Coffee Shop @ MindSay

And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage...

I find it so fascinating to be surrounded by people and yet be absolutely alone. All those who sit around me have no idea that I am writing about them as they chat with those they are here with or those who they are conversing with upon their hand-held electronic devices. And I sit and I watch and I learn – I am a stalker of mankind and no court can stop me from doing all that gives me enjoyment, a Peeping Tom of all that this life has to offer...

I will discover what your favorite sports team is or what type of music you enjoy or what causes you find important or how you feel about yourself and the amount of pride you take in your personal appearance. I will quickly discover if you are a native or if you have come to these parts from a land faraway. I may even find out what types of books or magazines you enjoy reading or what type of beverage you want to drink. And all this information is given to me freely whether you know it or not...

And the masses will never question my motivation nor will they ask to be removed from thoughts for I do as I please in this theater of the absurd...

And that is what this life is after all, theater on a grand scale and we all must play the roles we have been assigned even if we thought we could have played a much better Romeo or Juliette than the popular person who eventually was given that part. And much as Lear we scream into the advancing storm though we fully realize that this action is in vein and that no one will hear our screams. And though we wish that we had been cast into a musical we find ourselves starring in a Greek Tragedy. And such is to be expected for those who do not make it through this life on the casting couch of the infinite...

And all the writers want us to say lines that are so out of character for our parts. And the director's vision of the play is far different than the picture we have within our minds. And the critics will pick apart each and every imperfection in our performance. And the fans that we once had will not even remember what our name was...

And so from this drama I will take a bow though no one will notice nor will they care...

This is the Word of the AntiCrust...

Praise be ye who Read the Word for ye are Blessed amongst humans...

For when your really gonna need 'em..."

Now hit the switch! It's alive! It's alive! It's the Flavour of the Week!!!

And we proudly present the Flavour of the Week...

Oh yeah...

I wish that I had something interesting to fill the volumes of this fine publication, but unfortunately there is really nothing all that interesting going on...

I suppose I could fill this with the joys of the new company laptop, which isn't really new since it is like a month old. And I could tell the tale again of how Mr. William Gates III has not even said thank you for the years of dedication I have give his company, but I don't feel like it...

Though I will accounce that there will be no addition the week of the 10th or the 17th. I'm not exactly sure which for I will be on holiday and out of the office. I'm guessing it will be the week of the 10th, but I will include both weeks so that no one is surprised when a week passes and there is no edition...

This week’s area of the world of the week is the Altenstadt, Hessen, Germany area - SALUTE!!!

END

Before they can do you any harm. ...

And so I have found myself in the coffee shop that I am normally sit in looking off into the distance and realizing that I have a tendency to sit here looking as I do on days like today when the skies are gray and heaven's open up upon the world and wondering why this tendency exists and if it is a conditional of my childhood or whether it reaches back much further to something that occurred when my genes emerged from the cave so very long ago...

And I sit here and watch the people run to and from their vehicles when all the while there is no shelter from the storm, no salvation for the wicked, nowhere to run when the end is nye and the fate of mankind is a certainty. There is no turn back when one decides to jump on this ride, there are no u-turns permitted on the road of life only the toll booth at the end of the trip and one must pay the ultimate price to exit. And so it is and so it has always been from the beginning...

And I watch the world beyond the window and I know what the truth is and I shall share it with all the world though I shall not mention this fact to those who feel the need to scurry about in the rain for they must seek the truth and the truth shall not be presented to those who are not ready to accept the words that are written upon these many pages. I shall not shout from the mountain tops, I shall not preach from the street corners, I shall not stand before the congregation, I shall only reveal all to those who drink from the Cup of Coffee and who wish to know all that this world holds for them. And the number of these are few though and yet it is they who shall inherit this earth and it is they who shall reign over this world when the governments of this planet have all ceased...

And as the storm clouds gather off in the distance such happy thoughts fill my mind though the Coffee fills my belly with such warm and creamy goodness. And the large masses of gray follow US Rt. 30 East as the devour all that stands before them. And the road is of historic importance just as the words that flow from my fingers like so much Coffee into so many more cups. And the road is much like the Information SuperHighway that goes on and on for a great distance but may not lead one to where he or she is going but sometimes the scenery is nice to look at. And so I find my self sitting in another roadside attraction on this road to the sea and I wonder where my road will lead me and what roadside attractions will grab my attention as I too head for the sea...

