“Life is wasted on the living”. - (Quote By Douglas Adams

        "Tonight, I will feast!".      My appetite thunderously announced his 

arrival, but began to grow very impatient at the lack of guests.  My dinner 

course this evening was chicken, unrestricted, and without a fork.  I 

devoured my bird with the primal nature this dodo of a sacrifice deserved; 

teeth gnawing, blood dripping, and my belt hung so limp as to show the 

constricting snake it really was.  My meal cowered below me.  I was a God 

tonight.

               Its the most ironic time of year again, and Christmas has brought all of 

it’s small, and wonderful joys that consume our pathetic lives for one month. 

  Our televisions are commandeered by the timeless tale of the enlightenment 

of Ebenezer Scrooge.(which coincidently completely overshadows the 

Eternal tale of the birth of Christ.) I have always been disenchanted by 

the conclusion to this story though.  Our hero goes from a prude to an 

overenthusiastic ball of wax.  After his conversion to the Christmas spirit, he greets his fellow Brits on the street with cheer and good tidings.  I say Nay Mr. Scrooge!  Instead he should have taken the beautiful, white winter snow from the ground, and hurdled it straight into their faces, all the while living for the first time .  All Tiny Tim did was invite Ebenezer to a dope party, instead of the pure ecstasy his raw imagination offers him. 

               The climax to my absurdity is this; Humans are lonely because we have restricted life.  Because of tedious human relationships, this constant self examination has hindered us from the necessities that we the creature crave.    I am not suggesting that we do not indulge ourselves enough already, for sex has enough one night stands as it is.  No, I am talking about a life that tastes everything, runs through the night madly, and has the voice of Batman when it wants to.  

               Although we have entered this world alone, it is not for others to fill this void, but our own inner self that we find completeness.  Life is like a box of chocolates, in that Chocolate is all you need.   Yum.   I feel like cow tipping.  Care to join to me?

               “Human beings will be happier - not when they cure cancer or get to Mars or eliminate racial prejudice or flush Lake Erie but when they find ways to inhabit primitive communities again. That's my utopia.” 

        -Kurt Vonnegut

I went to Europe.  I ate in Europe.  I got sick in Europe.  I threw up in Europe.

Things I rembered from each city:

Vienna: They have the hollywood walk of stars, except such icons as Igor Stravinsky and Claudio Abbado are reconized.  I am convinced this is the sole reason the Euro is doing so much better than the dollar.

Saltzburg: No human's daily meal should made up of items from the minny bar.  (Refer to opening statement.)

Prague: I proudly was able to evade the masses of shady pickpockets roaming the streets by using my ingenious self-defense mechanism of putting my hand in my pocket.

Greatest privilege of living in the USA: Free Refills.  Sadly this cruel opression still exists in less fortunate parts of the world.

My weekend was extremely exasperating.  I was enjoying a pleasant getaway of hunting quail, and instead of shooting a bird, I nail my partner right in the face!  Just my luck.  This really taught me some important lessons about life though.  My mother shared this one with me when I was just a little boy.  "Here in America the rules of the middle east do not apply where you can shoot first and ask questions later."  I have had to really take this one to heart.  The media is blaming my actions as some kind of example of my continual political "Darth Vader"esque qualities.  I know exactly what your thinking.  I'm not black!  Geez.  It never ends.  Ohhhh well.  I covered my actions by claiming I mistook my partners small pellot gun for a "weapon of mass destruction".  That one has got me through a lot.

Chuck Norris Joke of the day: Chuck Norris owns the greatest poker face of all-time. It helped him win the 1983 world series of poker despite him holding just a joker, a 2 of clubs, a 7 of spades, and a green number 4 from Uno and a monopoly 'get out of jail free' card.

Right now I'm being molested by my out of self character.

Why do English teachers need to take off there glasses when they are trying to make a point.  Shouldn't you be able to see more clearly with them on?

                                            I'm going to London on Wednesday.  As the leader of the lower squadron, we'll give those Brits hell, and believe me; they'll be offended.

1(maybe more) day I will be taken seriously. =-'-= Chaos is where I find peace.

I should compose music that people would listen to.  Its very humorous to hear "A Kline quartet?(shakes head) Insanity!"
