  • What are you going to do when the bitches ain’t got no love?
    What are you going to do when the dudes wage war like a sport?


     


    I really do believe that were gripped by a war culture that’s bereft of love.
    I believe we’re collectively deeper into the muck than we can rake.


     


    I just finished running.  60 miles over the last two weeks.  *whew*


     


    Science magazine yesterday reported that the Earth is getting dimmer—significantly so—each year now, and especially so once again since the year 2000.  Actually what they mean to say is that the sky is getting dimmer from the earthbound perspective while the Earth is actually getting brighter (reflecting more sunlight) as seen from space.  Friends, this is a serious problem.  I suggest you stock up on batteries soon.


     


    I could have been at a pool party today (now), but I’m seriously enjoying my solitude instead counting renegade satellites of love orbiting about my head.
