14. if you think about it, the shape of the universe is kinda like a cornucopia. or like, a funnel that smoothly increases in size. or like a waterslide ride where you spin around a bit before dropping down the center. sometimes affectionately referred to as "the toilet ride", even though that's just the wrong connotation. we could have perfectly sanitary theme parks, we just... don't... because our priorities are on selling stereos and stocks. anyway, there's several purple lines, the color of blending blue and red, both colors present in america, cast upon the gray background of the undecideds, collectively engaged in a mutual exchange. there is a blue upside down silly snake, this time with bright red aviators, and beside it is a scarring wound. some break in reality that is unfortunate, but part of their interdisciplinaries, so don't worry one bit about it. life may seem far from strange, but your lifetimes of finite portrayals and fanciful adaptations to the expressions of your own emanations both confirm and delight our attentions on you. Surely you are not aware, of our love and perspective [fair], but we still love you from afar. how could a star not cherish another star? It's time that's our only moat. the reason the universe appears empty of life is because it's impossible to travel under the blanket of spacetime. through gravity, up and under our shared reality, out and beyond to another. rockets pierce reality, which they didn't expect L O L who would have tht

16 I think? don't really remember the last one. anyway bright green background with a quite interesting transition fabric display - something textured and rippled, like the connections between a torn piece of paper that's been stitched together bit by bit with a careful and measured hand. the text reads "neocities sites just need to be attached to an address, and given a useful search browser that uses openstreetmaps." this is displayed on a background of brown orange and yellow, while the text is written in salmon. the result is the text (which overflows onto both backgrounds) is equidistant from both background colors, just in different directions. We know instinctively that purple and blue are similar, but a blind person might not. these words are given a framing as if they were placed in a 3d game engine upon a poster or billboard. in dark blue upon the bright green background, blue the color of calm rationality and green the color of aliens from old timey media who live on the moon. well, the ones who just want to chill and have a beer with you, maybe listen to your stories about life in the strange world called humanity, but not the kind that they tell us about. like, it's really hard to get here, so why would they want to mess it up when they got here? such a strange thought. anyway the text reads: "openstreetmaps is a website that lets you view the addressess of people who live nearby you. why you'd want them, who can say. the point is that the functionality already

13. here's where it starts to get spicy, and I apologize if it's too extreme, but words come forth *from* me, not by my perceived designs pronounced deh zeens. top left - yellow, the color of sunflowers and familiarly painted houses, cast upon a strange pink background - pink the color of sisters and bubblegum. yellow lines draw a shape, of which it's perspective is hard to configure - but most would consider it to be the shape of a mobile, hanging above a crib, with a kite shaped object (or perhaps multiple individual artifacts) suspended above a target. could be an object, or possibly a human subject, but the end result is that the maximized rays of the individualized emanations of that particular pieces of object, cast forth onto a pre-programmed piece of toast. ... I don't know why I said toast, what I mean was that you can enchant people and things by exposing them to the wavelength waves of radiating objects. things like, marcelline's t-shirt or excalibur or the shroud of turin or the constitution or some other precious object. if you place them in orbit around an object, their expressions will send forth to fulfill their manifestations upon the willfully absorbing object. have you ever wondered why objects tend to congregate? like, computers flock to server mills, trash piles to landfills, and people will wander the length of the beach. all things are gravitic, function, type, characteristic, motivations, empathic feelings, all congregate around one another. 0 codes

15. picture of an upside-down triforce placed in a rack like a computer storage unit. cyan text with pink background reads "this is the only thing that challenges me"

