What do ya think of a 26 year old kid that gets on a plane with 400 bucks in his pocket and travels to Budapest to start a a new life with his Hungarian girlfriend he's been skyping with for a year?
All I can say is, Good Luck Son, and when I told you a year ago that it was time for you to move out of my basement, I wasn't really meaning you had to move half way around the world. All said, you've got balls, and that's why I know your going to be all right where ever you find yourself. No doubt you've got a mean independent streak, we've always known that. No doubt, your toughest obstacle is going to be to learn to live with a women. Hard enough to live with one you've known for a while. Of course, her lot isn't going to be easy either, having to put up with you, but you'll figure that out.
I guess the truth is, 26 isn't a kid, and as worried as mom and I are, there's nothing wrong with following your heart, nothing wrong with a bit of adventure before all the worldly responsibilities set in. That'll happen soon enough!
In the meantime, enjoy, and lets skype later in the week.
In a chaotic world, insanity works...

Is there anybody out there...
Who thinks humans are regressing back down the evolutionary path? Oh, excuse me, I meant to say the spiritual path. Whatever your belief in the orgins of human kind, you have to kind of wonder about our intelligence, not to mention our sanity. I do, because I just don't remember people as lacking common sense, as being egotistical and as outright demanding and greedy as people are today. I'm just not talking about people in their twenties, thirties and forties, I'm talking about everyone.
I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to the conspiracy talk about Chem Trails in that the powers that be are dumbing down the populations of the world for some devious and evil purpose (as in world domination for those who have breathed deeply).
Seriously, stop and think about the last time you made an informed decision that benefited or impacted society as a whole. Chances are, the best you can come up with is 'American Idol'. I, at least watch real television, like 'Survivor'. Bet you think your vote in the last elections count? Not really, because you voted based on your political leanings as influenced by a billion political ads that penetrated deep into your psyche to mix and mingle with the after affects of that demonic chemtrail smoke. Hell, that candy bar you just bought at the check out counter, that wasn't even a conscience decision.
Truth is, it's worse than you think. You don't even know if the economy is bad, or not! You think it is because you've been told it is. That 12 pack cold yet? You're having what for supper? You're going fishing, hunting, where on vacation?
Of course, there's an adage that people don't really change but we all know that's not true. There's no doubt that there's a lot of people out there that will be more than happy to point out that I'm the one who's changed. I'll readily admit to that, but I've changed for the better, for the wiser. I've evolved!
What happened to you?

A Humbling and Humilating Truth
Not too long ago, like the day before yesterday, I actually had the gall to think I was a tad immortal. Despite a wealth of gray hair, failing eyesight, and a lot of minor aches and pains, I've been thinking I'll be around till the Sun don't shine no more in the morning sky.
Well, that's a croc! I mean, you know, no one lives forever, right? No matter how healthy we try to live our lives, all we are really doing is prolonging what we all know is coming. Every single one of us. Some of us have to learn the hard way and that would be me.
I guess that's part of growing up, realizing you're going to grow up and die not too far down the road, even if it's still (hopefully) a bit to travel.
OK, you're all dying to know what I'm waxing so philosophical about and I'll just have you go Google ' popliteal bypass' and watch one of the videos.
Enjoy..., I did
All said and done, I might be falling apart like Seth Brundle, but I can still do a mean shot of tequila.

Nothing short of Welcome...
After spending an eternity on my own website, it's time to transition to blogging. It's simpler, and it's quicker. So whether you find your way here from my website, www.rspaxton.com, my facebook page, or you just stumbled across this little slice of insanity by an accident of chaos, Welcome.
Because my life is chaotic and yours is probably insane, I'll write about what I damn well please, and that's mostly politics, religion, our culture, our lives and everything else that lies underneath.
