  Am I hopeless....

Faith. I have a real hard time with this one. Blindly abandoning yourself to something that may very well turn out to be wrong. And let's face it, no matter what you personally believe to be true, no one, NO ONE really knows anything for sure. In a way, I admire people who do have that kind of conviction; it probably makes them happier. At least they have a direction. This is not to say that I don't have things that I feel may be true, but I'm not so arrogant as to say "I Know" or " I'm Right". But, I wonder if these vague notions are enough . They certainly don't comfort me in times of trouble or keep me warm at night......

I'm going to let Rush's Neil Peart weigh in on this now 'cause I think he may be on to something:



I don't have faith in faith
I don't believe in belief
You can call me faithless
I still cling to hope
And I believe in love
And that's faith enough for me

I've got my own spirit level for balance
To tell if my choice is leaning up or down
And all the shouting voices
Try to throw me off my course
Some by sermon, some by force
Fools and thieves are dangerous
In the temple and market place

  BDay Thoughts

Birthdays are funny things. Some people hate'em, some people love'em. I fall somewhere in between. On the plus side, I love celebrating with people far and wide, loved and loathed. It's my day and it's a big deal to me damn it. I do however hate the thought of another year of my life going by, since there are really so very precious few of them. Time does make us wiser but it also makes us take more and more pills, ointments and assorted lubes and jellies.

Well whatever...I'm honestly in the best shape of my life so I'm gonna hang my hat on that for now and not look back too too often.....unless of course I feel like something is following me....again.....like that creepy slug...>shutter<.......
