Gonna write a thing
So yes, I exist. I am capable of typing words. I'm still a fan of Supernatural, which is sadly ending this year. I'm wearing a hoodie that I bought because it came with a chance to be flown to Hawaii for a private meet & greet with Jensen and Misha, who, of course, are perfect human beings.

I need to write something
I'm not sure what. But I felt the need to scream building up inside me for no reason I could grasp, and I was reminded recently that just putting something out into the world is important. An outlet.

Forever Musics, Volume One
I have formed a notion of a project. There are certain albums, or songs, or artists, that are simply mine, and will always be mine. When I retreat a bit from finding the next great thing, these are the old friends I return to. For most of them there are even specific moments of realization, when they inserted themselves into my heart forever ( Read more... ) -
Ideas and Individuals in the Age of Nationalism
There are over time changes in the way humanity as a whole perceives the world. Most of these changes are no doubt too far back in time for our collective memory to ever reach, but there are some that are recent enough to be wondered about and examined. What, for example, to use two famous figures, was the shift between the times of the legend of ( Read more... )
