It's just me yo.
No, really. THIS is how I do it.
I think about a lot of random stuff and I like to write it down. I believe in a lot of things and I think an equal amount of stuff is total crap. I am a cynical optimist. I am real.

Beginning = Ending? Or… Not?
Everything that has a beginning has an end. The Oracle in The Matrix had a lot of little gems that she liked to deliver with an interesting combination of didactic aplomb and relative indifference. And so she said: “Everything that … Continue reading
“We choose to go to the moon…”
Today is the day – the 40 year anniversary of that small step for Neil Armstrong… But was it a giant step for mankind? I often wonder what it would have been like to be seeing that Apollo mission live … Continue reading

Counter cultural bullshit and occult-ish hoo-ah interest me as much as they do the next person. Yeah, I am being precise, seriously about that much. So, of course my interest fluctuates with my company, but if you are going to … Continue reading
