never ever daily

tell me about overpopulation. tell me about disease and armageddon. taxes, death, and trouble.

atoms, photons, electro-magnetic forces. quarks. strings? holes?

so, buddhists can lower their heartrates low low low. they can heat their bodies, while under wet sheets, in below-freezing temperatures, meditating until the sheets are dry.

and somehow i feel badly; the number was 877, not 887 - a whole group of CFSR and CFSP consultants had a teleconference on engaging providers in systems reform and that dyslexic fumble stunted that. i have no idea what all that is. how can i care to feel badly?

the fact that, while there is legitimate space between the atoms of all things, i can't put my finger through my water bottle because of the negative electomagnetic repulsion. i can't even make my atoms touch it's atoms. somehow i don't slide right off my chair onto a floor i never really collapse on.

all the while, i'm only aware of my facilities to the extent that i've been instructed to use them. i didn't know i could dry sheets with my body heat under freezing conditions. what else can i do? could i, i don't know, bend steel or leap buildings? hibernate? live or die on thought alone?

the power of the mind - or the powers out there i haven't met yet. now they're talking how there's 11 dimensions. the human experience is limited, true. but maybe not quite so limited. maybe we could conceive of more than four dimensions. maybe there is something to understanding the very very small to further our consciousness. thousands of years ago, could they even conceive of electricity? could they even see the moving pictures on a television, or would it be beyond their scope - like how the synapse bundles aren't developed for the chinese to hear the difference between our L's and R's? i know i'm not hearing and seeing what's there. what am i missing? could i introduce ulta violet to my spectum gracefully? and what else after that?

here's a conspiracy theory: the heightening of information, the increasing speed of movie editing, the decreasing of attention spans - it's all preparation for the Great Enlightenment, sponsered by NASA, Microsoft, McDonadl's, and Jockey. we won't be ancient fuddyduddies when the information throw-down occures. we'll be fully prepared to witness the new glory. we won't be afraid of the unknown - our lives are too luxurious and boring to waste a new chance to be shocked. we'll see microwaves. we'll feel the atoms as we walk through walls. we'll hear those mice singing to each other. when will the cat be let out of the bag? there is more to life than this.
