Situationally you may be fucked, but as long as you have friends that support you without coddling you, I don;t think anyone is truly fucked. It is when one has surrounded themselves with so-called friends who specialize in "blue smoke and sunshine" enemas that achieving a state of being truly fucked is close at hand.<BR/><BR/><I>I decided that whole foods are what you serve to people you expressly don’t like. I simply bought some new pants. And made lasagna.</I><BR/><BR/>I am _so_ glad that I was not drinking out of my 20 oz mug of coffee when I read this. There are too many things that could take serious damage from the forceful nasal discharge of the Elixir of Life. And besides, it hurts my nose when that happens. But really, what is the point of life if not to enjoy life? Not some mythical state of Happinesss (which, I believe is where Theory is located, where I wouldn't mind living briefly since everything works in Theory), but the act of experiencing and enjoying life for what it is.<BR/><BR/>And if the choice is between being 10 pounds over the optimal weight whilst enjoying some new food or drink (or something familiar for that matter), vs. forcing oneself to consume the raw materials of Dr. Crapper's Colon Cleanser in order to meet some magic weight, I think I know which one I would choose. But it would be a choice I made for myself, knowing full well the consequences of my actions... which brings us to:<BR/><BR/><I>Everything has a price</I>, or perhaps a little more wordily c/o Larry Niven, <I>There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch</I><BR/><BR/>And quite frankly, I can't put it more succinctly that you already have. I can only add that refusing to acknowledge the cost/benefit/cause/effect nature of things won't make it go away... so it is better to accept that this is the way the universe works, and plan accordingly.<BR/><BR/>Off my soapbox and up the stairs for more coffee. So much time, so little to do... strike that, reverse it.<BR/><BR/>-- Ravyn's Consort --Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-1115094981958871042005-05-02T21:36:00.000-07:002005-05-02T21:36:00.000-07:00Now that you mention it you did manage to sneak th...Now that you mention it you did manage to sneak through the weekend without a Sunday sermon! <BR/><BR/>Hooray for having good friends...isn't it marvelous how one of the most wonderfully versatile words in the English language can be used to succinctly sum up one's current life circumstances. <BR/><BR/>I recommend the movie...sleep is overrated!Carl V.
