Life is full of many paths, and we all follow a light through darkness. We never know what is coming just up a head. Once in a while we look back and see (to our surprise), that everything is illuminated! We stand for a moment and look back at the wondrous things we have done and wonderful people we have met, then we glance over our shoulder and see the light. It's always just beyond the dark, unknown horizon.
- In Memory of William Thacker
Write or wrong, it's still in poor taste.

The Human Equation
It's always struck as nothing short of amazing how people fancy themselves as the protagonist in life. They are always neutral as far as they are concerned. For the most part they are right. We tend to view things in the good versus evil categories. We demonize those we see as villains and build those we like up as heroes. Such I guess is the human condition.
Does this make those of us considered as bad actually evil? No. Far from it. Because this is one of those little ironies life seems to be full of. It's basically a paradox. Another version of the truth. Yet through it all we (the individual), is only as evil or as good as they are willing to go.
This brings up another fundamental question: Is there just one truth? Yes. There is. The problem with the truth is it is elusive. It is woven as deep in the human interaction as death is the natural extension of life. To see the whole truth as a singularity one would have to view every life that has lived, is living and will live. One single consciousness.
Although I do not believe in a one true God, I do believe in one consciousness that we are all part of. Once we die (or so we are told), we see our life flash before our eyes. For this to have any meaning what so ever, one must see that the truth can't be seen fully until we understand what we have experienced in it's entirety.
This in turn brings up another and very intriguing question. What then is the some of a human? Simply this: I am everything and I am nothing.

Celebrity E-Mail: Brad Pitt
Dear Brad Pitt,
I keep seeing you everywhere I go! I guess your a big deal eh? (Sorry, I always type with a Canadian accent). I just have a few quick questions for you. First of all I was wondering why you prefer the flat cap to other types of hats? You wear it well enough, yet I find it a little odd that a sex symbol would choose it over say a fedora.
Next I was pondering who did you prefer to be inside, Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie? I mean both of them are all right, but you sir are a sex symbol!!! Why would you settle for only okay when you could have outstanding? Seriously sir, you have Captain James T. Kirk status! Well except there are no kinky alien girls, but you of all people should know what I am talking about.
Last question is a little more personal, so I would not be offended if you do not answer it. Do you think that having adopted children has hampered you from wanting your own biological kids? I know it has become fashionable in Hollywood to have kids that are not only not yours, but are also from different countries. I mean do you really need one from every part of the world when you do not have one from your own genetic strain? Anyway, I know you must be very busy trying to dodge the paparazzi so I would like to thank you for your time you have taken out to read this meager letter.
Mad props in every language,
