Alright!

Got that job done. You now know everything there is to know about me. This only leaves whatever stuff may be residing in the category of everything you and I do not know about me. I say this jokingly of course. There is nothing I don't know about me. But I wonder about you: I wonder why are you here. I wonder what is your interest in me? Not that I need to know, not at all.

It hits me that maybe you are a fish. You've been swimming around aimlessly for years and you bit. So here you are on my line. You wonder where this scenerio will lead you. If so I have good news. There is no barb on my hook. You can just shake it out of your fishy mouth and go on your way. No Problemo.

On the other hand you can stick around for the time being realizing there is no hook to be worried about. No physical hook. But there are psychological hooks. You might be hooked psychologically. You worry about that, which brings us back to the original question. Are you hooked?

We don't know. Certainly I don't know. Maybe you know. Maybe not. One thing is certain: you are a fish and you got hooked in midstream and here you are.

1135 And I am enjoying what is going on here. I have abandoned my previous paranoid formulations regarding drog vs blog. I am writing this on The Web while my other computer just sits there doing nothing. Whoa! I just loaded Beethoven's Piano Concerto number one and it is now playing. This leaves my other computer with nothing to do but run around in tiny circles. Do you know what I mean by 'tiny?' No? Here is what I mean by 'tiny.' I will explain tiny using old technology: computers spend much of their time running around in circles. There is no question about that. In many cases computers spend huge amounts of time in that regard. In fact I would like to suggest that computers are actually souls which have been condemned by The Gods to run forever in a loop. Silicon Souls. Here is an example from Basic:

10 x=0
20 x=x+1
30 if x >= 10 then x=0
40 if y >= 10 then y=0: goto 10
50 y=y+1
60 if y >= 10 then y=0: goto 10

If I am not mistaken this is a primitive example of an infinite loop. This loop can only be exited in the case of Z. But there is no Z in the above code. Therefore,

70 z= 0: if Z > 0 then goto 90
80 goto 10
90 print 'Congratulations. You are free.': end

But you will never see 90. Not in that code. This was what I found to be so fascinating about computer code. I think you can see the meaning of eternity in that code. May I give you an example? Jez? Senk ju beddy motch.

10 you are a zero
20 but you can rise above zeroness
30 but you need to rise in the accepted way
40 fuck up and you are a zero
50 Jesus has noticed you
60 but do not get uppity
70 otherwise you will burn
80 goto you are a zero
90 Congratulations. You deprogrammed yourself.

Time to wrap this up. Happy Birthday Bubbah!
