In control?

You are cruising on the highway of fate thinking that you are in control, and that you seem to know where you are headed. Think again you child of god, things ain't the way you think they are....

hey tis aint a post on de pil-o-sophical stuf of life, but just a few thoughts on why i(some men?) go in for fancy expensive gadgets,or become golfers or why some men/i feel a great affinity towards computers? (hey did you notice the way i switched i/some men to some men/i?...hohoho)

is life so out of control for you , that you need to control some inanimate object,to feel in control of your life or fate???

and the funny part of this is that when you are young(below 30?) you generally do not feel the need to control anything , and you sure are cruising the highway of fate with no care or thought,in your youthful mind.

hey its altogether a different matter that when you are young you generally cannot affort to buy these expensive toys or procure golf clubs or afford the golf club membership.

you grow older and when you see your monthly paycheck surviving and leaving behind a few bucks at the end of 30 days, you now start getting all responsible and want to save and all that crap.

you do that for a few years and then you realise that this aint going to amount to nothing much,and the first inklings (hey a lot of shit happens during 30+ years of living,right?all that beer and smoking, remember?) to the fact that you aint in control at all of the rollercoster you called life, this is when your subconscious mind kicks in and tells you to go buy that complicated, expensive piece of equipment to compensate for the fact that you do not control nuts-you guys figure out what tickles your wallet,mine was photography.

i know a few guys who buy thin titanium sticks and wack little round hard balls(yelling "FORE" everynow and then...i wonder what that is all about, fore hmmmm, and play,why does that sound so familiar?) all around 200+ acres of mother earth for about 4-6 hours on a sunday,then sit down drink beer and talk about what they did the last 6 hours. i am dreading that day, i think i am kind of safe as of now, let me go pickup some more expensive lenses(he he he!)

anyway to get back to why i started this post.

men need to hold things in their hand, twirl a few tiny knobs or install the new browser, (no one complains,least of the equipment in your hand! and the company which makes these toys laugh most of the way to the bank.... hey by the way was something wrong with the old browser?) and feel on top of the world.

is it not easier to buy a amplifier/computer/home theater or whatever,rather than building one?

these are the pacifists.

the aggressors,i think the more "out of control" men, get onto the great outdoors, wacking balls or shooting stuff out of the air.

to sum it up, if you think you are in control...keep feeling good about that. but remember you aint.

Worm hole "theory!"

"worm holes help woodpeckers feed easier. "

aaah the thought felt good, then i googled and i came across various coloured holes...went into a tail spin for some time, or was that a space-time warp?

scotty beam me up!

what connects a Blackhole to a whitehole? a wormhole?

when i was a kid i was working with a very "dense"(!) concept of a blackhole, and today when i was trawling the google i came across a concept of white hole. a kind of anti-blackhole, where everything gets spit out instead of sucked in.

Schwarzschild worm hole. mind blowing stuff.

wonder what went on in asimov's and a.c. clark's minds, was there some connection from a different universe into their heads? some sort of wormhole?

wonder when someone will come up a transport system based on this! when it happens would everybody be just casual users ? or would they be wonderstruck by the process which enables them to traverse across time and space?

wonder what my great-great-grandparents would have thought of a computer or the internet or blogging?

why are we seeing so many techonological changes in such a short period of time, what has happened that human invention process is operating at such a high accelerated phase of recent.
is there some sort of "Alien" inputs being provided,or is this technology transfer through a wormhole. who has opened the wormhole?

why has life become so fastpaced? once upon a time the children played, with no thoughts on the passage of time ...and when i see now..hey it is still the same.....

what is wrong with us grown ups?
