What's It All About, Alfie?

I don't like to boast.  That being said, I have been blessed with an intellect that allows me to understand reality a bit deeper than most.  It's like the difference between Newton's concept of reality and Quantum Mechanics when I compare myself to friends and acquaintances.  My one friend with whom I can talk about physics is also my flying buddy and we spend a lot of time talking about both things. 

However, the more I have learned about reality, the less content I am.  It has resulted in me becoming a sceptic just about everything.  Politics, religion, economics...to name a few. 

The point is that, I guess, ignorance is bliss.....

Celebrity Death

We've all spent the last week or so mourning the death of Whitney Houston, one of the great vocalists we've enjoyed hearing over the past thirty or so years.  Sad as the situation is, it was almost predictable.  Ms Houston spent her time and her fortune trying to chemically alter reality while ignoring her great gift she could've continued to pass on to her fans. 

Sometimes, reality is a real bitch.  People treat you bad.  You experience aches and pains.  The enviorment isn't always pretty.  Some days you eats the bear; some days the bear eats you.  Life goes on. 

I'll admit that I have taken an pill or two to get rid of a headache but taking a pill to make yourself happy is a fantasy.  Things sort themselves out and, if you have the benefit of nearly unending wealth, your options are much greater than most.  Do something nice for someone, if all else fails.
