Seems like it can go from sugar to sh*t in the time it takes to spin a wheel lately. Probably its reflective of my own personal stuff/recent life events, but it feels like security is just an illusion--and not even a very good one at that! Too many people are living on a razor's edge, and any missed step will leave them bleeding out. What makes it even worse is that missed step might belong to somebody ELSE and they still end up hurt by it. I find I am craving some stability or even a brief sense of security--for even just a few days!

Sorry--probably not the light hearted response you were looking for, Rick...

It seems to be a combo between Twilight Zone and Family Feud. I wish it was more like TZ!...

But everyone's fighting amongst themselves, you got this, gimmee mine...so let's return to the 60's, please... and LAUGH outrageously with Joann Whorly and Dick Martin and Artie Johnson!

The Twilight Zone Rick...because a lot of what's going on and the way people are acting makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. It's truly as if we are living in the twilight zone...it's just plain WEIRD..lol.

Things have definitely been getting weirder, but there are always possibilities, new perceptions, awareness, awakenings. I think The Twilight Zone pointed the way to those things too.

There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call The Twilight Zone.

because it is an election year. Rmoney and most of the teaparty candidates are typical gong show contestants.

Have any of you read "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind," or seen the movie? Chuck Barris is still messing with everyone.
