I am the incarnate foxonthestorms. I am not yours and I am not the spirit of the 00's. if that can ever be called a legitimate time period (as we know tbe 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's) to be. This is a time of trivial knowledge, of hollow novelties, of kooks pretending to be important. We live in an age of expectations and subsequent disappointment. We shall find the new paradigms in the decades to come, but at the dusk of 2009 I find myself breathing without the support of newfound cures, striking facts that betray pastlogic, nor novel paradigms of thought that provocatively challenge our old views. Quietly we sit watching our televisions, hoping that "those geniuses across the street" might unify general relativity and quantum theory, or find the once-and-for-all cure for cancer. We sit patiently for someone to slap us into realty to realize that it is our responsibility to sacrifice our comfort for the purity of discovery, to believe in the unknown, and accept that our view is, thus far, limited. I, the ethereal fox on the storms, shall not stand for this bittersweet comfort. I will not be subject to the monotony of our time. I PLEDGE TO YOU AND ALL WHO MAY READ THIS IN THE FUTURE THAT I WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE TERRAFORMING OF MARS, THE SPREAD OF LIFE, AND THE EXPANSION OF THE ONLY FUNCTIONAL ENTITY CAPABLE OF COMBATING ENTROPY (life).
