I will let you in on one little secret: “only you can prevent forest fires” is a lie, many people may “not cause” them, and trained personnel can probably “prevent” them, and proper forestry management actually should “encourage” them.

Calm, after the porn. You are the wind beneath my schemes. Small miracles come in shrink wrap. A good man is hard. The wicked witch of the west is evil too.

The Perfect Storm, sucked.

Night falls upon us. Its dead weight crushing the light, and forcing the last ounce of energy to drop like a tear from my tired body. Crying not for sleep but for the loss of a day.
