chutesandladders I remember some kind of law from physics that said you could either know the location of something or its speed, but not both at the same time. I never really understood it until now. It has something to do with time, a moment in time versus a period of time. Some changes in my life reminded me of this. I've spent a long period of time working towards a moment when I could finally claim satisfaction and happiness. Found the right girl to love. Found a nice place to live with good neighbors. Found the right place to work with people I like. Found places I like to go and people I like to see. I've worked hard to find these things for myself and nurture my surroundings. Contentment had settled in. I remember some other law that stated that a body at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by external forces. That was an easy one to understand, and an easy one to forget. My best bud at work got promoted out. All of our favorite neighbors are moving away. The places we enjoy are changing their menus or losing the people we enjoyed seeing. External forces at work on my happy slice of life. And isn't there some other law that says that everything in the universe is constantly switching from matter to energy back and forth. Which makes me think of the point in time versus the period of time I mentioned above. Maybe things exist either in a state or a process. But if the conservation of energy is to be believed, then everything must always either be in motion or changing into something else. That leans very strongly in favor of the process viewpoint mentined above. But I want my happy state to exist. Grand Unification be damned, it should be possible. A true fool's paradise. I've been reminded that life is a process after all, and in the nicest way. The external changes all came from people I care about moving out of my life along their own paths to happiness as I had gathered them into my life in my quest for contentment. Moments join together to form this path like links in a chain. Each link bonded to the preceeding link while providing the possibility for the next link to join. Maybe more like the frames printed on a movie's film. Chains can be too binding. Fortunately, I still have my girl. And hopefully she understands that our lives are a process and not a state, and that all things will continue to change and develop. It really is the journey that matters, not the destination. The thrill of the chase, not the kill. Moments don't really exist. Only Momentum. Guide that momentum in the direction you want your life to go and enjoy every moment as it flashes by. Every movie has an ending. Especially those annoying French ones where everyone dies, 'cos it's true. But don't worry about that. Just remember that all energy must be conserved. And matter is just energy tying to exist in the moment. And Love is the Law. This post was inspired by a game of Chutes and Ladders that I played with my four year old niece on New Year's Eve. ( Yes. I am a party animal. ) In the game I landed on the long ladder that went all the way to the top. On my next turn I landed on the long chute that went all the way back to the bottom, and we laughed and laughed. And on my next turn I landed back on the long ladder that took me back to the top, but I still lost. Lots of fun times. That's all that matters. And I invented the Slappo Joe sandwich. Make a standard Sloppy Joe and if there is any of that Taco Dip lying around ( You know the dip with the bottom layer of refried beans, then salsa and sour cream with diced onions, tomatoes and peppers, and covered with shredded cheese. ) slap a heaping spoonful of it on the Sloppy Joe and smash it all together with the top of the bun. I had Two, and my girl still loves me. That says a lot right there!!!!! Most people are other people... FUCKING CHARACTER LIMIT!!! ~Oscar Wilde |

Its called the seven layer dip. I've some in my fridge. Not a fan of the other part of this sandwich though. I must say, the making of it had me laughing! Tortilla chips made with blue corn and fennel, is what I've eaten mine with. .. You should try it some time, its so yummy!

Ya know, Spinner... Quantum physicists have been crunchin' numbers and letters (I use those terms loosely) for more years than can ever be squished into any single period of time, in some gargantuan effort to braid all them loose strings into a "Theory of Everything". You come along and, in a few short paragraphs, compress the most complicated equations yet to be devised by the human mind... to no more than a simple Tex-Mex taco sandwich. Michio Kaku--eat your freakin' heart out. Solar... BTW: Jim Croce tried to put time in a bottle--ya see what good it did him; yes?

Your blog made me recall the lyrics from a John Lennon song titled Beautiful Boy. "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans"

Kissy, welcome here. So do you use the fennel like celery sticks? Sounds good! Solar, Most of the problems of modern lofe could be solved with a hearty serving of TexMex chow.
