Re-revolution


It's a Friday afternoon and I've got quite some material to churn out for a meeting in 6 hours. Progress is slow. But when the going gets tough, the go-er gets weird and startling revelations.

Sometimes, for the brightest ideas to materialise, one needs only to look around in the old attic, with an ounce of curiosity and a fair bit of patience. Maybe a bit of luck too. After all, Einstein had Newton to disprove and Edison had Tesla to remove.

Similarly, I think I was most obscenely naive from age 14 to 16; some would argue that it's never stopped. But then again, I'd never have arrived at where I am now if those years never came to pass. And I'll probably think the same thought a few years down the road.

Which is why it's such a pity that my desktop is currently malfunctioning. 5 years worth of precious musty archives, including school stuff, church stuff, music files and what-have-yous.

So maybe desperate times don't really call for desperate measures, definitely not separate measures. I just need to remember how unconventional things used to be, then set them in stone again.
