just a human...

being...me...

someone people...

...are just plain chicken shit.

stand up.

or stand down.

I personally don't give a shit.

resistance is futile...

Now I have been assimilated...the "merger" draws nigh...two days to go...

Me:
I will resist this action with my last ounce of strength...

The FIRM:
Strength is irrelevant.
Resistance is futile.
We wish to improve ourselves.
We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own.
Your talents will adapt to service ours.

Me:
Impossible.
My being is based on Freedom and Self-determination.

The FIRM:
Freedom is irrelevant.
Self-determination is irrelevant.
You must comply.

Me:
I would rather die.

The FIRM:
Death is irrelevant.

thus goes the conversation in my head...

what is rest anyway...

out late at deadCENTER last night... the Lips movie was fun... IAO was moderately attended but the Skirvin was packed... after party at Nonna's roof was entertaining to say the least... off to breakfast early morning with the bar crowd... home to sleep for 3 1/2 hours... back up and over to the shop to meet Skillet for a bike ride... thought we were going to ride to Jones and back but it took me until we almost got out there for my legs to wake up... so... like a couple of dumb asses we decided to do Hogback Road up to Memorial, over to Triple X and then back through Jones on the way back to the shop... 45 miles, all hills, all day... we used to be able to do that ride like it was nothing... not anymore... one word, cooked... after getting back had a sandwich at Red Cup, triple espresso at Daddy Warbuck's, pizza and a fucked up Caesar salad at Sauced, then to the shop to work all the rest of the day... need to sleep, but also need to get into the office early to get the plans ready for a project... shit.

about that fucked up Caesar salad... never before have I had a Caesar salad with much beyond lettuce, parmesan, croutons and dressing... the typical, traditional Caesar... not this baby. this "Caesar" had lettuce, I think some cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, parmesan, a bucket full of dressing, and ONIONS! friggin' onions! on a Caesar! but wait, I'm not a picky eater, I don't mind different places trying different things with whatever in an attempt to be unique...but I kid you not, there was what amounted to a whole onion in one stinking bowl of salad! once I got that crap out of there I had a half Caesar. of well, guess I can put that one on the ol' list of shit I'll never eat again... the pizza was good though...

I need to sleep...but after a good long shower...I'm filthy...

and another thing...

...oh never mind.

btw...

...anyone can call anything art.

just thought I'd make that perfectly clear so as to avoid any confusion.

"detached" installed...

not bad...