12. the text continues from the previous page and reads "if it's been ten or more years since they moved in, the site gets rebuilt. [wait, hang on, weren't we talking about html websites? when did houses come into the discussion?] ... wait, what was I saying? Oh yeah the text is on a gray background, as interrupting as a scythe, with a yellow backdrop as if to represent sheer white-hot flame except not white the color of all colors but fire the color of all flames. the text reads "prince of the nehalim" in bright pinking blue, as in something completely foreign and unknown to you, and continues on to read in red "so many opportunities" as if life hadn't absconded, but instead of severed instead. "parabolas persist" in the flavor of blue, the color of space in a non-light polluted view. "live life like you're merry, as do but a few." do you want to make people feel better? or do you just want to make them confused? Neither, really, I'm trying to tell the truth. I'm seriously just struggling to find a way to express things that others clearly seem to be forgetting - I'm not an expert in other stuff! This is literally all I'm good at! Is it valuable? Maybe not to you, but I think it could be useful, or else I would covet it and leave it in disuse. it's time is relevant, it's words fit into a context, so if you misunderstand it's past then it's probably because you don't have the records or the ability to process them of the time in which it was posted. What if things were de

10 ten. blue text on a blue background, as a calming and soothing influence, saying "it's okay, don't freak out, just think about learning lessons about stuff that *could* go wrong and think about how you'd counter it. just like any video game, there's a strategy to defeat any other strategy. the careful application of said strategy while using or applying your own capabilities is directly correlated to the conclusions of the task." meanwhile the listener is like "what the fuck" wait shit hang on lemme add a content warning: right so the text reads "if you want your neighbors to know something, don't post it on the internet - put it on a post-it on the wall in a public place" like, your front door, or maybe the entrance to your building, or the parking garage near the mall, or maybe the grocery store, on a product behind the one in front. that kind of thing. depending on who you want to see it, of course... people used to do this with library books but stopped because it's quite obviously a bad and rude thing to do, books are for record keeping of the status of humanity, through each and every one of it's forms. It's weird that they all have the same stuff, because they're designed for capitalism right? Why not share them based on availability, and keep as many different types of things as possible? when nobody cares for them, how will we remember the countless books nobody reads? How will we understand that step in developing our culture if we don't have access to the con

9. the text begins to diverge at this point, on the left it reads "it's easy if you want some privacy, - all you have to do" and then is cut off by the introduction of red text on a green background, to evoke similar colors as the original thing it was interrupting but it's own thing nonetheless, and existing off to the side in tandem, so that conditions could not remain unaddressed. the text reads "they were betting on selling us space flight [with spaceflight sliding from one side to the other, like a rocket escaping the gravitic pull of the planet it surrounded] but we cared more for food and water" the second part, after spaceflight about food and water, is intruding onto the yellow's background, which was next, to represent a continuation of the previous thought about websites and HTML. it's frustrating for the next text, which is in purple, a confused and disoriented color. it continues from the original thought "is delete the website! Boom, no more html. but if they were listed (neocities sites on a map of the region" but map is emphasized with a different color, green the color of the land, and "region" is pronounced like "realm" or perhaps "ground" or even "directions" or "land beyond the horizon (if it even exists)")

11. I think. orange text on a green blue background, same background as the previous three pictures. orange text which contrasts in a way that almost calls back to the 80s, but not quite. a little too dirty, like the blue and orange decorations around highways in New Mexico. car smoke and tire dust'll do that, and it's not like it's easy to clean - right next to the freeway, c'mon! Wouldn't it be nice if we shut it down for a day or two? Unless you had very important business, solely self-suggested. if too many people used it on those days (when they were cleaning it) then they're supposed to follow through and identify if their need was too great or if they were just being an asshole about it because their bosses forced them to. basically like, family emergencies gets a lane, things that are crucial to a social event like no beer at a frat party or whatever, heck even if the girl you like really wanted to get laid. whatever the heck it is, if you deem it an emergency then that's fine. you can drive while the highway is being cleaned. just make sure you don't slip on the suds... ... a while later, humanity realized they could just close one direction at a time and clean the next one next time. what was I saying? Oh yeah the text! Here's what it reads: "every year, replace five percent [but read as %] of the homes and boom you're good - maybe even do 10% if things are going well - either way, as time goes on people can live in a house as long as they want - but when they mov

 5/20 actually I lied there's 20 pictures so this is the last one.
 
