No End?

Log from Blammo is all talk and no action--or at least no action that you will ever know about. By day, he works as an insignificant cog in a corporate machine, and his nights are none of your business.

Log is enough action to write and edit thoughts and place them howdt there for us to read. This diatribe on the End is both true and false, depending on how you take it. I prefer to believe, with tongue in cheek, but these days i no longer know. I myself am faced with the quandry of taking action to enhance a system that doesn't work, while building a sytem with a different approach that could work, if the fundamental assumptions were changed or the previous asumptions are discarded. But if there is never an end, then the means needs to start regardless of the necessity to wait for the current status to end. So i dunno.

i do know that i need to know both systems inside and howdt to get there from here. So in the state of not knowing, i choose to assume that ends do occur, and once observed can no longer be denied. But until something ends, it still goes on, and saying it ended doesn't necessarily mean that it did in fact end. Smouldering fire burns when oxygen becomes more readily available, energy is produced by the interaction, and the water produced is not enough to quench the flame.
