Defying Gravity

I hate this phrase, although it has some ineluctable attraction about it. After all, mankind has a thing for breaking the surly bonds of earth.

But talking of defying gravity is silly. Gravity does not impose its rule on you. You can defy gravity by jumping off a building and dying. It won't care.

Gravity

There are things that one wonders about all the time. Why is it that human minds, like resonators, transmit such grievous things? Whether ghosts (real or unreal or imaginary or actual or virtual) or ancient sadnesses, they continue to echo bizarrely across the history of the land. And death, while it may have no dominion or perhaps because of that, does not end the broadcast of the grave.

Facelift

I think the reason people get jowly in old age is that as one gets older and forgets to smile, gravity (the quality of being down) takes over. I must remind myself to keep smiling and doing work against the force of gravity.
