Well, not really out of control.  More like controlled chaos.
    Our lives, our planet, our galaxy ... hurdling at some  
    unimaginable warp factor approaching the speed of light
    in some super cosmic pinball game zigging and zagging
    around, here and there, and the faster we go, the slower
    time goes until we approach some sort of singularity,
    perching precariously on some sort of event horizon where
    words no longer have meaning and thoughts escape us  
    quicker than a lightning bug on a cool summer evening.
