Rollercoaster
What a whirlwind of a ride. So much has happened over a short amount of time, and that’s the reason for my absence. In a lot of ways, it feels as though a year has gone by in the last three weeks. Like so many other posts before this one, I’ve often hinted to theContinue reading “Rollercoaster”
“If” I was a Conspiracy Theorist
“If” I was a conspiracy theorist (good thing I’m not) I would begin my curiosity investigations, starting in China. As far back as I could delve into the available research.

The Apocalypse is Expensive

Invest in a dying business.” I have big plansContinue reading “The Apocalypse is Expensive”
The Truth
“In my mind’s eye, there’s only one truth. My perception of truth is mine and mine alone.

I see through the illusion. The wizard’s spell noContinue reading “The Truth”

Disconnect
“Nothing ’bout me is ordinary. My friends all say I’m going crazy. I don’t hear a word that they say.”—Shinedown I go through periods of time where I have to separate myself fully from social media and mainstream everything. Sometimes upwards of a week or longer, before I’ll open it back up and takeContinue reading “Disconnect”
No-Man’s Land
“Joe Schmo sat in the snow. He didn’t know which way to go. All he knew, was his ass was cold.”–JSM While standing beside my snoring, heavily medicated girlfriend sleeping soundly on the couch, drooling into her pillow, I believed at the time the remainder of Nancy’s life would be filled with hardship. IContinue reading “No-Man’s Land”
The Mortal’s Enemy
“Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still.” –Chinese Proverb “The world is a vampire, sent to drain.” –Smashing Pumpkins At this phase of my journey, and it happens in phases, I’ve come to understand some things.

Addiction
“If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don’t even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days.
