Entry #174 05.10.118 AQPosted on January 07, 2008 @ 04:41AM 18:00 Hours Atlantian Outback LR HQ (A Rundown Shack…) It’s almost time for me to leave. This is my last entry in this data pack. I got a new one after my graduation. Boy technology still amazes me. My new one can do a wide variety of functions from shaving, calendar, video conferencing, nail clipping (!!! who really needs that?!!), storage, and much more. I’ve been tiding up my place and putting most of my possessions in storage. Being the Vyberhacker that I am, I unearthed a few ancient books from the past. I recently read one of them, “Slaughterhouse Five” by Kurt Vonnegut. Man his writing is hilarious and satirical, but he makes you think about your world. I love this passage from the book: “The most important thing I learned on Tralfamadore was that when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past…All moments, past, present, and future, always have existed, always will exist…When a Tralfamadorian sees a corpse, all he thinks is that the dead person is in bad condition in that particular moment, but that same person is just fine in plenty of other moments. Now, when I myself hear that somebody is dead, I simply shrug and saw what the Tralfamadorians say about dead people, which is ‘so it goes’.” Those riders I killed are dead in my time, but alive somewhere else…. I will hunt them down and kill them… HAHa What am I thinking? I don’t own a time machine or a dimension warp drive. Time to pack. I’ve been working on a poem for Amy. I think I’ll enter it in my new DP for good luck. Sic Lok Morrales |
