future circle

i have to post a comment about all these papers i just read on this e-post thing for my class _hot topics in fisheries_. all i can think is that it's already been written. somewhere, in some matrix of time and space, my post already exists. so i don't need to worry about it. i'll take it a step further (farther?) and say my thesis already exists; all the research i'll ever do in my life already exists. if i ever have kids, they already exist.

so there's nothing to worry about, people. you can all relax.
