no description, advice:

if you ever find yourself stalking someone on a dark road at night be wary of their body language.

say you are following someone and a bus is coming up behind the both of you. if they pause and wait for the bus to pass in order to see where it is going you might be tempted to think that your prey is unaccustomed to the area and not too sure of the bus schedule.

in theory, this makes your task easier.

listen: it is also more than possible that your intended victim is not lost or ignorant of the bus schedule.
in fact, it is possible that your victim knows the area and the bus schedule perfectly. it could be, however, that your victim is simply hopeful that the bus is his, just very early (or late).

if this is true, your job is now a good 23% harder.
this means that your victim has hope in his heart. a person with hope in his heart is more likely to put up a struggle than a person with no hope.
even if a person has no life, they will still put up a fight because aside from the hope that random buses could be theirs they also harbor the hope that one day they will in fact have a life.

to that end, never assume that a person who is squinting at a bus is lost. he may simply be hopeful.

unless of course you were looking for a hopeful person in the belief that if you eat their heart that hope will be transferred over to you.

good luck with that.

I hope that what I have written will be of some assistance.

all I ever wanted was to pick apart the day
put the pieces back together my way

"The inferno of the living is not something that will be; if there is one, it is what is already here, the inferno where we live every day, that we form by being together. There are two ways to escape suffering it. The first is easy for many: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it. The second is risky and demands constant vigilance and apprehension: seek and learn to recognize who and what, in the midst of the inferno, are not inferno, then make them endure, give them space."

"For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state and our education system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us."

"The kindly God who lovingly fashioned each and every one of us and sprinkled the sky with shining stars for our delight—that God is, like Santa Claus, a myth of childhood, not anything a sane, undeluded adult could literally believe in. That God must either be turned into a symbol for something less concrete or abandoned altogether."

"If God really existed, it would be necessary to abolish him."

This is what it's all about
This is what it's all about
This is what it's all about
This is what it's all about
This is what it's all about
This is what it's all about
This is what it's all about

so don't think you can fool me with your political tricks
political right, political left, you can keep your politics
government is government and all government is force
left or right, right or left, it takes the same old course
oppression & restriction, regulation, rule and law
the seizure of that power is all your revolution's for
you romanticise your heroes, quote from Marx and Mao
well, their ideas of freedom are just oppression now

nothing changed for all the death that their ideas created
it's just the same fascistic games, but the rules aren't clearly stated
nothing's really different 'cause all government's the same
they can call it freedom, but slavery is the game

gas mask is the saviour

Dr. Strangelove

This is a review, but with spoilers. As such, I've decided to post it as an article. You might want to watch the movie before reading this, of course, you might not. I don't know, I'm not a mind reader.
