thoughts that keep me awake at night

dogs do not live very long, compared to people
but their attitude towards life is ten times that of a human

dear cosmic entity,
please allow me to be more dog

thank you

i meditated at length upon the concept of time
less than a meter it was
time has no value you can take to the bank
and is not subject to human laws

i observed that time serves but one purpose
and time does this with a vengeance
for if time does not exist for folks
everything would happen at once

wouldn't it be a dang shame if a lightning bolt hit anyone at that parade?

radiation is not religious
a blast radius is merely physics
folks keep pulling weapon triggers
pretending the "other" is a dick

i dreamed i had the ability to speak to folks and help them understand one another's thoughts and dreams, and harmony blossomed

four times in my life have i been to the top of the gateway arch in st louis, mo
i've felt the thing sway in the wind, and even did the jumping back and forth thingie to help the beast rock n roll
then some lady started squealing that we were hooligans
dammit

but i digress
today i learned that the height of the structure is the same as the width of its stance

autocorrect is the granddaddy of AI

it sucked at first
then it got pretty ducking good most of the time
now it's all but spot on

watch this same evolution within yer current handheld device and observe it take control of yer thoughts and actions

the history that will be written will not include humans

I hated basketball in high school PE class. I never figured out when you're supposed to drivel and when you're not supposed to. I guess I was driveling most of the time, 'cuz they kicked me off the team. Good riddance. The feeling was mutual.

Fauja Singh, regarded as the oldest person and the first centenarian to complete a full marathon, has died at the age of 114 after he was struck by a vehicle near his village in Punjab, India, media reports said.

Singh, who claimed to be born in 1911, completed the Toronto Waterfront Marathon in 2011, when he was 100. He had registered his best time in a full marathon at the same event in 2003, finishing the race in five hours and 40 minutes.
