To Space And Back
We go there almost every day, in our minds we do. We always come back with something, interesting to say the least. It doesn't take a spaceship, just a little imagination will do. It doesn't take all kinds of money, money that could be spent wisely.

A Tangent Ship On The Horizon
I had been living on Butchers island now for what seemed like an eternity but it was actually two and a half years since I had seen anyone or anything that remotely looked like civilization. I was confident in the beginning that they had sent out a search party for me considering I was one of the most sought-after philanthropists in the northern hemisphere, but as time went by, I began to lose hope that anyone was ever going to come and rescue me.

It's Now Or Never
It had become such a concern of mine many years ago, approximately twenty-five years to be exact. I found myself in the bottom of my own self- reflection pool where my subconscious rules what my waking self had trouble understanding. My biggest fear wasn't my carbon footprint , it was the fact that we have a system that seems broken but really isn't it was designed to bring us to ruin, that is all we have come to learn about how we are more or less divine, but react as nothing more than all-consuming viruses, capable of consuming, devouring and destroying everything, including the world in which we live. I personally hated biochemical threats of warfare, especially when there really wasn't anything worth fighting for from that point of view. So being raw was probably a good thing inasmuch as a clean slate can hold more than a full slate of misguided preconceived notions about how we should live our lives.
