Happy Birthday, Vinny

Oh. Hello again, April. It’s been some time since I last saw you – a year, I’ll wager. You never disappoint. You’re always right on time. You’ve got my birthday with you, I’m fairly sure; you usually do. A little closer inspection … ah, yes. There he is. A little older than when last I [...]

I will outlive my words.
Mightier than the sword?
(To your god, perhaps - all

Embracing The Suck - Day 1

I have never before seen a place so dusty that I could smell the dust. So dusty that when I spit the saliva doesn’t splatter, but instead there is actually a splash of dust. I’ve been here less than half a day, and already my boots are going white. More people here should smoke, because [...]
