Well if yesterday night wasn’t enough, now my entire body aches from all that coughing and I can barely breathe without hurting somewhere. I sure can’t take deep breaths and I’m deathly afraid of sneezing now. I’m not sure if this is a result of an accumulation of sleep depravation or just my general lack of good mental and spiritual health…
Met with another potential client over lunch yesterday. Looks like I may have some side work coming my way that I can deal with -that being mainly drafting work. None of the problems of quirky PC’s and their temperament. Just good ‘ole hourly billing! I can deal with that!!! Sure was nice to have my laptop there when we were looking at some of his drawings while eating lunch at some hole-in-the-wall Greek food joint.
I’ve been brewing some sort of creative thing in my head as of the past few weeks and I think it’s time to put it down here for the moment. I don’t know if it’s going to be a song, a poem, a movie, or whatever, but it all got started when I saw the latest Exorcist movie. Now I have always loved those scary movies but it got me thinking about true evil and how it really operates. I can’t imagine a man that has lived as long as the Earth is so stupid to think that running around scaring people to death is going to advance his cause. I’m sure the devil operates a lot more like the movie The Devils Advocate. There you don’t even realize what’s going on until it’s too late. He doesn’t take away your soul in front of your face -you give it to him. When I think about what’s going on in this country from a political standpoint, I have seen a lot of this over the years. With many kids growing up without a real education in the ways of the world or their history, politicians can say things that would have never even been considered a few decades ago because people would have had an understanding of how things work that would have precluded their acceptance. Not today -and the disease of ignorance is spreading. We will slowly but surely give away the virtues that made the US great WILLINGLY! There’s a song in there somewhere -I know it! It goes all the way to the top of our world’s governments, and all the way down the every last one of us on an individual basis. So many of us willingly GIVE UP or GIVE AWAY the only thing we truly own: Our hears, our freedoms, our choices, our time & energy, ect… Why do so many of us do that for nothing of real value? I can say this because I am also guilty of it…
