"Is it even possible to make progress in your life when you live in a dysfunctional pseudo-democracy? Before I start writing, I’ll probably need to overhaul a lot of aspects of our society and government...so that I may secure my future, and the future of all children, adults, and retirees.

These days, often times I fear that I may lose my shine
The hours erode my fractured mind
One wave at a time
Reshapes the entire shoreline
A face you wouldn’t recognize
When the stars die
In the twilight
stir awake and I still have my island eyes
When a bird glides
Like a kite I
Know it’s true that I still have my island eyes

My wife (a professional photog) did some pro-bono work for a local cat foster org. avoiceforallpaws.com

I love the grumpy Devon Rex and the badass one-eyed Sphynx! Unfortunately, we're maxed out on cats, so the promo photos were her way of helping these cool cats find a place to live their best lives.

But without hope, why bother planning?

Why are you running, was it something that somebody said?
What are you hiding from, are the voices alone in your head?

I just finished Carmageddon. It's mostly how/why things are terrible (things I already knew, if in less detail), not much hope, and extremely short on practical advice. And of course, the city I find myself in (I moved here temporarily and got stuck for 20 years), Dallas, is frequently used as an example of the most terrible.

At this point, I've been behaviorally conditioned to experience rage whenever I hear Paychex's hold music.
