Reality Shift?
We here at Blogagaard have noticed that life is getting strange, more strange than normal. Maybe this is a result of recently reading Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Echo. That crazy verbose Italian really got us thinking. What if there is a secret Plan, run by an underground society that barely knows it exists itself? I know I personally have always assumed there are a hundred million things going on behind my back that I just don't know about, a whole society of movers and shakers with oodles of money and devious schemes, but exactly could their Plan be, anyhow? Are they trying to invent a super cola, a hover car that really works?
We also saw The Matrix again last week and decided we rather live in a fake yet comfortable universe than in the harsh post-enviroment disaster "real" world. We sided with the treacherous villain who almost killed everyone simply to return to the cozy Matrix. Does this mean everyone should move to the suburbs and drive Range Rovers to steady, well-salaried positions? It truly is a conundrum.
Do things seem to be moving faster than they used to? Are things more out of control, or is it simply that we here at Blogagaard never noticed how insane life has always been? Either way, there's a serious reality shift going on here. The earth's crust is cracking.

if it's not a drug-related feeling, it's probably true
I am too poor to afford drugs. Whoever said only poor people do drugs is an idiot. Do you know how much a good, fine grade cocaine runs these days? Mucho dinero, Senior!
Heck, we can barely afford coffee.
I know, man, and coffee is what keeps about three-fourths of this planets industry running!
I can tell you that yes, there is a secret plan. However, the society isn't the Templars, or the Illuminati. What I'm about to reveal here can never leave this blog. Ever.
Halberton has already begun it's quest for worldwide domination. It already has ties to some of the most important world leaders, and is one of the most powerful organizations in the entire world.
I am totally serious here.
PS. Are you now referring to yourself in the plural? I think you are going crazy.
Then there's the society of the Bohemian Grove, of which Cheney is a high-ranking member.
Geoff and I discussed this once. It's actually Tyra Banks who's planning to take over the world. First it was AMerica's Next Top Model, which, if it's already taken over Steph Ash (see blog link)then we're in trouble. Second, there's her new Opra-esque talk show. What next? A small army of ultra-sexy commandos against which all men will be powerless? We are doomed, people. Doomed.
Whatever.
So I take it I'm alone in this reality shift feeling? Or is the nature of relating always shifting, so what I'm trying to say is actually mundane and obvious?
All alone. Sorry, crazy guy.
Well, it won't be the first time. I'll deal.
It's not the spoon that bends, but rather yourself.
Did you hear Tyra is done modeling herself? She's all about empire now, doesn't need to mess with the hot run walk that got her wear she needed to go. Empire. The world is speeding up Blop. Be careful crossing the street.
