dielloThank you for the whoo hoos, congradulations, and zips for my upcoming job :) Of course when James (the boss) called me to ask if I could start my training early, my sister decides that her car is broken so she takes mine, imobilizing me, since it's too cold to hitchhike.
Anyway, mum put plastic on two of the three windows in the computer room, which means my fingers won't freeze as fast. But they're damn frozen right now, so I'm going to make this quick.
I wrote this last night at 5:37am. It's an incomplete thought, but I decided to try sleep near the end.
Living in a time of such rapid change, our future starts looking pretty meek. The world is changing right before our eyes, every day. It's going by so fast that we have to live in the moment. The world is being so clouded over in material desire that we can't see an inch in front of our own noses. So we become busy trying to build careers around us and forget to work to build a future for everyone.
But that's all we've got. And for some reason, it's always been that way for as long as I can remember, and longer still. I believe it was Chaplin in "Monsier Verdoux" who said, "Life has no meaning. All we have is desire." And he's right. That's how life is. Meaningless and filled with desire. I just wish it was more fundamental. Mostly, I just hear "What do I want?" while I'd rather be hearing "What do I want to do?" What do I want to do with my life? What do I want to do with the time I've got? What do I want to do right now?
