No other species has teenagers. Even our closest relatives, the great apes, move smoothly from their juvenile to adult life phases. So why do humans spend an agonising decade or so skulking around in hoodies?

Our civilization is increasingly mired in "passing time," J. B. Priestley has written; even avowedly religious people tend to assume that "Eternity" means no more than "endless time." And this empty, conventional linear time, within which modern folk live and move and consume but can scarcely be said to have their being, "goes on and on, simply toward a future that these very people refuse to consider, but it cannot go in and in, toward the hidden springs and fountains of life."

Hey Heather. Thanks. They removed his prostate yesterday. He's doing good though. Just spoke with mom and they are releasing him today. We have to get together soon. I'm on vacation 7/2 - 7/15. Maybe we can all get together 4 dinner? Let me know.

Mom just called. All dads tests came back negative after the surgery. Whew! Now I guess I can stop being such a freak lately and sleep good tonight.

Once upon a time, Luke | Kirk | Neo | Harry was living a miserable life. Feeling disconnected from his friends and family, he dreams about how his life could be different. One day, he is greeted by Obi Wan | Captain Pike | Trinity | Hagrid and told that his life is not what it seems, and that due to some circumstances surrounding his birth | birth | birth | infancy he was meant for something greater. *sigh*

i use twitter search to find out what people are saying about asbury park. lots of "just went to a restaurant in AP & didn't get mugged" type stuff, peppered with bruce springsteen references.
