Someone once said that “time is a flat circle.” That it’s essentially an illusion created by our subconsciousness to explain a part of our hardware that we can’t observe- like the built in egg t...

---

I have been quietly obsessed with this movie for a year, I think, based on loose recommendations I read- but I avoided it, and spoilers, until I was able to watch it in the original Japanese a...

---

I was listening to Chelsea Hotel while I was working on this little trip back to the 1960s: That square turd of a brutalist brown brick shitbox has been there my entire life. I had no idea th...

---

Drove to work this morning completely in the pre-dawn dark, though dark blue was creeping over the black by the time I rolled past the church into town. I was feeling a bit uneasy with it. Somet...

---

The reverence I have for art is similar to the reverence I have for science. Both are rooted in a fascination with the heights of power the human spirit can achieve through accurately perceiving...

---

I was there, Gandalf. 25 years ago, I was there. When the strength of men prevailed. Right around the time I was preparing to graduate high school rumors grew of a shadow in the east. Whispers,...

---

I can’t convey in words how surprised I am with how much I enjoy my job, this holiday season in particular. Now that I have had a couple years of more or less routine to get me off the panic bus...

---

Eight miles, straight up, downtown somewhere. That’s Kenny Rogers, in case you were wondering. Might remember it from The Big Lebowski. I remember it from the radio in my dad’s truck in the 80s...

---

The creeps have blown in with this blizzard. My mother, who is mostly estranged to me now since remarrying and suddenly acquiring four new grandkids to have REAL fun with, just canceled Christm...

---

....be they Lovecraftian Gods, or Christmas carols. This song has roots as early as the 8th century, and there is something about it relative to the story of Christmas that does it for me. ...

---

Thanks for always being there, Doc. This is not a reference to Doc Brown, although the scene where Marty thanks Doc and they hug at the end of the first one, outside the clock tower, is one of ...

---

What are some lines from popular cinema that have flattened you, emotionally? Some of mine, in no particular order or context: (win one point for each movie recognized) Thanks for always being...

---

They just do, in every way. Not to be confused with talented people (and not to presume they are mutually exclusive), who benefit very much from being around people who are in positions to elev...

---

I can’t shake the creeps. They come in a variety of forms; a handful of concepts. Memories seem further away than they aught to be. Or maybe they just felt closer than they should have up until...

---

…to think less of what is written, than what’s wrote between the lines. I find myself in the most ethereal place, mentally. A touch of psychosis. Slippage. Like I’m floating above a city I coul...

---

On the list of genuinely terrifying episodes of The Twilight Zone, number 1 for me is The Midnight Sun. The basic premise is that earth has been knocked slightly off of it’s orbit to the sun, ...

---

Assume everyone likes you, but don’t count on it. Never try to leverage someone’s feelings for you into doing or giving you things. If you need something from someone that you don’t have, offe...

---

Up until a few days ago I was using Youtube on my phone (not even the App, the website via Safari) for all of my music and podcast needs. Like a fucking animal. Fortunately, I discovered Spo...

---

I know I say this like once a week, but I just can’t with my own generation. Millennials, to me, are a people largely broken- mentally, spiritually, emotionally- yet they have great taste in t...

---

It was deliciously warm last night so I took advantage. Set out around 9:00pm and pedaled my bicycle through the long series of parking lots behind the storefronts on the west side of town. Be...

---

I’ve always been on the apathetic side. Survival of the fittest and the natural order always suited me just fine. Because I was always young, and strong, and didn’t care about anything or anyone...

---

Saw a video online using this song. Someone getting off of a subway and filming the steps and sidewalk in front of them, then suddenly glancing up surprisingly (to me) at the Cologne cathedr...

---

I drive more than the average person, I’d say. Mostly for work. Commuting from the town I live, around the bay to the town I work, every day. Driving from one job to the next. Sometimes six in a...

---

When I was a kid, at night, I’d pretend my bed was a pod of protection floating through space and I’d draw all of my stuffed animals near and imagine a type of eternity where we, my stuffed anim...

---

Anyone who finds themselves shouldered with the responsibility of seeing anything through to completion will back me up on this I think. A specific fear, or humility, born of experience. That th...
