The Pantheon

You know how it is.

make sure to get all the permits approved by the city first. And by common sense second, I guess. You never know what stupid mistakes will be costing you your life. 

And here we have the other side of the coin. The kinder, brighter side. The heads to our tails. 

Let's make it clear; the demons in my tales are metaphors. Very brute force ones, I might say. The comm…

Once again, we look at a coin with two sides. We dance along the edge, that tin sliver with the grooves. Perhaps by seeing both sides of this thing, we can get a greater grasp of its essence. 

Also, d…

Some burdens must be borne. The public cannot see. The public cannot feel. It is our responsibility to do these things. Thus speaks the Auburn Rose. 

Rudy's Cafe. You might not have been there, but you have an image of it in your head. I've been to those places, these greasy diners, and they are exactly the way you imagine they are. A little bit l…

Long story short, mysteriously appearing clocks are a thing. They're such a thing that entire ind…

What is hope? Is hope always a dream of change? Perhaps it is, but the change does not necessarily have to be in the world around us. Sometimes the change can be inside, too.

Usually, the hope is both…

We forget his name, but he has never forgotten us. Perhaps we forget the ground that we walk upon, too. Or the air that we breathe. But does that mean that our connection should be ignored? 

No.

Obviou…

Here, we follow into a world that is not, and never was. Perhaps it is good that it never could be. Good for us, for you, and me. Maybe.

One of the best ways to learn about yourself is to ask someone else whom you can trust about who and what you are. Same with societies, cultures, etc. We lose insight to hubris all the time. 

That bei…

Oof. This one's painful. And not just painful in the sense that I've been missing for a month. 

See, one of the problems here is that if you seek to find ways to make things non-sacred, you can find t…

You should have listened to the PSA. I did. That's why I'm still here, behind you. But you're not. Not there. Not in your shell. 

You should have listened. It meant you no harm. Nor did I. But the oth…

PSA stands for public service announcement. And that was also a PSA. 

Usually, you should listen to these things. They're not all that frequent, and usually they're about something you need to be proa…

"Eww, that sounds disgusting."

That's what you said. I heard you. I'm in the room with you right now. No, don't turn around. That will ruin the surprise.

You know, it's their favorite thing. They like to do that. Sometimes it means nothing. Sometimes it means everything. 

Our economy is overly abstracted. Let's be honest. The value of the stock market …

There is nothing more maddening than the burden of the clock. It has given us order and stability, but where has our rights over our own time gone? 

We know where they went. To the same place everythi…

It's quite an accomplished sandwich. Or series of sandwiches. Either way, you never expected that much from them, so it's just really nice that they were able to get this far and do so much. 

The natural character progression of any sandwich when it is lost. 

I have always detested the idea of hell. I know, I know. Who wouldn't? It is supposed to be despicable. But we see it weaponized her…

We've all been there. It really stinks to lose something as simple as your lunch. It's terrible. Horrible. Someone must pay.