And all those who surround me are on their own highways off to wherever it is they are going and they too find themselves in this roadside attraction on this given day and their thoughts do not seem to roam as far as mine do though I have to expect that I am alone in my thoughts and my outlook on this world that stretches off to some unseen point in the distance. Where is it that the storms go to die? If I could only find that point and put a coffee shop in the universe who be complete...

And the signs of human life are all around me and I cannot make them go away – the idle chit-chat, the talking upon the cellular phones, the typing upon the multiple keyboards, the sounds of people coming and going all invade my thoughts but the silence of nothingness is far worse. And so it be when the universe finally decides to its time is done. And if I could manage to hang on until the last star expends its last atom of fuel what a sight to behold. And nothing will remain, not these words, not the planet the were written in, not the solar system that they were once stored in, not the universe that once contained my thoughts, nothing – it shall all be gone...

And out the window before me, the rains have grown stronger and the winds more intense and I sit here with my Coffee thinking about when it will all be gone – the ultimate end of all things. And I watch the people as the try to avoid the rains when they will be gone at some point. Why don't they rejoice in the fact that they are experiencing something at will be gone someday? If I could only see one person out of all those who come and go have the understanding that I have and celebrate the fact that on this day in the history of the universe at this spot there is a beautiful rain storm. If there was only one, but I alone rejoice in this fact and I alone understand that this is temporary state that will one day be absent from this reality for I alone can see beyond the facade of all that is flashing before me, I alone document this life with full understanding that it will be gone...

And the clouds that slowly push east begin to turn back to white and I find it very appropriate that my cup will be empty momentarily while all the while this reality is one step closer to end though the optimists among us will say that mankind will find a way to survive even when the universe has died, but I do not have that much faith in the survival of this species and if live does carry on after the end, it won't be from this planet and maybe it is they who shall read all the volumes I've produced and maybe it is they who will understand...

This is the Word of the AntiCrust...

Praise be ye who Read the Word for ye are Blessed amongst humans...

Now I'm shining too-
Because, oh because I've fallen quite hard over you...

And again I find myself sitting in a coffee shop though this is not my usual coffee shop for I do not have the time to drive the extra five miles to get there and the experience is different though not completely different than the experience that I experience at my usual coffee shop. There are a number of things that are quite the same such as the selection and the fact that people come and go as they go about their day and the fact that here I sit with a cup of coffee documenting all that goes on around me and no one is the wiser as to the evil purpose I have whilst I sit here and look as if I am doing something of great importance and well, I suppose this is of great importance for who will chronicle this specific time in the history of the universe if it is not me? Who will be the one to place words upon the nameless objects that surround me as I bang upon this shiny new laptop if I was not here in this particular coffee shop at this particular instance?

And this coffee shop is so much smaller than my usual coffee shop and there is far fewer people, which in someways is much better and yet at the same time makes it far more difficult to tell the tales of those who come and go as they do and those who may be staying for a brief instance. There is far less visual stimulation for my eyes to feed upon as I sit here and drink a beverage that is my usual at my usual coffee shop and yet is quite new in this environment. And isn't that like life in general where there are elements that could be considered familiar and yet for the most part everything is different. Elements are identifiable and yet their names are spoken in a language that one does not understand. Yes, I know this is a wooden chair that I find myself in and yet I have never been in this seat before and it has never had the privilege of having me place the weight of my body upon it before and yet I know what it is and it knows what to do with me...

And for the size of this place, it is quite amazing the number of those here at this moment and the number of those who will passed through, look about and leave with their coffee in hand venturing forth into the spring rains heading off to a place that I may never know and yet it will have elements that seem like home to me. And the world that I gaze upon outside the windows that surround my current environment is far different than the world that I usually gaze upon – everything is different and yet I know exactly what it is. It is all unfamiliar and yet there is something that is very familiar with all I see on this rainy day...

