Ol’ Lavahead Day 2018

Ol’ Lavahead Day, now celebrating 64 years of existence as a pariah. Actually, there was no celebration ... what, with one foot in the grave? Sheesh!


As prophesied many moons ago, life in the senior citizen years is going to be a living hell. The empire and its vassal states are doing everything to stoke a nuclear conflagration with the Russian Federation. The trade war with China promises to guarantee the same result. Global climate change will probably cause even greater damage, even though the latter was entirely preventable.

Human stupidity knows no bounds. And, ultimately, the collective stupidity has roots in the denial of death. The Great Prophet, Ernest Becker, had predicted as much many moons ago. The awareness of mortality spawns chronic psychopathology. All chimpo sapiens are clinically insane to varying degrees.

Personal introspection, albeit laborious, revealed that the denial and fear of death impacted all personal decisions. Previous Notes provides testimony to substantiate the latter statement. Once again, the Great Prophet proves to extremely prescient.

Update: There was a short internal debate about a minor Ol’ Lavahead Day celebration in the form of dinner procured from Lahaina Chicken Company. The idea was quickly mummified. What is there to celebrate?
