Ramble On: Winter 2024-2025 Edition

  Round 2: Fight!  Playlist Link: Ramble On Winter 2024-2025   The concept of a guardian angel not wanting to do their job. By all means, eat his heart, but don’t expect to gain any courage from doing so.  Loyalty is my biggest kink (and honesty is a close second). Why is it always “ _ _ 7” when it comes to heroes — James Bond, 007. Master Chief, 117. Who is going to be 227? 337? At what point do fictional militaries start looking like they’re putting faith in angel numbers?  Quickest to rise is the first to fall…and those who fall the hardest rise the furthest.  Bite me.  Everything I write is open to (mis)interpretation.  Polish pearls on your nose.  Appalooooooooooooosa  I’m over video games that make you wait around to fly through space forever, just to land on a planet of desolation and dust. Nothing else about these games is realistic, so why aren’t we making more interesting planets. Show me a planet made entirely of Bismuth. Or d...

Or if I'd finally stay down.

Drift off with the wind.

Disappear into the quiet.

  1. Evocative color dynamic: white and red mixed together with the dark soil that lies under the ice.

    They say that after your core body temperature lowers enough, freezing begins to feel warm.

    1. It’s interesting that you assumed “dark soil” would even be achievable through that much frost. Or that there wouldn’t just be frigid water underneath. Who’s to say it’s not happening on a frozen lakebed? Do you hail from a warmer climate? Maybe an arid one?

  2. I hadn't considered a frozen lake. It changes the color scheme-- red, white, teal. You're right, though, my immediate assumption was permafrost. But imagining this scene happening on a frozen lake might lend more to the idea of staying down. After all, getting up might risk breaking through the ice.

    It was definitely warm here today.
