"we stand on a great threshold! It's okay to be scared; many of you won't be coming back. Thanks to Batman, the time has come to punish all God's children! 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th-born! Why be biased? Male and female! Hell, the sexes are equal with their erogenous zones blown sky high! Forward march! The liberation of Gotham has begun!" - Rudy Giuliani
who me? i'm just a poor lower class fine art patron.
i haven't been the same since my first snow storm in 71. Even now every time i close my eyes, i see the white blinding the darkness of thousands of snowflakes. Not that you could ever see those tiny snowflakes, mind you. They were fast and they knew their way around the cold air. i remembers the looks on those boy's faces when they walked into that village and... oh Jesus. i shouldn't think about that now. Sometimes i still hear Tex's slow southern drawl. i remember the smell of Brooklyn's cigarettes in the frozen air. He always had a pack of Luckys. But the boys are gone now... i know that. It's--it's just that i forget sometimes. And sometimes all it takes is the way a snowman yard decoration looks at me... just it makes me think. Sets me on edge. And i feels like I'm right back there... In the blizzard... In the whiteout..
not to play devil's advocate here, but for the average interwebs John Q. Public user isn't a karma "fence" that has to at least be climbed, better than nothing at all? but yeah of course its a false sense of security.