 hang on that's weird if there's four pictures per slide, and the first one had
 the first dedicated to the full image, wonder what happened inbetween? weird,
 there's nothing on the record that says - oh, wait, there it is, three for the
 first one, four makes seven, then four more is eleven and then fifteen then
 these last three are... wait hang on that's even fewer. can you check it
 again? yeah sure no problem [doesn't]
 
 EDIT: I was wrong there were only 19 pictures, my bad hehe

17. green, the color of growth and renewal, the color of home and our source of fuel, is cast upon a stark black background. white starlight is the color of text, and it reads in big bold colors, like the beginning of a star wars film where the text crawls past (and isn't narrated, which is frustrating but hey the music's supposed to convey all that stuff. and it can be read out afterwards if you want.) the text reads: "we can do whatever we want on this planet we call earth. - we could burn it to cinders, we could lose it in mirth. - life has no ending, no permanent abaddon. - and time is immeasurable, when talking about mill [here the text is cut off, and it could read "millions" or "millenia" either way would make sense] but the text continues, and reads "ns of people who are miserable. - we can build a dear future" with "dear future" sliding down, as if to direct the user's attention to the conclusion of the image. - "just one byte at a time." this last text is above a computer lab, or perhaps an altar to the gods of astronomy, a palace that we build out of marble as a testament to the honor we have for the gods. I think just about every religion would appreciate such a common purpose, as long as it's not taken to the extreme. the pictured shrine is small, like the size of the mall of america. but still it's a place for the gods to roam, free from the eyes of humans. Like mount olympus, or the tops of skyscrapers, or other such moments of home. the home is upon moongray

18. in gray, with no connections shown to either of the connecting panels, not because of a design decision but rather just because this perspective is mostly focused on it's own, and that's the friendliest and calmest interpretation of humanity. just someone who wants to be good in their town, a life lived for no lacked renown, but still one that's fine with an office. it reads, in black, the color of standards, on gray, the color of plackards, "ho hum what a day at the office. wonder what time it could be. eh, well, time for lunch it must be. I've five in my pocket, that's enough for tea, and time's on the docket, for percy and steve. such pretty clouds today. wonder what life's like in american."

19. bright blue background, to evoke early Windows style interfaces, like DOS but better because it had a UI. or idk like amiga, borland? something like that. something I wouldn't have been exposed to if not for the people who hang out on places like this, who post things about retro hardware and things they're working on and projects they're building and things that are inspiring and shared cultural nostalgia built upon our shared computer convival in an orange slanted background with stable white text, there reads "did you know" and it's cut off to the next line, which reads "robots are t" with the "t" possibly suggesting "taking" but there's no evidence one way or another, just like global warming or capitalism denial. - the next part reads "control kay eye oh eff" as in it's mispelled as in if someone's typing something really fast and can't be boethered to fix it because fo that mistake for thall time and memorial it's forever debated their meaning or whatever. because archaeologists sure know what they're talking about when they say "these flowers were a mating ritual" or "that bee is like, totally crazy" or whatever. anyway on the bottom there's a broken box, like if someone took a VHS and split it in two, which is suggested by the yellow text upon a blue and black background which was the color of blockbuster video, surely that's not lost to time? tell me we still have blockbusters in the future, they're so cool! I have fond memories of them, but what do you mean th

 I collect samples of moss sometimes, when some has fallen from a tree or
 otherwise is approaching it's end. I have several kinds, but I'm still
 learning how to take care of them - had a problem with mold recently. Not
 enough airflow I guess.

 once and again, she went walking with a friend,
 
 away and up and down, out from the edge of our town
 
 they climbed up to a tree and there they could see
 
 far and away in the light of the day
 
 he said to her then, this is all there is to see
 
 the land where we are
 and the sky from afar
 
 how perfect is the, form of a cloud she could see
 but now it's along and beyond her
 
 a camera for she, and an eye for she
 as their two feet did bring her to wander
 
 under a big tree where my heart did believe
 that something was pulling her yonder

