Live Paradox

A journeyman’s ramblings: He is no everyman, but one who turns a carefully focused eye on the events of the madcap world around him. He aims to point out what others miss and draw attention to the patterns that exist amongst the chaos.

4:19 PM - Pre-emptive Self-Sacrificing

Music: Red and Black - The ABC Cafe from Les Miserables

It’s a matter of time before it swings my way.

The fate is unavoidable. There is nothing I can do to prevent it. Rather than flee what I cannot hope to escape, I will stand and face my fate. I prepare myself for the blow, praying that I won’t wince when the blade falls. Good, bad – it is accepted.

Words, unbidden, come to my lips: “It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done.”

The meme is coming and I shall answer it before others call me on it: What are five of my weird habits:

5) If I am going a decent distance, I like to have a compass on my person.

4) After I watch a movie, I like to go to the
Internet Movie Database and read quotes and trivia about the flick.

3) I often tap the top step with my toe before entering a building.

2) When I purchase a book, if there is a sticker on it I will peel it off and stick it on the inside cover.

1) I save those “Inspected by” labels that you find in clothing… just in case…
