as anything can be.
