Modern life is geared towards a reasonably predictable future, thirty year mortgages, seven year certificates of deposit, hog belly futures and retirement plans. But recent events have convinced me that I can neither predict nor plan for the future, so fuck it. When I get there I'll know what to do, I always know what to do in foriegn countries. Why not the future? The past is another story. You can't change it, but you can break away from it and leave it and the people in it behind. My objective I suppose, is to float in a never ending perfect present, like the captain of a 50 footer luxury yacht, dealing with the moments realities, aware but not concerned about where I've been, and charting a general course forward, subject to quick changes depending on winds, tides, and whatever I can see on the immediate horizon. |
