Deviation Actions
Do things that make YOU proud. Live every moment with great sincerity, deliberately, with your full attention.
Every moment between now and death will pass, whether you fill them with yourself - whether you claim them and make them your own - or not.
Better, then, to OWN every moment, no?
If you live with sincerity, and work your own skills to their limits in pursuit of what you wish to make, express, do... you will have some degree of fame or recognition, perhaps... but you will definitely have satisfaction.
Satisfaction cannot be bought, cannot be given, and cannot truly be derived from the attention of others - it can only grow in the soil of your own soul.
Become, then, a farmer.

BECAUSE I'M NOT STUPID
Because I'm not an abject moron like the alien overlords were in that anti-capitalism sermon masquerading as a sci-fi/CGI epic movie... in the spirit of "how it should have ended" I now present:
"HOW 'JUPITER ASCENDING' SHOULD HAVE ENDED"
(yadda-yadda-intro-yadda-yadda)
Ratlike Minion: "My lord, we have confirmed the DNA profile, it is her"
Lord Valdemort, Jr.: "Very well, Mr. Pettigrew, execute plan A"
- Jupiter Jones shows up at the fertility clinic,
- a small tactical nuke in the building goes off,
- event blamed on terrorists,
- sheeple/crop lulled back to sleep,
- villains win,
- fade to black, roll credits.

THANKSGIVING
What a week.
What a year.
What am I thankful for?
Let me start with the obvious. Considering that I should have been dead and in the ground over a year since, I'm thankful to be not only above-ground but hale and hearty and in impossibly excellent basic physical health. I'm thankful to all who helped make this happen - from the mother and step-father who raised me to be tough, to my wonderful Shelby Gordonsdottir who woke me when my heart began to die, to the medical professionals who stabilized and fixed me and set me on the path to recovery (with instructions I generally follow ), and even to whatever that was that gave me the choice

Another Friend Gone
Lost a friend last night to a car wreck.
Death... We do a very thorough job of putting it out of our minds.
And perhaps we do too good a job...
The fact remains that we are all being hunted by Death, and without exception every single one of us will go into the bag. The best we can do is to take reasonable precautions, but at the same time to be sure to live fully every single moment - because it really could be the last one given us. My dog would advise you to love who you love, every possible moment. Dogs know this stuff 24/7... we humans need to be reminded.
I didn't know Cody all that well, but every moment I spent around him I was aw

very poetic, but I was thinking blacksmith rather than farmer.
