Whistle in the sky. We run into the hallway and hide.

The crash of breaking windows sounds in ballet class. The teacher looks at us, makes sure everyone is alright, and lets out a breath. “Class is over. Call your folks to take you home.”

We know it’s best to go home. The grown-ups need to clean broken glass from the floor and make a temporary fix of the windows. It won’t t Read more of this blog post »

“Focus, Bernard!”
Naito Diamond

“Biorobots should not behave this way.”
Naito Diamond

“We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and—in spite of True Romance magazines—we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely—at least, not all the time—but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”
Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967

“Biorobots should not behave this way.”
Naito Diamond

“Focus, Bernard!”
Naito Diamond

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”
Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967

“A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance.”
Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967
