In these matters the only certainty is that nothing is certain. - Pliny the Elder

What an altogether horrible concept! It brings both hope and utter dismay in one fateful blow. On the one hand it can bring a hope that something bad that seems likely to occur will not, and on the other hand it could mean that good things that you think will happen may blow up in your face. It's a vicious cycle.

I know that all of my posts have been rather vague lately but as soon as these insane goings-on work themselves out I'll explain fully what's been going on if I can.

Counting every moment,
Biding all my time,
Standing out here on my own,
Searching for that someone
To heal this heart of mine
And keep me from being alone.
But when will it be?
And how will I know?
I don't want to wait here forever.

- Michael W. Smith, "Somebody Love Me"
