The Latest — December 2, 2014 at 1:03 pmIn a rolling green valley behind the hills just outside of town, the first cold night of the holiday season awakens rows of beautiful dark green trees from their summertime slumber. Trees of all kind, from cedar and spruce to pine and fir grow in this very special place. Through their stately boughs the long hot summer stillness is ushered away by the cool midnight breeze.

“From what I can tell, Gomez sang a bit, but it could have been much worse. Can you fix it?” asked Cantu.
The man in white puffed thoughtfully on his pipe and blew a few smoke...

Exit Planet Dust

So there is some dust around here, links to pages published years ago dripping with the wide-eyed wonderment of an optimistic younger version of myself at the wheel. For a moment I considered deleting them, there is some really sketchy shit contained on those pages, but then I saw them for what they...

The Calm Before the Storm
Mattie and Alaric walked from the Cadillac to a large patio bursting with giant green philodendron and the unmistakable fragrance of jasmine. A small table played host to three men playing dominoes pausing only briefly to look up at them as they passed, nodding...

If you hadn’t tried it, you had heard of it, and when you heard about it, you couldn’t believe it. All the music you could ever hope to listen to, for free and there for the taking. Now pirating music is a no-no and I think we all had...
