It’s Blog Action Day:

On October 15th, bloggers around the web will unite to put a single important issue on everyone’s mind – the environment. Every blogger will post about the environment in their own way and relating to their own topic. Our aim is to get everyone talking towards a better future.

I have a deep sadness about the condition of our earth. And worse, a deeper pessimism about it ever getting better. I cannot even begin to convey my disappointment at the continual it couldn’t get worse, could it? oop, yes, it’s so much worse free-fall feeling that has been my life, my entire life.

Pull out, zoom in: it sucks at every view. Three G0rges D@m: holy shit. Losing count of the SUVs roaring past me: yuck. The thick pile of shiny, screaming coupons and circulars that are stuffed in my mailbox every single day: fuck fuck fuck.

So, I recycle those circulars and cringe at my commute and pray that not too many thousands of people will die when they complete the world’s worst civil project.

I simply cannot feel happy nor proactive when asked to think about this. And understand: it’s not glibness, it’s hopelessness with a nice hard shell of cynicism.

At least we haven’t been nuked*. We have that.

*Yet.
