Coupons and so on at the grocery and wherever else are like being a performing monkey for a quarter.

The beginning of SP's Ain't it Dead Yet? The black and white video of the woman in the black dress standing on the top of a high hill in the wind. Imagine a moment outside of time, where the day to day worries of money, what those with power over you will do to you, et cetera, are gone. Find a place, a way, a "religion", a mysticism where you can go and try to get outside of time, perhaps knowing you'll never succeed, but still for some reason believing in trying.

Endlessly living short miserable lives, always remembering the past lives, but it gets you nowhere, it's always dystopia, you're always born into the lower classes. Always in the classes that live lives of fear. And drugdery. And pain.

Except you know, that if you die, you will continue to exist. And as such it's not as bad. It's all not quite worth worrying so much about....

So much easier to disagree and argue and for that matter, get angry online. In person or on the phone... "whatever you like!"

Just using the garmin thus not posting here really much on the running. But ran 4 miles in 30:47 last week, even stopping twice to tie my shoes. PB of around 90 seconds. (although my time still drops way off for that distance.) Today ran a mile in 6:34 which is a pb by about 16 seconds. Both pb's from more than 6 months. A bit of fast running twice a week but otherwise 80+% nose breathing running. 30 to 35 miles a week. It's working.

I can see sub 6 minute miles as a possibility now. Will probably need to slog through hundreds of miles for it to happen though.
