It all merged together somehow, in some way. It started with spelling, that's how he knew it was beginning. It would happen slowly, faintly, out of the corner of his eye ( Read more... )

It's not that life was perfect before, it's just that it was...well calibrated. There were plans, the plans were followed, the plans were completed. It was a closed system. It wasn't great, but it was stable and fuck, stability is underrated by most.

But the hidden point is that it's boring. It's boring because you're used to it. So much so that you ( Read more... )

Because it gave him joy, that's why. That was the overly simple answer to the question that no one never cared enough to ask. For Nike's sake the man is out there *running* 5 miles and quickly afterwards, lighting up a clove. The man is a contradiction of health and stupidity.

Well, I'll just come out and say it. I'm for the troops hanging around Iraq. Blame Pamela Hess. She of all people would be horrified to hear this. She's of the belief that one should go out and find as many sources as possible and then piece together their own opinion. The problem is, I already how the New York Times, Fox News, NBC and such are ( Read more... )

People are dying. But that's not really news. People are always dying ( Read more... )
