Dalton Trumbo - Johnny Got His Gun

"Can you look at a guy and say he's an American who fought for his liberty and anybody can see he's a very different guy from a Canadian who didn't? No by god you can't and that's that."

grim world

The world is so full of death.  I saw a rainbow the other morning driving to work and thought, what a good start to the day. I turned down Fairchild, and the neighborhood skunk was dead in the road.

A story outlining my descent into an acid induced stage of lunacy. I never finished the final chapter as it contained so much it's hard to articulate, but maybe one day I will. The Descent to Psychosis or the Ladder to Enlightenment The following is a written summarization of a mindset that began following a bad acid trip, and grew to consume my mind during a trip more as trips went on. I recently learned of a theory on the universe which helped me put my thoughts into words and connect the previously unexplainable to understandable reality. The theory that I found is the ‘Zoo Hypothesis’, and is a response to the Fermi Paradox, which claims that there should be evidence of extraterrestrial life, simply because of how large the universe is.
