Join me on this venture, and we may find that we can extrapolate more out of this innocuous banality of existence. Or, we can part before casting off, and this is also just as well.

During this learning curve, I ask that you bear with me. I do not refer to the tangential learning curve of life; not everything has to have deeper reflections. I mean the site.

Eugene Periodical
For the keen eye, this is no periodical. Just a bare-bones, subjective exploration of perception and processing which ought not to be taken too seriously. If this were a crossword puzzle, I would recommend folding it up and placing it next to the toilet in wait for the proper free-time to partake. As this is not, I will leave it to you to decide. I wouldn't suppose you'd want me to read it for you as well, right? Take some responsibility and decide for yourself.

Today I petition you. Tomorrow will hold the same, only without the explicit statement of such.

So I pondered the thought on how to sublet a telephone line. The process would parallel the real estate venture. Then I realized that this was an answering service. And, no one trusts the answering service. Not even a client who rents out this additional line. Voicemail, even the machine would be cheaper, and do you know who leaves messages after hours? No one, as it's easier to just call back during business hours. So I abandoned the thought on how to sublet a telephone line.

This is Week Two of quitting smoking cold turkey. I haven't felt this sore since the last time I quit smoking cold turkey.

While concluding an afternoon of tailoring the resume, I remembered the countless HR reps who've talked themselves out of their own jobs with their implementation of computerized personality profiles and formulaic online applications. So, I reformatted the resume into a Fortran punchcard. When applying for software engineering, I wrote on the top of this punchcard: "Punchcard resume converted using C compiler and Perl modules." When applying for accounting, I wrote on the top: "Punchcard resume converted using one ledger book and one reference book." When applying for janitorial, I wrote "Punchcard resume converted with reckless abandon, as you need work done and I need work". When applying for human resources, I wrote: "Formulized punchcard resume as basis for job duties. Instructions to utilize formula are released upon subsequent hire." I can go on. Should I go on?

There's this particular bus stop that is stationed under the berth of this tree. And I'm waiting for this bus in the best fashion possible. Some pivotal moments took place at the hands of trees. Newton made the connection of the apple falling due to an unseen force. Adam and Eve gained the knowledge of good and evil. So I continue to think to myself on the majesty of these creations. Is it their beauty that espouses wisdom? Is it their presence that reveals our own simple nature? What other revelations have they withheld from us? And I saw the rear end of this bus I'm waiting for, unsympathetic to the current existential crisis I was having, driving away from me. Stupid trees and stupid me.
