they want your time
they want your money
they want your attention

They want what you have so that they can be as good as you.

They’ll never be as good as you,
because they start out as equals
and then diminish themselves,
and you,
by wanting what they think you have

It’s never ending.
The only rest is to give it to them
and let them be disappointed with their gain.

Great. America has a new President.

The Stock Market is down (read: we are fucking broke )
Our currency, The Dollar, is being laughed at as worthless by the world
Unemployment is high as it ever was, Amos.

Maybe higher?

And America has a reputation for war mongering, and for torture

This poor fucker has his work cut out for him. Yes, yes, I mean Obama.
According to Ralph Nader, there doesn’t seem to be much
change what-so-ever. “prepare to be disappointed,” Ralph Nader says.

Sorry, but I’m inclined to agree with Mr. Nader.

Go, Mr. Nader. We need you now more than ever.

I learned words from the generation before me. Those words were words like depression, recession. Normal stuff like that. The generation coming up behind me is learning words they will carry with them, words like Google, Wikipedia, and megabyte.

My mom doesn’t know what a search engine is, and I rely upon them. I remember when I wouldn’t live on the same street as someone who had a computer. Now I write software. Or, rather, I did. Still hack around a bit.

When I was learning about all of that, computers, software, search engines, I learned it all from a guy named Fravia. He’s sick, and I’m sad. http://www.fravia.com/illness.htm

Where does wisdom go when it dies? I hope it’s someplace nice. Stay well, Fravia. The world will be a sadder, more ugly, evil, and stupid place without you. Godspeed.
