So, I didn't post last night. Had myself a little Firefly Marathon. Damn fine show, Highly Recommended. If you know me, you know that's high praise. I don't watch TV. I don't really watch Movies. But Firefly and Serenity, are extremely good. It's well written, well thought out, somewhat realistic for a world set 500 years in the future.
I've been thinking.. and letting the future unfold gradually before my thoughts. And it scares me. On many, many levels. My personal future is starting to blossom, and many paths are unraveling before me, waiting for the myriad choices I will have to make in the coming weeks. There are only two results for these paths in the nearest of ends, and that is that I will either succeed in Seattle, or I will not. If I don't, I will make a return trek to Columbus, gather myself, and determine what steps to take next. However, if I do, then there stand again another full myriad of choices and paths. I care not to contemplate these paths, as they are irrelevant presently. I focus on the now, and on tomorrow. The next week sits powerfully in my mind, enticing me forward and coercing me to taking careful steps. On a much grander scale, it is the future of this country that disturbs me. You see, I deeply wish I could hold a pride in my homeland. I wish I could comfortably say "I'm an American". It's not because I hate this country, it's because the future of it, drastic change notwithstanding, is down. I hope, fervently, that we can pull the country up from its endless downward cycle.. I'm not sure anything can, but I do hope for it.
I don't have much else to say, and have work tomorrow, so I'll hopefully get some more written. My goal is to write up at least another piece or two for world building. G'night all.
