(0376) welcome the new world

today was going to be the day, but everything was gone before we even knew what happened. we stepped outside to find a world devoid of any signs of life. the wind was cold, but that deafening silence sounded beautiful... that is.. until it was taken from us.

this new world was adrift in sleeping pills and toxicating obsessions with other peoples' delusional escapades. the sound of hysteria. everyone was becoming or had already become just another statistic - even all the people you personally grew up knowing... you thought some of them would've surely turned out to be interesting... but maybe that was exactly what was interesting in a sad way.. the fact that they didn't at all. the fact that none of them did.

it could almost lead one to sum up almost everyone in their life into some kind of boring and standard situational comedy that used laugh tracks to set the mood. 'everybody loves raymond' or 'friends' come to mind. thirty years you could sleep through and wake up with possibly nothing exciting having happened.

how did it come to this? that would be the million dollar question..
no.. the gazillion dollar question.

. . . but the truth is probably a gazillion lightyears away, having already evolved past anything we could even conceive to become.

if so, i guess we'll just have to find or create some kind of beauty in this galaxy of swirling shit, at least in our minds - if for anything - to satisfy our hunger for meaning... which most likely keeps us from evolving any further anyway.

happy fucking new year, 2012. this is some really beautiful shit.
