We're all just manifestations of processes of the universe, so to speak - not really separate from it, since the universe is everything.

So... yeah, I think I can get along with that idea.

I think Sagan popularized that thought.

If you think it out it’s indisputable.

I've never actually checked up on who that Sagan guy is. I keep hearing his name mentioned.

I think it's a beautiful thought, kind of.

But it’s also raw undeniable science

You know, you can't pull yourself up by your bootstraps without bending over. And on that day, I'll be standing right behind him.

After thousand of years The Old Man of the Mountain collapsed 15 years ago today. You had to drive way up into the White Mountains to see it. Was a real treat as a young kid.

Was so iconic to New Hampshire folk that it was overwhelmingly voted to be on the back of the Granite State quarter.

It fell during the middle of the night and folks were gobsmacked for a long time to realize it was really gone.

LOL

It'll make you happy that my friend told me if he were my therapist he'd tell me to cut the hair because it's the cause of all my problems.

Weird night. Went to the strip club and my friend who literally spent two days straight spamming my facebook inbox threatening to kick my ass if he ever saw me in Magna again walks up and buys me a drink and apologizes and I literally laughed in his ****ing face so hard. I completely and disrespectfully laughed in his face and said, "I thought you were going to kick my ass, dude?" It's moments like those that really bring me up.

And Batlord, I'll try as hard as I can to pull myself up. I can't end depression but hopefully I'll learn to cope with it in a way where it doesn't consume me.

Edit: I might be a nihilist but I'm not a pessimist.
