A Viceral Memory Dump

This is a summation of a few things that need addressing. I had a conversation, a beyond mind blowing conversation, with a man in the oil business. He called himself Jack. Our conversation began with talk of the economy. His opinion was that American consumers and culture wanted "wimps" in the places of business. He told me that in all of this "crisis", all of our "troubles" with oil and gasoline, he is doing better than he has ever done before. What does this tell you? Man invents things to keep himself worried. We like to know that we still fuel our man made machines. We talked for a while and after a time Jack excused himself because of matters that needed attending to. He closed with this, and I quote, "Let me tell you something. My daddy was a farmer. I was raised a farmer. He taught me the best lesson I have ever learned. He would say 'Put your head down and push. Quit chasin rabbits and push'. I never forgot that and this culture needs to learn it too." It speaks to the lack of common sense that seems to be abundant right now. This man learned his way. I do not mean to call him a perfect human being, but since when does that ever matter. He is just a man who has made a little something for himself and his family. Why is that so wrong? AND WHY CAN'T MOST PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT?!?!?!? Why do they lack what he has? Goddammit. Who knows. Fuck it, right? Turtle always wins the race. Those that can endure, survive, come out ahead in the end. SURVIVAL IS WHAT WE NEED NOW!!! COMMON SENSE SURVIVAL!! bitch, bitch, bitch.

Quit the rabbit chasing indeed.
