It’s hard to know where to start. In fact we, as a species, can pinpoint the beginning of only an infinitesimally small fraction of all the Things. I want to talk about the proverbial “life, the universe, and everything”, an extremely broad topic, to be sure. Hell, I wanna talk about OTHER universes, and that just continues to complicate matters.
Fuck. Talking about the universe, to the universe. I’m not sure whether I hope it’s listening or not. Well, out with it, then.
This is going to be a collection of my personal thoughts and feelings, on the big stuff, the little stuff, the stuffy stuff, and the not so stuffy stuff. So don’t be stuffy about it. Since it’s personal, I’ll start with my personal rules. For life, the universe, and everything. They are as follows;
- Dont take it seriously.
- Dont take it personally
- Don’t be a dick.
And that’s as concrete as I’ve got so far. Number 3 isn’t even that rock solid (most of the time. get it?), since it’s totally acceptable if you actually are a penis or go by the name “Dick”. In which case, you know you can get that removed, right? The name, not the penis. Names from your parents are like sweaters you get at christmas; the don’t fit well, or look good, but you only have to wear them on special occasions, the rest of the time you can dress to your style. But I digress. I think that’s a pretty good set, as far as commandments go. It hasn’t steered me wrong yet. Also I’m generally in favor of rule breaking, so I think of this more as a policy.
Starting sucks anyway. It’s where you’re most likely to trip, fall, or generally fuck up. The important thing is to keep forward momentum. Ever onwards and upwards, they say. And Forwards. And Faster! Into the big, bright, beautifuly burning Universe, the one out there and the one in our minds. Exploration. Yeah. That’s what it’s about.
