316

some people check the forecast via the internet as a daily matter of course.

others habitually frequent their online financial institution of choice.

i scour wikipedia's death page.

its fanfuckintastically fascifuckinating.

the month isnt yet fifty hours old and already our species has experienced the demise of a chinese vice premier, an irish poet, a young r&b vocalist, a malaysian actress, a former state senate majority leader and the world's fourth oldest person.

every name a story, every story a memoir, every memoir an anecdote, every anecdote a moment, every moment an eternity.


i conjointly follow the status of the planet's surviving world war one veterans; these individuals heard first-person accounts from civil war veterans in a manner analogous to generation y soldiers encountering the lore of korean war veterans.

civil. war. veterans.

roll it around in your brain for a moment or two.


twenty-nine wwi veterans, the youngest of whom is 104 years old, still open their eyes each morning as they did when william mckinley was the president of the united states.