And the talk around me revolves around pirates and all their pirating activities and this is all new and different and it makes me wish that we were celebrating International Talk Like a Pirate Day today, but unfortunately that date is far off in the future and by the time it does arrive the conversation will have long ago ceased and the memory of it will only remain upon this page and nothing more. Though in some ways, it will always remain as the light that illuminates this coffee shop will be forever flying through the deep dark corners of this universe and may be seen one day in the far distant future on a planet millions of light-years from the point where I am sitting on this day telling the tale of all that I find strangely familiar though it is all so unfamiliar...

And the faces of those who surround me change and yet I remain the same as the time I spend here grows longer and longer as this chair accepts the fact that I will be exerting my mass upon for the foreseeable future for I have no intention to stand at this particular moment though I know that my time here is coming to an end for there is much to do in the near future and so many new things to see and experience as I attempt to survive another day on this big blue orb spinning merrily about in some far off corner of a rather plain and nondescript spiral universe...

There are some advantages of this particular coffee shop - I can actually hear the music that is only here to provide atmosphere and for those who have made it to this point in this epic tale, I really really enjoy music of all sorts. There is something about music that goes far beyond the ideas that will form in my cranium, something that goes beyond this infinite life I have lived on this planet, something that transcends this coffee shop and the walls of glass that separate me from the world beyond, something that reaches back into my past but not the past that I can recall but rather the past that has been handed down generations upon generations from my primordial ancestors as they struggled to emerge from the pools where they will themselves to live - the rhythm of the universe that runs through all things and is part of every atom that have existed from the moment of creation and it was done with a rhythm section and one big bang of a gong that shall forever remain unseen...

And again nothing of earth-shattering importance or that will be considered profound by anyone who walks this earth has popped into my head and nothing that I wished to say has surfaced from the dark nooks and crannies that litter the surface of my lump of gray matter that occupies the space between my ears and just behind my blues eyes. And so it is and so it shall be forever and an eternity as I work on gaining the courage to move my mass from this seat and venture forth into a world that is far different than the world that now surrounds me and I know that the rains that fall from the heavens shall rain down upon me as I travel to places that require my attention and the star that is nearest this planet shall not peek through the clouds on this day and I shall not know what its rays will do to my skin for the clouds that envelop this world shall not part and all shall remain gray and wet and let it feels as if it should be so as we come to the conclusion of the first decade of Twenty-first Century. And I shall move my legs and do so with an energy that I did not have when I first entered just as Mr. Blue-toothed-enabled-middle-management-man just did and walked straight to the counter and gave his order just as I did so very long ago and it seems so familiar and yet it all seems different and still I sit as I near the end of my stay here in this place where I am a stranger in a strange land and yet I do have an understanding that will allow me to function in this place...

I'm not in a random mood, no. The song that's playing on my laptop is called the 'Llama Song' - and that's just three words of it. XD Maybe I'll post it so you can join in the randomness. :3

My day was good. In Math, I read some Hamlet (I'm almost done reading it!! Can you believe it?!), and we took up some work.

In English, we watched more of Romeo & Juliet (Leonardo DiCaprio & Claire Danes version, of course!).

In History, we were given  these final projects that's due sometime during May. It's about historical events that took place in the 50's and 60's. I'm doing mine on the Berlin Wall. I had a stupid moment, as I was browsing books in our school library. I was with Kristy.
Me: I wonder where the Berlin Wall was...
Kristy: ...Berlin, Emily.
Me *laughing*: Oh, right!
xD

In Computers, I read some more Hamlet. Sam and I are finished with our projects. I hope to finish this play tonight. It's not terrible, it's actually really great, but I just... Wanna read a comedy after this. XD You get sick of people dying after a while.

I went out with ML today. She took me to this comfy little place downtown, where I've never been. We just talked about all sorts of things; mainly over the stuff that I told her about in my E-Mails I've been sending her - where, I've been all open and stuff with everything. Nothing but completely honest. I really enjoyed it, though - she reassured me that we'll do it again.

And I just finished a pizza. :3 Pepperoni, Cheese, Ham, and Chicken. Yummy! ^^

I have Friday and Monday off - so that makes it a four day weekend. And next week, I have only three days where I technically go to school.

Monday - Off.
Tuesday - School.
Wednesday - School.
Thursday - School.
Friday - Fieldtrip! ^^
