         We are waking up to the fact that our gods are dead, and have been replaced with our own creations. From the perspective of creations, if God was simply a mode of communicating a spiritual energy or force we then manifested into religion, one could easily surmise that it was fate that brought us to create something as powerful and as all knowing as the Internet for us to worship. The Internet is by far our greatest invention, and our greatest abomination.     The genie has been let out of the bottle. I am not presenting a snowball effect type argument; simply an observation on our relationship and addiction to ourselves via the Internet and social media has changed the human soul. We truly have become dependent on our screens. The symbiotic relationship we developed with our digital worlds draws parallels to Mary Shelley's Dr. Frankenstein and his abomination. He created life and loathed what he had done. That abuse and loathing of the creatio...

     Well, here it is. Like I promised. What's wrong with being a little late?  I've taken the time to refine my thoughts like fine wine, ripened on the vine by the mild Mediterranean climate of Southern California; juiced, pressed, and exported straight into your brain pan.      Let's pick up where we left off in the previous post. Here I am! I made it. Manifest Destiny.  Cool. Okay.  I reached the end of Western Civilization. I've been here for something like a year. Most of my days have been spent in quarantine, occasionally snapping out of my cooped up depression to create some sort of content when provoked by the literal and metaphorical fires raging outside of my window. The four horses of the apocalypse: Pestilence, Death, Famine, War; they can all be found hanging out over on Sunset Boulevard snapping pictures with Spider-Man. No masks.      In order to understand the city, I've investigated the natural landscape and el...

       I guess I haven't had much to say.      What hasn't been said nowadays? Civilization is losing its civility and all of our worlds have been turned upside down.      The world by nature is topsy turvy. We turn blind eyes to the fact that we live in a country where you can drive across state borders to a place where danger looms and people are hurting just to kill people all in the name of self defense . I have NEVER heard of somebody driving somewhere dangerous to protect themselves.  Evidently based on the conclusion the jury made today, in real life you can pretend you're Batman! However fried your political views may be.  AN AR-15 IS DESIGNED TO KILL PEOPLE.  You have to be a fucking psychopath to want one of those.  But go buy one. Everybody buy a gun! It's your right. And if you have to drive somewhere dangerous so that you can defend yourself in that dangerous environment, at least you'll be armed to the...
