Piss soaked pants on wall, Grey men’s size large, drip stinking. Is he now naked? Blake’s Satanic Mills Seem innocent in compare: Everything got worse. Poets, Shaman, Priests, Scientists, teachers unleashed: Who will stop the rot?
MoreHumans are short lived creatures. Tortoises live for a few hundred years. If they had the urge to, they could rule the world, but they don’t appear to have the interest. The longest lived trees live for thousands of years. Our puny three score and ten barely allow us to scratch the surface of life. […]
MoreYesterday was a food themed day for the bad guys of the Bay Area. Subway got robbed at GUNPOINT, of a six inch sub, three cookies and a bag of chips. He didn’t even get a drink or a footlong. Listen, man, if you can’t be bothered to go to the foodbank, are too lazy […]

This is by design, because, quite simply, talking about escaping makes me feel unsafe. I didn’t run once. I kept getting bounced back by the […]
MoreI have been looking around for a free detox for my old bastard of a druggie booze soaked mess. He is still alive and instead of kicking is in a morass of speed shootin’ booze drinkin’, DMT droppin’ pill snortin’ elder hooligan misbehavior. I coaxed him into an ER, only for them to treat him […]
MoreI am a sci fi buff, which I suppose might make me prone to such fangrrrldom, but I feel I have to admit to being more than slightly in awe of The Musk. Whereas I’m here trying to make a space for myself on this crappy ruined world, full of strife and general misery, Elon […]
