From the Journals
of a Clever Bugger
Who Knows Every Damn Thing
by Jim
On Randomness:
Does God play dice with the
Universe? I like to believe that He does,
but I've enough experience with dice to
know that all dice, even divine ones, are
never fully random.
On Identity:
Any major change in life requires
first a change in identity.
On Hero Worship:
People nowadays only lift the hero
onto their shoulders in order to convey
him to the nearest cliff and hurl him
therefrom.
On Romance:
I do not like to think so, but we
have many base impulses that we tend
to dress up in more romantic apparel.
On the English Language:
I never metaphor I didn't like.
Our language, like our currency is
being devalued every day.
On Art vs. Literature:
A picture is worth a thousand
words (or about 4 typed, double-spaced
pages).
On Life After the Eighties:
I guess the "Fall of Communism"
and "Disarmament" seemed kind of
anticlimactic and now our eyes turn
inward and we think "Ya know, a good
nuclear war would've done us a lot of
good." I think we miss the potentiality
of a life in a nuclear wasteland.
On Paranoia:
Total paranoia is total awareness.
On Commerce:
It seems to be a world of retail
beauty and wholesale ugliness.
On Writing:
I think my problem may be that my
target audience doesn't read.