 Such a random question, right, totally random to have contacts all over the
 nation. Sure would be strange to be multicultural and travelled, to know lots
 of customs from all over the place. Almost as strange as being a singular
 representation of your home, a place that is impossible for you to desecrate.
 
 truly, our faith in the land is what gave us this plan. guided along by our
 collective hopes.
 
 how strange, to live through another, to see the world through their hands.

 there's only one kind of acceptable nudity for a child to see - 0.5 seconds of
 it wayyyyy in the distance with like "omg did you see that guy - he was
 totally naked!" "whaaaat no way" "yeah I totally saw his butt" "lol I wonder
 if his wife kicked him out after a fight" "hahaha how silly, life is normal
 and fine hehe" meanwhile the parents turn down a different, hopefully normal
 road
 
 (the wrong kind is more than apparent.)
 
 I guess also like... showers with parents? That's a sacred and holy thing. 
 
 straight-to-hell is when they make applications for children's iOS devices
 that perform a typical, interesting function for a baby to use - like a game,
 or a video of dancing animals, or shapes floating in a colorless void
 (shoutout to Celebration of Color on vhs)

those are normal and fine - but when they're used for a sneaky, evil purpose, like when they facial recognition that nobody is around for ~3+ hours they start subliminally flashing pictures of boobs or whatever. Not cool guys, just because babies are naturally attracted to boobs doesn't mean you get to use sexual imagery to get them hooked on your app. smh [shaking-my-head][which btw there isn't a good emoji for][same for these angle bracket guys like - what does that face even mean!! lmao who can say, only those nerds who lived in the pre-internet-age, but they're all reclassified by now. >.> <.<

 and vengeance and pay special attention to the way that you cauterize each
 tentacle as you slice them one by one at first, and then in a massive flurry
 at best, ultimately leading to the incomparable brightness that radiates out
 from your shining blade of the sky, which blinds the poor beast who can't see
 you as you approach, piercing the skull and then going home for some toast

 sometimes I think about how much more productive I'd be if I had a code editor
 that let me draw arrows and smiley faces and such alongside the code. Or if I
 could position things strangely, like two functions side-by-side with boxes
 drawn around them. Or diagrams or flowcharts or graphs or...
 
 something that would output to raw txt format, but would present itself as an
 image that could be edited.

 Cast upon a pale blue background, the brilliant reflections appeared as
 endless rainbows without arches - but cast upon a world so distant it was
 infinite - like sunlight radiating from the darkness of the surrounding night.
 The perspective of a dewdrop, resting on a stone in a forest, the world must
 seem so infinite - stretching out beyond comprehension, beyond the limits of
 what may be - massive yet constant, changing as it seethed.

 Your body is a river, from your mouth to your exits
 Throughout there are many pathways and shores
 As the tide goes up, the color of concentration goes up
 And all four of you are made clear
 
 Each act of consumption
 is a ride down the river,
 though broken into slivers,
 and changed beyond recognition
 
 The color is what defines the third eye
 and beauty is beheld, what joys to be felt
 While secrecy is bold, it's often held
 So worry less and just go with the fold

 there will always be people who shine in moments of strife
 
 yet those people will inevitably fail, just as a toothbrush bristle looses
 it's strength or a pencil loses it's lead
 
 the trick is to test them in times of peace, so you can know their value
 
 during times that lack it, the trick is to replace them before they become
 stalin
 
 never forget that power corrupts, yet power must be wielded by the worthy,
 else we fall into shame and despair.

 a man walks into a library, picks a book, takes it home (legally), and begins
 to read.
 
 halfway through, he realizes there are three pages missing.
 
 "How queer!" he thinks to himself, and takes it upon himself to fix this book.
 So, he finds another copy of the book, scans those three pages, prints them
 out at just the right size, and attaches them to the library book.
 
 when finished reading the book, he returns it to the library without
 mentioning his good deed.
 
 if this action he performed is to be considered legal, then it should be
 considered a transition of the medium that the media was inscribed upon.
 
 Similarly, if the book was digital, and inscribed upon the owner's hard drive
 using magnetic storage of zeroes and ones, would it be legal to repair said
 book if one of the many .txt file chapters were missing?

