Hey yall, flapj here. No, I'm still in Philly. Gonna try and go to New Orleans for four or five days late November early December. I've often thought of livin' off the land hermit style but there is no land left to go to that isn't owned by someone or more likely some corporation. And I don't have the survival skills necessary. There is "Outward Bound", an intensive couple month crash course in wilderness survival, but it costs alot of money. Yeah, the smoking ban is just retarded. I think the same way gettinthere, just walking outside I breath the exhaust of a milion cars, trucks, and buses. Not to mention any industrial pollution in the air or water. Carcinogens are in some of our foods we purchase from the supermarket, preservatives, trace amounts of pesticides, etc. What the fuck does banning smoking do except piss people off. Computer is kinda fun, but it is a most sophisticated control device, providing government and corporations all the info they'd ever need to find out what makes you tick. I smoke Camel Filters. Health nuts are masochists. Watch a jogger and the twisted grimace they usually have on their face. It doesn't look to me like they are enjoying it at all. Taking life so seriously they kill all purpose to it in general. So you got a flat stomach and white teeth. So the fuck what. Keep on reading 'GQ', or 'Cosmopolitan' asshole and never be yourself and keep on being what they tell you to be. A faceless cog in the machine who looks, acts, works, and likes the same thing everybody else does. YAWN. Yeah, and the damage already done to the ecosystem is practically at the point of no return. If everything stopped right this second it would take centuries for the equilibrium to return to the planet. Forget blackberries and chocolate computer camera phones and rocket ships and satellites, we gotta figure ourselves out from the inside out before anything is going to work out for us. As a species, not too long ago we had a firm grasp on our place within the web of life and a much more intimate and harmonious knowledge of our selves and our environment. It just slowly got lost in the big poulation/progress shuffle. Rome, the Incas, Atlantis, Aztecs, Genghis Kahn, the rise and fall, the law of rhythm, ebb and flow, birth and death. Trying to hang in there yall. Where are the light bearing orders of angels, warriors, humans to help us out of these modern day dark ages? Loveth to alleth, flapjack |
