Musings on the new year coming up

And who would've thought we'd be here to see this day? After all, Jesus was supposed to return to earth on February 18, 1993. It's amazing now to think that we truly believed the phallic-centric ravings of a drunkard as if he were uttering the very Words of God and crapping the very turds of truth.

Even that science fiction writer, Arthur C. Clark, who wrote "2001 a Space Oddesey" got it wrong, thinking we'd have space stations around Jupiter by 2001. Which goes to show that people are not ready yet for the Endtime and not ready yet to colonize outer space. So we're stuck on this mudball earth just pissing the place into oblivion with millions of tons of toxic waste per year in the oceans. Kind of like the rabbit I have in my garage. Two times a day he soaks the newspaper in his cage with piss and turds and I have to change it so he doesn't get sick, and I wonder why would he be so brainless as to make his own limited envirnonment so polluted as to be unliveable? Rabbits!

Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to 2004. The awe of living in a millennium where everything still all starts with 200- still hasn't worn off. Funny though, the world still mostly looks the same out there when I wake up in the morning. The bills still have to be paid just like they did when I was living back in the 1990's.

Then I made the mistake the other night of renting "Terminator 3" by Governor Schwartzenegger. Wow! Good news! The world ends in a nuclear war and is run by the new leader of the resistance, some wimpy kid in a bunker. Just the kind of scenario I thought I'd outgrown after leaving the Family, with Mo drinking the last of his polluted water in some basement looking through the dirty window out at the AC police goose-stepping by. Thanks Ahnold. Consider my watching of your movies terminated.

Anybody else excited about 2004 coming up? hey, one good thing. I bought myself a 2004 calendar for only one buck in the dollar store today. Sure, if you like pictures of horses and kitty-cats all year long.
