This introduction will not be here long, so those who are fortunate enough to view it should count themselves among the blessed. For those of you who have for some reason been regularly attending the stale performance here, prepare, in a manner you feel necissary, for a bit of alteration. I'm changing the entire format of my page from the everyday personal web page (ie. useless and boundlessly common) to something a little more meaningful and artistic. I was very dissapointed in my own search for the type of carpe diem inspiration I needed on the web so I thought I would create some of my own. The thoughts I include on this page will be continuousandprogressiveandonthefly. I'll mark the separation between old and new with digital Gregorian dates. I hope you are here to enjoy it for only short amounts of time. It's a big world out there. There's not much time to live it.
Carpe Diem
{12|4|98}Welcome. What the hell are you doing here? Couldn't you be doing something else? To get here you must have been searching for something along the lines of carpe diem. Yes? So why do you fool yourself into thinking that you aren't wasting your too limited time here? Well, since you've decided to stay anyway, I'll let you in on a little of what I've been thinking about lately. Carpe Diem. This short suggestion, or rather demand, derives it's power from the possibilities it represents, and for the failure and disregard those that hear it. Carpe Diem is part of nearly every Western European's or derivative thereof's philosophy, and yet when one searches for the word on any search engine, 700 return his call. Nearly all want to sell him something. We all seem to bask in the bright light of the phrase for a moment upon it's rare and beautiful hearing, and then too abruptly return to our regularly scheduled programming. It seems also that Carpe Diem has become passe among many, an unreachable and pathetic ideal, if even that. False. This philosophy is destroying us. Enslaving us. To our own sense of the reasonable and accepted. Joe Versus the Volcano. That is a spectacular film. Faced with mortality, Joe seizes the day, takes responsibility for his own life. Why not sooner? Can we only think of "what we would do if we had only one day to live?" Can't we see that this is the case? God! I'm already twenty years old! At least a fifth of my life has already passed! I think that one only contemplates Carpe Diem when he isn't practicing. More to follow.
{2|4|99}It's interesting to look at the date of my last entry. It's been exactly two months since I updated last. But this isn't really about me. I was just noticing the irony. I'll think of some profound things to say during the next week, and I'll have a nice, big, philosphically captivating update on Thursday. This is NOT procrastination.
{2|24|99} Sorry people, it was procrastination. I've been busy being busy, damn it, and I just don't have the time to meet your demands. Updates will continue to be sketchy and unfullfilling to us both. So stay tuned! Nevertheless, I will update, as Tripod now forces me to. No kidding! Since I must, I may as well make them worth our whiles. As for all you people that visit my page, I never receive comments, so I'm not the only one not participating. Shame, shame.
disclaimer 1: All misspellings are the fault of someone else and should be dissregarded if the viewer wishes to enjoy his visit here. The point is in the pudding.
disclaimer 2: The word "his" in the previous disclaimer is not to say that all visitors to my page are male. Such is English. I refuse to use either the word "their" or "his/her." This too, may be blamed on somebody else.
