I forgot how much I love this place. A beach, a coffee shop, a downtown, and a university. So quaint. So drenched. Wonderful all the same.
Wasting Away
My bedroom
Has clothes
Scattered all around
Empty glasses of
Old water ornament
My end table
My pillow’s full
Of dried tears and
Ugly expressions
Somewhere, buried, there’s
Two bags of junk food
Crumpled up and discarded
And when I wake up
Every morning I choke
Back bile
Not just for my own sake
For everyone else’s
I should smile
Not
Wasting away
Not bathing
In sorrow
Hoping the memories
Will swarm and
Take me down
To drown
Pecking like a bird
At a nest to
Make it comfortable
I want all the t...

Cafeteria
I miss those
Stupid, awful
Dull-flavored
Triangles of
Spicy
Chicken served
On two slabs of
Quarter-inch thick
White bread.

Dysthymia
I wish there were a way
To make yellow the blue
Light shining in through
The window on you
It’s hard to see you so
Sad so often
No one deserves to see
Their sunshine shift away
So fast as to bend light
Away from itself
It sounds like a chemical
You’d find in a cigarette
Or your favorite
Bottle of liquor
Dysthymia:
Ye be warned who enter here
I am a monster and
Will feed your fear
It seems to take the ashes
Falling off the end
And tint them away
From anything you wanted
It peels back the sprin...

News – Everything Bad Forever
Day 1,159 – Citizens from all around Reality City have gathered around and made it official: everything is bad and will be forever.
This comes straight from the top of the digital age, and so each citizen has declared that independent associations are bad, and therefore everything is bad forever. Research suggests that what follows next will be an unparalleled era of turmoil and despair.
“I couldn’t believe everyone else thought the same thing,” says Joseph, a resident of the Un district. “I...
Xodarap – Sounds from Reality City
Yet another extension of the original intro track. This time at about 4 and a half minutes.
Paradox – Journal 7/7/2018
Been a while. Some cool stuff has happened. These journals are becoming more sparse as things cool on and off around the station. Which, I can call my new PC setup the station proper.
A journal or two ago I mentioned Unreal Engine 4 developments for the Oculus Rift but boy is Unreal hard to get into as a beginner. I was chatting with a Unity dev the other day who ushered me to give that engine a try over Unreal. I’m not planning on making the next big hit, just a toolkit to play around with c...
