I thought of a word today to describe a duck in over-medative state as being Karmatosis. Altavista threw up two sites with this name on Yahoo. If I use this will I be sued that is if the book ever goes to print. Procedes will go to Charity by the way as no self-philanthropical gain is really wished.
The duck is Kimberly Quackalot so Karmatosis just rolled off nicely. Anyway I am at writer's block stage so it is not important but just need curiosity appeased. Writer's Blog block would be more appropriate. You know so much to answer that when crunch comes to crack "What do you ask?"
Also this story may lead to libel suits as it is based on a real character although she may not even realise it being such a gossip - no that is bitchy but true.

I know this question has probably been asked 1000 times before, but its something I cant get my head around. I have recently lost someone close to me and since then think about it a lot

I know there are no real answers to the question and when I think about I think it must just be the end, nothing happens? God is a fantasy and cant be real it doesn’t make sense that we all die and live again somewhere else.

But what about ghosts and mediums that apparently contact the dead? surely there must be proof of this? I have never seen a medium so don’t know how real it is, but if they REALLY can contact the dead surely that means something happens after we die or at least they could get some answers?

I wish I had an answer to this, its sad to think the person I lost has gone, existence is nothing to them they don’t even know they where alive, they or we all will just be forgotten about,

They say you´ve either got it or you dont...its like as if to say some people are just born with more potencial in them..more talent...or more of an ability to succeed. I personally think everyone has equal potencial, you´ve just gotta find what you wanna do in life, and then work hard at it. Granted some people have it easier than others...but even so their inner potencial is still the same right? Take away money, and everybody would be on the same playing field...with just as much ability to fulfill their dreams...right? Everyone keeps tellin me that some people are just born with the "it"- factor.....apparently its got somethin to do with natural selection. Is this true? Do you think your life has already got pre-set boundaries for you?

What are we humans actually doing? or is everything just happening?
we do enough work in one year to pay every family US$75,000 a year - and everyone [more or less] works, so US$75,000 a year per family would not be far from fair - we do enough work to pay everyone, including homemakers and students, US$15 an hour, and everyone works more or less equally per hour [slackers get fired, except bosses] - peace and plenty, happiness and quiet

instead, we pay across the most supersuperextreme range: from 1c to $10,000,000 an hour, from 1000th to a million times the average - with only 1% getting above average, and with 90% getting below a 10th of average - down to 1000th of average

why are we doing this? or are we doing nothing, thinking nothing, and it is just happening and we are just not there or anywhere at all?

what possible reason could we have for doing this, if we are actually present and doing it? what reason could anyone imagine for any creature doing this? how could we explain it if an alien asked us? oh, we are doing it because ... what?