 Oh what a life, wouldn't that be grand? Video games are a complex subject, and
 require complex analysis - the likes of which could only be shared through an
 extended explanation and exploration - perhaps in the context of a university
 course, might a particular genre be plumbed? We have art history degrees for a
 reason. People discuss the history of math and physics in much the same way.
 Thank goodness for YouTube, I have no idea how we'd share the history of
 computers and gaming if not for the people making retrospectives on obscure
 hardware from 1988.

 a shockingly large amount of people think "if my people were in power,
 things'd be all okay [groupthink]". The truth is more similar than you'd
 expect, because whenever "a group takes over" what really happens is all the
 groups are shuffled, and people find themselves in social bubbles that align
 to their focus in life, and suddenly there's not "[y/our]" side but instead
 "this side and that side" or "that side and this side and that side and this
 side" or "that side and this side and her side and downside and rightside and
 [up/down] and pivot and roll and deploy aieriolons and other things that help
 the pilot guide their flight through the spacesound.

 gotta start somewhere! and where better to start than here? someplace people
 are familiar with, because "here", while not shared equally or equidistantly,
 is still common enough knowledge that people can feel comfortable with some
 slight, yet incredibly impactful, alterations.
 
 ... though "comfort" in the short-term isn't always the most important thing.
 I do believe it can be useful sometimes. How are you going to get people to
 consent to something if they don't think it helps them, and how can you show
 them that it helps them if it makes them uncomfortable?

 Nobody will tell you what to do, at least not until you ask. Be where they can
 see you, and you'll be given a task. If you can do it, say "BRB" - one moment,
 let me handle that for you.
 
 If you can't, say "good luck", and they'll find someone else who can.
 
 It's okay to pass a task off - if someone says "Here's what I need, gotta go"
 then you say "sure, yeah, I'll get someone on it" - then, go find someone to
 do it.

 don't move because of politics or whatever. We can handle that.

 the sun goes silent for a year, to protest the earth's dying moments
 
 one day in march, the light of our life disappears. we know not of why it has \
 departed, except that whatever it was happened eight minutes ago.
 
 we cowered in fear as one day it refused to rise
 
 as our antipode saw it vanish
 
 with naught but our ears
 
 we saw stars never imagined
 
 with the light of our life suddenly vanished
 
 our true plight came naturally as our fear
 
 but tomorrow it'll re-imagine,
 
 as it's been almost exactly one year
 
 one full rotation,
 
 to get the message across,
 
 then with man as our [signal, \
                       message, \
                       conveyor, \
                       performer, \
                       expression, \
                       by-product communication,]
 
 what's our earth is our star

 one of my most humbling political memories is getting in a fight with a kid at
 school (okay, a heated argument) because he said republicans lower taxes and I
 thought democrats did.
 
 turns out we were both right, because one of our dads had money.
 
 gotta raise taxes for public services, and well inflation's just a fact of
 life y'know, at least stuff doesn't cost as much as way back when.

 most people know the quote by shakespeare "life is but a stage" but they don't
 know the full quote. Here it is:
 
 "theres this cool thing that actors often have to do in the pitch black
 darkness of the wings of a stage called "quick changing" where they rapidly
 switch outfits so that the cops um audience can't find them. It's a good skill
 to practice if you have a premeditated performance to perform on the stage of
 life is but a stage."

 Well, I failed the mandate of heaven last year, and I failed the trial of the
 hero this summer, what's next? I'll do my best at those as well,  so the next
 person has an easier time of it.
 
 unrelated, but today I saw a bald eagle outside my apartment. Well, I'm not
 sure if it was bald but it "KREEEEEE"'d like they do. Plus it had a white head
 and a yellow beak, but I'm not an ornithologist so idk. It perched on a tree
 that I could spy on from my hammock through my binoculars, and I swear it was
 eye-ing my fat juicy cat through the bars of my porch's railing. They have
 excellent vision.
 
 Might be related, we'll see.
