[October]

OK. So there are SOME rings of fire we all have to jump through to survive.......point taken. But aside from survival....from being consumers in a consumer's world, if the pomp and circumstance is at once, stripped away to reveal the proverbial bones......to paraphrase, when was your'e LAST near life experience? If the caravan suddenly dissapeared from the drive.....your'e local grocer headed for the border, the electricity was shut off and the Holy Television ceased to give cranial meat injections.....what is left. Sadly, your average joe or jane is reduced to the prime directive....the hard wiring. If you surgically remove the trappings of society.....there is ALOT we take for granted that isn't going to be there. It's THIS primal self....the basic no frills model i speak to now. When the neighbors come in the night with pitchforks and torches shouting HERETIC.....will you fight for what you know to be right and true. (?) THAT is the soapbox i'm shouting from.....what do you believe......and are you willing to fight for it.

That is the standpoint of my entire stack of worries.....my closet full of boogeymen. What if what makes me ME is all i have.....it IS. Where am i going with this....i'm not entirely sure....but i know one thing. I'm willing to fight for it......whatever IT (??!!) may be. It's all i have to hang onto right now.
