 Thoughts destined to be washed away by the tides of life. |

I've been studying my cover photo for a while now, and it seems to me that it is more than just a photo of what is there that can be seen, more than just three white rocks stacked on a beach. It contains an important question about the future, about what happens long after the photographer has gone. What will happen to our pile of stones when the tide comes in? Will it topple or has the architect built this structure at a safe distance? I don't know what will happen to these words that I stack here on the sand. They may prove safely distant, or they may be swallowed up by a rush of self-doubt. They may be here for a season. They may lose their balance and be scattered by the shoreline, or be hidden away under shifting sands. Perhaps someday, the tides of life will reclaim them. Or maybe that's just a bunch of poetic, romantic nonsense. After all, this is just a blog. |
| Some people ought not to take to social media when they're upset. They make bad decisions. I just saw a video from some guy I've never heard of who apparently is in a band that I've never heard of and to my knowledge, he has never heard of me, either. Nevertheless, he is really upset with me and tells me I'm not allowed to go to his concert. Now normally, I only want to do things that people tell me not to. That’s why I never tell anyone when I am on a diet. If someone says “You’re not allowed to eat that cookie on your diet”, I have to eat ten of them. But, if this guy’s judgment is so bad that he actually aims to stop people from paying him money for his music or for tickets to his concert because they make different political choices to his own, then I'm not sure that he would even understand my coming as a protest. I don't know, maybe it's some strange marketing ploy? Maybe it's reverse psychology? Maybe he really wants lots of people to come but nobody knows who he is and the only way he can get any kind of publicity is to demand that people don’t come to see his band? Actually, I'm sure this is what it is. Because I don't think people from any political camp have ever heard of him. This way he might get some people coming out of spite and a whole lot of other people coming out in support of his ridiculous bigotry and hatred. I guess it's genius in a way. |
