And Off We Go Again...

[the_gneech]

Well, yesterday was a stresser, and no mistake. A cold, rainy Sunday, punctuated by financial troubles, ennui, and frustrated attempts to find something fun to do that didn't involve spending money. Laurie was in a bad mood, I was in a bad mood, we were both tired ... it was scary.

Things picked up a bit in the evening, tho ... we splurged a bit on "Olive Garden" for dinner (there went the rest of my tips from last week), and just sorta relaxed generally.

I'd say more, except I'm not going to. Le sigh. So instead, I'm just gonna get up this morning, and keep on moving. The world spins around again, and doesn't require my permission to do so. :)

Y'know, as much as I'm an evangelical agnostic, I do rather hope that my belief in reincarnation is founded -- or that there's at least something to look forward to. Human lifetimes are way too short.

Well, as an agnostic, I can't take it for granted that there will be anything later ... so I've gotta work on the assumption that I just get the one shot. -TG

As a card-carrying, prosletyzing atheist myself (secret handshake and everything), I can tell you this:

Regardless of what you believe about later, you have responsibilities, including to yourself, here and now.

Figure out how to make the best of what's happening. You won't have this opportunity again, no matter what.

And keep an eye on yourself regarding the little self-destructive behaviors that we all fall prey to (he says as he writes a concerned post to a friend while putting off writing a document he hasn't figured out how to start...) ;)

Want to hear something scary? Last night, in a dream (At least I'm sure it was a dream), you told me that you were putting in your two weeks at Starbucks to go work at this other place. The other place was a very small step up from Starbucks while still being in a related field. How's that for crazy? -Frisk

Feh. No small steps for me! Only giant leaps! ;) -TG

Even as an agnostic (like me!), just remember:

Energy can never be lost. It can only be transformed.

What you bring into the world will still be touching people, after you're gone. And you have touched a lot of folk with your comics!

Thanks ... but I sorta view the subject the same way Woody Allen does:

"I don't want to gain immortality through my work...
I want to gain immortality by not dying."
