Well, life seems to be happening still, at least for the moment. Lots of things going on, including the Klu Klux Klan Con -oops!- I mean the Republican Convention in Tampa, Florida. There's also a hurricane in that neighborhood, but unfortunately, it won't be whisking all those horrible excuses for human beings over the rainbow. Although I'd settle for anywhere far from our shores. You know, with all the lying, cheating, and stealing of democracy, mainly in the form of attempts at preventing many Americans from exercising their voting rights, these rich and almost exclusively white, fat cats have crossed the line, and become traitors to the principals this country was founded on. As far as I'm concerned, they are traitors to democracy, and should all be prosecuted for treason. Their current strategy seems to be coupling all their usual tactics together, which would be turning the truth around, or spinning the truth if you prefer, outright lying, and spending billions of dollars on political ads. I really hate those people. My Grandmother, if she were alive, would tell me it's wrong to hate anyone, so for her, I'll just say, I really don't like those damn #%^*...well, you get the idea.
And, once again, to quote a famous fictional character, that's all I have to say about that.
Albert is doing some travelling at the moment. He's trying to unite some of his brothers of the fur (bears of all colors) in his battle against the destruction of the planet by the rich and corrupt humans. Can't say I blame him in the least. Lucky for me he's made me an honorary bear, of sorts. He can be a bit scary when he's upset. Anyroad, he doesn't feel he can be away for too long, since he believes my life is in danger, and he has decided to be a kind of unofficial bodyguard. I'm twice lucky, since he seems to like me. At least for a human.
Hmmm. What else is going on...not much I can think of at the moment.
Finished reading Michael Cisco's The San Veneficio Canon. Yikes. Don't even know what to say there. His language creates amazing images, and I can't even begin to say how incredibly strange the atmosphere of his story is from beginning to end. And that's not even mentioning the weirdness of the story itself. I still am not completely sure about how I feel about the book, which includes two novels, his award winning The Divinity Student, and its sequel, The Golem. I am quite impressed. And I can tell you this, I will not be forgetting the characters, or the story, anytime soon.
Moving on...A barbecue that some of my Chinese friends, and English learners, had planned for today was cancelled, due to potential bad weather. A shame, but I'm sure we'll reschedule it, or something like it, for another time.
Final thoughts for the day. The world, is a lot larger than we can possibly conceive of at any given time. But the most important part of the world, is what is right in front of us, and all those we share it with. We do need to look out for each other, regardless of our differences. So, be kind, stand fast when needed, and remember, corporations are not people. But animals are. Or at the least, they deserve our protection. Eddie made me put that in. He is right, though. I have met far fewer animals than people that I didn't like. But, after all, I am only human, and I am very far from perfect.
