So what is it all about? Does any of the stuff going on around us really matter? Or, are we in the Matrix? Aah!, the Matrix -- interesting movie that. It thumbed me hard on the head when it came out and I thought I would never recover! Talk about getting the WOOL pulled over our eyes? -- So, where does this expression come from? -- At the time, I thought this movie was so important, but apparently, even the filmakers lost sight of what they where really trying to say. How else can you explain the FX heavy sequels, made to draw in "Everyone" and not just the people who GOT IT.
See the "Matrix" is all around us...right now, and we don't even know we're in it. We think we know, but then we flip the channel to FOX News or CNN and suddenly....
"We're in control of your TV... We control the vertical... We control the horizontal...", just like in the good old days of the "Outer Limits".
So, was Orwell right in the end? Do the "Puppet Masters" really control everything? Do our lives really not matter?
You decide.

It seemed like a good idea at the time.
How many of us have had this thought about an event in our lives? Is it possible to go back and undo something done? And, I am not talking about Time Travel. What actions can a person take to undo an action that had undesirable results? And why are there people who have never had this thought cross their minds? Can the rest of us behave like this and change our lives? What does it take to get ahead in life? What does it take to be successful?
Is that what my problem is? Is this why I am writing this blog? And why am I making my thought public?... Why is what's happening to me important to me? Is this a form of therapy maybe? Are there like minded individuals out there who might benefit by what I have to say?
Only time will tell... And it's all about time. Is the Internet going to be so liberating that the old order will be replaced and 'we' will finally have the ability to be people and not just part of the teething masses? I do not know, and I have no answers. I do know that I have some things to say, and so I will.
