watching television in a cage

People think death and taxes are a certainty. There is only one constant certainty. Entropy.

Well. They finally took my idea for a television show. Took 'em long enough. Slow bastards.
It's called Random 1 and is on A&E 8pm on Tuesdays. Random acts of kindness thing. Difference is these guys have been doing this since 1996. No they really didn't take my idea or anything, but it was something I have thought about as an idea for a television show.

Pirate television and the other man's shoes will never get picked up though. Pirate Television could only be broadcast by public access or broadcasted over the Internet.though if the content is as expected. Can't offend sponsors after all.

Thought of another silly tragedy I'll never write. Probably mirroring my life on several counts. Some kind of tragedy about someone who doesn't pursue his opportunities. Ends up forgotten and alone.

We are all a little bit undead. Never really living.

It is only these days that I realize I am in a cage, a cell. Thinking of all the literary self-imprisonment. Paul, from Dune by Frank Herbert was imprisoned by prophecy. Paul thought we were all in cages. Most people just never realize it. Nine Inch Nails - "Right Where It Belongs" really powerful song there. The Pigman. Anyone ever read that? Will here I remain? How do I escape?
