Desolate mortals we are

Searching amidst an existence we wish to be oceanic in nature yet is anything but; a desiccated sea which rapidly withers away with each ing trip around the solar star.  

We desire rapport with those around us; authentic kinship to tether us to our fellow peers even if minuscule. And despite this, our yearning for a purpose is equally, if not just as ravenous.

The only question one can be left with…

The Multifarious Monster of Monsters, The King of Kaiju, the Atomic onitory: GODZILLER!

Contemplative creatures  

“Father…Are you going to sell out mankind to the spacemen? Don’t you know anything? It’ll become one of the greatest destroyers of life! Just like King Ghidorah, Rodan and Manda! Do you want Titanosaurus to be a monster just like them?” 

I think about this film quite often. Despite my rather apathetic assessments in the past I’ve never been able to fully wipe it…

Ethan Hunt no! 

Defying callous indifference; escaping the clutches of conformity before there’s no more time to do so.

Oooo, actual color. 

Kinda like the equivalent of watching a 5 ½ hour long epic at 2x speed whilst still skipping through it every five minutes or so.
