odd being well into yr 40's and giving people too much credit - especially these guys with the full beard and the comb-over do - it is a powerful attack, really. Somewhere a 'thought' is generated in an unexplored part of my .... (what's the word?) that they are older, more experienced, more knowledgeable of the intense (yet subtle) undulating bucking of existence.

until that is, you listen to them for a couple of minutes or take in their art - or whatever it is they produce. Then, invariably, you (me) understand they are, approximately, idiot twenty-year olds. Nothing personal, but I have decided to put this down as stable fact on which to base further actions.

strictly speaking, there are no stable facts.

you will never build anything with that attitude :)

As for the ditch thing - I have given my brain over to a little willful prejudice for a spell - I will go nuts otherwise. Hopefully no one will get hurt.

on the contrary. all that i have already built, is on the painful realization that things change. in fact they have changed dramatically during building. ;)

amen to the other thing. it just seemed to me that every now and then i see people holding inexplicably high regard for something, then getting disillusioned and damning the thing altogether.
