Rising Above Mediocrity

Anyone can destroy anything. Period.

Making something from nothing is a tad more difficult than they make it out to be. Ripping something apart, hell, we all know there are enough forces out there to bring things down by themselves. Make a concentrated effort to do it, and you've got entropy on your side. (wait long enough and the Golden Gate, the Empire State, and the Hoover Dam will be gone without doing anything) I wonder if that's the strongest thing about humanity - that realizing how much the universe really wants to rip things apart into their molecular components, that we keep on making buildings, and societies, and teevee, and music, and videogames.


I had a dream, it was one of those recurring ones where the same scene gets played out over and over, but a little longer each time. The characters were me, and a very cute girl done up in a witches outfit. We went thru the motions that we'd gone thru for the last five nights of the dream, and then, over a boiling cauldron of witches brew, she said, "So, do you know what I'm doing?" And I replied, "Either your here to cast a spell..." To which she walked away from the cauldron, and looked at me with the kind of look that made me feel good about ending a sentence with "..." "Or you're not really here." To which she replied, "That's right. I'm a ghost. I'm not really here."

Now everyone knows a person in a dream isn't quite real, but a dream ghost? C'mon, what the hell is that?!? Is someone now haunting my dreams with ghosts!?? Most likely, I'd say, since more than a few things have been out of equilibrium over the last couple of weeks. However, since "anyone can destroy anything. Period." I'd also like to suggest that perhaps the most dangerous destroyer of anything, might be yourself.



Happy Friday
