Global Trickster

I am currently both physically and mentally ill.

Physically, I have a vile bug devouring my insides. My head is pounding, my noise is dripping a viscous  fluid with its own evil personality, which has decided to use my throat for an amusement park.  My throat feels like I swallowed a rabid porcupine. My muscles are fine, if by fine you mean rubberbands dipped in liquid nitogren and hit with a hammer.

Mentally, I am a blank. I’ve got nothing. I have so many things to do; write a thesis, apply for other jobs, try to market my company, deal with bills, a kid who is going into surgery that costs 50K, another who is now a pre-teen. I know that the secret to this and just pick one, get it done, move on to the next one.

I think my first task should be the job. I can’t deal with retail anymore, I truly believe that I am beyond this now. I have five positions that I am applying for at the Seattle Times, most are non-reporting, but there is a biotech reporter position that I am hoping for. When this is done, then I NEED to tackle the thesis, I only have this year to finish it. Then I can look at the future. But not now. Now I need to focus, something which has been and continues to elude me.

Slashdot | Did Humans Evolve? No, Say Americans:

“In a 2005 poll covering 33 countries, Americans are the least likely (except for Turkish respondents) to assert that ‘humans developed … from earlier species of animals.’ Iceland, meanwhile, has an 85% acceptance rating for evolution.” The blurb on the site for Science magazine is less circumspect about the findings: “The acceptance of evolution is lower in the United States than in Japan or Europe, largely because of widespread fundamentalism and the politicization of science in the United States.”

Look, so many of the American monkeys do not believe their own eyes, their own reason. They cling to a desperate hope that their frail sad existence has some purpose beyond their heritage. They hope that their existence comes from some divine spark, that they are the chosen of all the animals on this dirt ball.

Well, good for God, at least he still has some followers, blind faith always had a sour taste to me, but its better than hunger.

Bah! What a pile of steaming shit those words were. “We just need respect” Its absurdity at the highest level. “Men” is nothing but de-evolved monkeys, flinging bullets at each other instead of shit. The problem is quite simple, too many monkeys, too close together. You can’t handle it. Your just territorial savages with delusions of self-importance. I used to try and teach you lessons through jest and trickery. I was revered and hated for these lessons, but their neccessity was understood. Now? Now I sit and laugh as you destroy each other, as you destroy the world you need and it in turn fights back. Perhaps, when their are less monkeys to contend with resources, some common sense may return to your species. Or, you’ll all simply die off.
