Be a sport...

Would it be so bad if each sport event ended with a cathartic event? As it seems that the custom these days is to riot after a sporting event, why not just set up a gladiatorial contest en masse after each game?

Death is an asshole

My head is confused, my emotions are subtle and nearly flat. I don’t really know how to go, so I go as I always have...with perseverance and faith, inconstancy and doubt. I write that and ponder how one death, albeit the most important death other than my own, can make of an entire world an alien universe? I have survived nearly 18 months of grueling grief.

   In cold space, meaning dark space, where no light shines... In that space, comets are frozen, they show no tail. Despite the speed of their flight through the universe, no friction festoons their passing with icy particles, as they tumble and yaw through the jet black void. Imagine how they feel, so cold, frozen as hard as rock tumbling through emptiness,  not knowing where they come from. We all breathe comet air.
