don´t know if you just joked around.. but, that´s pretty much the way i handle my shitty weeks.. to see something broken and messed up somehow calms my mind. ok, it may all because of adrenalin and the feeling after adn. "stops working" :Smug:

and second thing.. i´ve always wanted to blow something up or just shoot someone. maybe celeb.. or politician.. o_O

What do we have a bunch of John Hinckley's in here?

Well, life certainly can suck, mine pretty much does right now, and what sucks the most is not seeing any end to it, at least not one that is close enough to offer any real piece of mind about how worthless what I'm doing in the present seems to be. Just keep doing the same old shit because you have to, spending your days doing things that mean nothing to you. It is both inspiring and depressing that I'm reading this book on Ben Franklin, because he did so much with his life - he lived the life of like 5 men in one, and he came from nothing. Never seems like he really worried too much about failing, he just lived his life the way he wanted, and it was not trivial, either - he helped create my country, really the first of its kind. Many consider him to be the first real American. It seems like the time of people like that is past to me, and all thats left is this sort of predictable, formulaic, society-based life. Depressing.
 
Well, I'm not ready to grab a 38 special and do anything drastic. :p

Life most certainly does suck, but yes, there is an end to the monotony one day, and my life energies will happily disperse back into the vast expanse of the universe. Non-cognative existance for the rest of eternity, that gives me some solitude... the iron in our blood all came from a super-nova many thousands of millions of years ago, and the rest of our energies are just as ancient, it's just this temporary manifestation that quite literally bothers me... once I'm feeling nice and happy and ready to feel great, something else manages to work it's way into my subconcious to drag me back down to the reality of it all. I don't know if I'm even trying to make a point here... how.... sad. Oh yes, I remember... that one day it won't matter anymore, and that won't necessarily be a bad thing.

Anyways, a while back I read a book on Thomas Paine... a great American I think, mostly a failure throughout life, but he was inspirational, a patriot, a revolutionist, a poor man, a popular author that, quite frankly, changed history. Quite a miraculous, but very depressing life I think. If you haven't read about him, it's good reading.

Maybe I should see if I still have it, might cheer me up... heh.

Yeah well, to any of the others who fancy blowing away politicians and stuff...Jodi Foster will not be impressed :erk: .

Oh yeah, Paine's Common Sense was a piece of literature that helped fuel our revolution as well as France and Ireland's. It really never loses its brilliance in stating the case for liberty and the ideal living situation of man, although post-modernists might have some trouble with it. Paine's life is interesting, too, but he did kind of end up a drunkard and got way into the French revolution, even after our government kind of turned its back on it's extreme excesses. Funny thing is, Paine went to great lengths to justify the (literal) whoelsale liquidation of the entire French aristocracy, but then France locked him up anyway just for being English...figures...
