In Which I Blow The Dust Off
Well now. Isn’t this a familiar scene? It’s been…well, it’s been a damn long time. And same as always, I find myself back here. I should expect it, really. Everywhere else, I grow attached. I make friends and censor myself a bit. And here, I can just be as frank as I please. Pun not intended … Read more
PSA #32: Perspective and The Self
Feeling a little deep today, so if you’re not in the mood for it you should stop reading now. We are all heroes and villains.

After the Storm
