Act II


thank you, please hold the applause until the performance is concluded (burp)... or don't because then the last entry in the series gets all the comments and the component entries feel like nobody cares about them (entries have feelings, you know?), giving them an inferiority complex and gas, for which there is no cure... and nobody should ever suffer the malady of gas for which there is no cure...

not even in a Monty Python sketch...

recently, in reading diaries here again, quite at random, mind you, because I have not had time to actually catch up on the people I want to catch up on like Tim or Nicole or Z0tl or so many others...

and when it comes down to looking in someone's eyes and speaking the truth, this online world is the epitome of illusion (and for those who don't believe life is illusion, this online world is as real as the walls they live inside and the routine they call their lives, nowhere, man... but isn't that a bit like you and me)...

and how many make a fantasy so real it becomes a phenomenon that requires investigation as if it really mattered... but it's all relative in the end, we make matter what we want to make matter, even if it's an illusion...

I believe LO might not know PF, the latter being from middle Europe, or perhaps Germany (but I was hoping for a trip to Amster, dam, to go out for a relaxing smoke), and the former being allegedly from San Mateo, but San Diego could be just as close to Singapore for the moon to fit through the eye of a needle in an alternative universe...

still, if I could be down under I would be a happy camper letting her ride (or any of the f a n t a s i e s that may all, in the end, lead nowhere, man (deja vu)...

and spending much childhood years growing up listening to NYC radio (WNEW-FM, once the greatest radio station in the universe) I recall the fun and hassle of celebrity that lead to the fun of secret identities that may seem, to those out of the loop, to be some sort of betrayal and yet, if there was no real trust to begin with, what can be betrayed?...

all of life is a stage and we are but players, albeit most choose to play the part of audience or critic, the internet is a playground for the imagination primarily due to it's inherent anonymity and mystery... you choose whether you find a a plethora of paranoia or a playground of pleasure, but none of this has anything to do with him or the members of the band, really...

people seem to like to think they are in control (though of what exactly, I may never know) and it would seem, looking at human behavior, that there are many challenged by the word, truth is love and that seems to scare most people of intellect because there's no rationale behind the hormonal imbalance caused by the emotional flood that is love...

and being out of control scares people, but even more, those who've let go and been left wanting, left behind, left beaten, left alone, left for dead after giving their all to love leaves many in what the quasi-science of psychology calls post traumatic shock disorder (or perhaps even toxic shock syndrome of a sort as the same hormones that brought the sweetest euphoria and wanting to live forever now bring the feeling of being poisoned and wanting to die)...

there are drugs that can attempt to set the hormonal and cranial chemical imbalances right, but all that is still mostly theoretical and highly experimental at this point (frighteningly so, if you know how many children are being used as guinea pigs in the quest for the perfect soma)...

but I believe (whatever belief may be, the most powerful force or illusion of all, perhaps) the only way to cure what ails the broken heart is to forgive one's self for all that went wrong and learn to live with it and dare to love again (even though the first cut may actually be the deepest, purest, and best/worst cut of all)...

the challenge is that the loving again part requires the cooperation of someone else, so there's no controlling the healing process and there's great risk that the very process itself will tear away yet another little piece of your heart out, baby (and we know how Janis handled that, but suicide may be painless and it may bring on many changes, but it may bring on nothing and while nothing may seem to be exactly what the doctor ordered, it's not really what you want because if it was, you'd not be hurting)...

but here on the net the illusion of life and emotion is in our face all the time if we don't put a paper bag over our heads and blinders on... looking back on all the browsing browsing browsing I've done and how I tried to pass along some wonderful life and emotions (via links) along the way, only to find the art and wisdom and creativity and wonder and fun is gone as if it never was and all we find are error pages, 404s, broken links, locked sites, and a disappointing waste of time, highlights the transiency of the illusion that real people are on the other end of the computer screen...

we can only hope that the others we link to over the years maintain their illusion as long as we do, but sadly, most do not... and it turns all the browsing and linking and enthusiasm for finding and sharing online into a waste of time, depressing when viewed this way, so I don't as much as possible (because I prefer happier illusions even as the world of humanity seems to thrive on watching tragedy over and over and even staying in a constant state of rage over it {rap, anyone?} and sometimes I've just got to give it back in the language of the troll because I will not be another brick in the wall so there)...
