Random:
Directly across the street from the entrance to the United Nations is a huge staircase winding its way up past a large granite wall. The wall is inscribed with a quote from the bible. A paraphrase: "From this day forth no man shall raise sword against neighbor nor enemy. Never again shall a nation raise sword against nation. This world will see no more of the evils of war." Amazing that ambassadors and officials can walk by this every day, and bring themselves to condone war through their votes. Funny - or disturbing.

Less than three blocks away, another ironic intrigue.... You know how they occassionally name portions of streets after prominent people? This one intersection of 3rd Ave has two oposing corners,one claimed by Yitzach Rabin, the other belongs to Nelson Mandela. Somehow, I can't picture the two sharing a street.

You know the sensors that control automatic opening doors as you walk by? It randomly occured to me the other day that, if vampires have no reflection, they must not get "seen" by the sensors. Right? Of course, only super markets seem to be universally equipped with the devices. Good thing for vampires they only consume blood.

I've concluded that my severe depression in high school can't really be blamed on chemical imbalance. It came from being raised in hell. Parsippany, NJ, is not someplace anyone should ever raise a family. No teenage, developing mind & persona should ever be subjected to the suburban experience. Land of community cloning, brain washing, and(this literally is what Parsippany is known for) Coporate Headquarters. After being back here for three weeks, I completely understand how I teetered on the brink of insanity in the past. One of the most pathetic things is the appearance of a new billboard about a mile from my house: "Parsippany - For Work, For Family, For Fun. Celebrate Your Community."

Yes - we have entered the Twilight Zone.
