The tale of a self-destructive reality

Long long ago, before the dawn of time and space, a being of unfathomable scale and power took its last breath, its limp body sinking through the surrounding void, veins bleeding time and body rotting into universes, but some universes were made of flesh that wasn't so decayed, that was fresh enough that it still had some of that infinite power that every primordial scavenger sought to harness, and harness they did, creating vast inter-universal empires headed by warlords wielding god-like power, who hoarded their territories like raccoons, if raccoons were so inclined to hold territory, but some raccoons are more ambitious than others, and warlords were no different, as one of them, Ygadle, had a scheme, by using their near-infinite power, they could repurpose one of their universes into a device known as the Eternity Engine, a hyperspherical construct, quadrillions of light years in diameter, with the capability of pumping the temporal blood back into the corpse from which all reality grew, and in doing so, reversing the flow of time itself, allowing the warlord to revitalize the putrid remains and harness even more of the god-being's energy to conquer reality, but there was just one issue: every other warlord knew about the Eternity Engine, and so every faction came down on Ygadle in a war lasting billions of years, where soldiers died by the trillions for only an inch of progress, but even after Ygadle and their forces were long gone, the other warlords fought over control of the device, extending the war into uncountable epochs, until finally, the last warlord, Glthmir, stood triumphant as the sole, all-powerful dictator of existence, but as the Eternity Engine was built to provide an advantage in the turf war, and Glthmir was already the most powerful being alive, any additional power granted by the Eternity Engine would be superfluous, but an unquenchable lust for ever more power drove Glthmir to activate it anyway, as everyone in existence watched with awe that swiftly turned to horror as the Eternity Engine worked too well, the flesh of the corpse became too revitalized, and shook the foundation of reality as the god-being, whose death facilitated the continued existence of all this new life, arose once more and carried on its way, completely oblivious to all the history, civilization, and lives that were lost by its reawakening.

Juggling. Yes, really.

Juggling (Yes, really)      Adventure! Intrigue! Exploration!      I wanted none of these things. A hermit by nature, I prefer doing anything and everything at my house, indoors. There is a certain charm to doing things at your own house that you can't get anywhere else: the food is more appetizing; The chairs, more comfortable; The water, more wet! Yes, truly, the way to live life is to shut yourself indoors and never have any human interaction ever (this is sarcasm). So, what new activity and/or experience could I have with no budget and in the snug comfort of four walls? Well, you read the title, you know the answer: Juggling!      Juggling, the act of throwing and catching two or more objects over and over again. We humans clearly have very high standards for what we consider entertaining (this is also sarcasm). Now, I rag on it, but juggling is genuinely fun to watch, and is the perfect amount of clownish whimsy to fit the vibe ...

Pandemic Book Part 2: Electric Boogaloo

      I'm not sure how I'm supposed to follow the note because I can't see what passages other people picked until I submit this. -writing this as I read, I find it  mildly interesting that Jeevan was a paparazzo twice. I thought it was one solid block of his life, but nope. -Also, what kind of name is Jeevan? for the remainder of this blog I'm gonna call him Jeeves -calling it now I think Frank's gonna die or otherwise be separated from Jeeves. -"his hands ached from compressing Arthur's unwilling heart" is a pretty neat line, good contender for the line I'll discuss. -when Jeeves's phone rang and he said "hua" I thought that was an exclamation of surprise, like "HUH?!" -I'm disappointed to find out Arthur wasn't patient zero, makes him less interesting to me, and it also makes the original "and this is when it happened" line I praised very dull in hindsight. Because even if "it" didn't happe...

week 3 discussion 1

     Fear tastes like a chili pepper that is way above your spice tolerance, making it hurt to swallow and difficult to breathe, something that replaces rational thought with a single-minded NEED to remove this horrible feeling as fast as possible, by any means necessary.     J oy smells like everything and nothing, because I can't smell.      My future sounds like a hellish cacophony of 30 different orchestras all playing different symphonies, probably beautiful individually but when perceiving all the possibilities at once it becomes overwhelming.     Freedom is a break from a long road trip in a cramped car to stretch your legs.     Hatred feels like two bubbling cauldrons of acid (one in your skull and one in your gut) that threaten to melt you from the inside out, and whos caustic fumes accumulate inside your cavities until you explode from the pressure.     Jealousy looks like a gnarled green imp contorted into ...
