Boy, I got vision, and the rest of the world wears bifocals - an unfinished thought

the older i get - and these days the rate of acceleration becomes alarming - the more i come to find truths that were imperceptible to me in my youth.

gadriel once told frodo that to be a ring bearer is to be alone. i have no rings to bear, yet i can see that to be in this world is to be alone.

i suppose it only natural for us to be occupied with self-interest. those who would give themselves to you will eventually look inward and realize that they no longer have the time or interest once professed. it is nearly invariable. though intentions may be true, the nature of man is one of narcissism.

in times of discouragement, i look to my books and movies. time worn characters who have remained favorites. they never change. their stories never alter, and their passions do not wane. when my world becomes solitary and fruitless, i turn to them and find a smile.

thank you writers for giving some cheer.

well - books, movies, and my dog.
