it's 10:44 pm, on October 31, 2004 - the end of the world.

So here's the thing.
The more I watch Jeremiah, the more I think about that goddamned election on Tuesday, the more I watch about the war on terror and the war on socialism and the war called politics, the more I see blackouts cover massive portions of north america, the more I see natural disaster try and take out whole sectors of this continent--
I'm starting to think that the apocalypse might really be seriously well-nigh, to quote Jenny Calendar.
I'm not talking biblical revelation here, I'm just saying - a lot can go wrong. a lot does go wrong. a lot is going wrong.
and, I mean, all of it, it makes me wonder if I have the skills to survive, really survive, without the comforts and infrastructure of this artificial world. hunt, fish. farm. grow things. protect myself. carry on, fix things, live. I mean, my skillset is for a digital age, not for agriculture. it would be a world without anything we're used to.
The one thing that continually hangs me up, though, is electricity.
what would we do without electricity? it would be the downfall of everything.
I don't mean to be an alarmist, but this possibility strongly exists. the more tv I watch, the more concerned I get. I'm starting to worry. I'm starting to think, maybe I should try and do something more important - nay, more *useful*. maybe I should start learning a skillset that doesn't depend on it being an information age. maybe I should start a garden. maybe I should start hoarding cans. Maybe, just maybe, I should understand hydroelectricity. maybe I should figure out what the fuck I would DO if suddenly the world collapsed.
It's paranoia and delusion almost as thick as thinking the magician and his bunny are friends I can actually relate to, but there you have it. I can't make it stop any more than I can stop feeling better, a little comforted, by seeing the magician and his bunny, night after night.
If you wonder what I'm doing up here in my room, don't concern yourself. I'm just learning how to generate power for when the big disaster comes.
