9 out of 10 monkeys believe they are not behind glass

Its over. Thank god.

No more retrospect from me. Let’s move forward, right? Right!

2007 looks to be a good year. Like a wine, but not in the bottled up sense. It sure didn’t start off well with one of the Denver Broncos getting SHOT in the neck on New Years. That sucks. For two main reasons.

He was a dad of two. At 24, I imagine both of his kids are young. Really young.

Second, it happened here in Denver. I hate thinking about the scum of the earth that lives pretty much in the same zip code as me. I always feel like Luke Skywalker in the cantina in Mos Eisley… a little out of place with all the freaks with large guns and grins.

The guns are scary, but the grins honestly are worse. Makes me want to move to the middle of Montana and hide like some recluse with guns of my own. One of those hermits that lives in an old missile silo with enough food and water to last a decade under ground hidden from the world.

But that is silly. We aren’t here to live a life of fear. Fear is for the animal parts of our mind, the parts that tell us to fight or flight. But we have more gray matter above those fears, brains to think beyond the fear.

So you either develop OCD and be afraid of everything, or you take stock of the world and try to avoid the grinning freaks sipping their grok.

And if you can’t… well make sure you have an old guy with a lightsaber watching your back.
