I feel feverish. Damn it SwB! ...you've been eating and drinking all kinds of shit these past few weeks. I think I'm gonna go on a diet of that Aloe Vera juice which my psycho uncle from Goa sold us. Bludy stuff costs a bomb and is bitter as goddamn hell ...comes all the way from the deserts of Arizona. The company that makes it is called Forever Living Products.

Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today

This morning saw me making a mad dash to my stock broker's. Remember I had mentioned the possibility of getting swept away in a stock-market Tsunami? ...well, everybody knew it was imminent but a majority of us chose to wait until the waves started to look dangerous. Greed - definitely the deadliest of the seven deadly sins. Civilizations are built on greed; and it is that very same greed which can bring about their destruction. We are a bunch of avaricious little roaches and that will never change; if it did, the world just wouldn't make any sense. In fact, I'm pretty sure we'd all go bludy mad.

But you know, the world doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me as it is. Truth is: I don't even want to make sense of it any more. TS pretty much speaks my mind when she says "I'm not sure what it is--age or laziness--that increasingly makes me want to surrender my life to the universe and leave it all up to that Grand Plan"

I want to let go too. Let them - whoever or whatever - do what they like with me. And you never know - I just might have the last laugh. Wouldn't that be fun?

O.K. My buddy OrangeCloud has just brought to my attention a piece of news that I find quite embarrassing. I'm all for record breaking feats, but this can't be good for my reputation. I'm just glad our local news channels haven't reported this ...yet!
