    • I think I would go insane. That's why all the golden posts should be put into the QBN Anthology.juhls

    Blog is to in-joke meme what fruitfly colony is to accelerated evolutionary research. 2 days out and you miss whole biological systems exploding into birth and only catch on in time to see them burn out from a position of utter confusion.

    I've been working hard for, ooo, maybe the last 2 days out of the last 5 years and I feel like the new guy again. bonkers.

    Social Futurists would have a field day with this thread. I'm actually half convinced one of number actually IS one.

    Very early sketch of a few letters in the typeface I'm working on, this should somehow form the base of it. It's purely based on paper drawing I have made the last couple of weeks, does it lean up against something already made? If so, I would like to know.

    our entire civilization seems perched on the precipice of a breathtaking, nausea-inducing plunge of faith... can we find equilibrium at this new low, or is it every man for himself?

    maybe its time for the experiment to end, maybe we're better at existing in small family-based groups, out of touch with the wider world. Maybe we should be tribal again, maybe that would feel good. Would be nice to make sure and join one of teh tribes that still has Nuclear weapons.

    Scary times, but honestly people it's been worse. There was nothing left of Poland, Germany, bits of France and the UK sixty years ago. Nothing. Carpet bombed. The German currency was worthless. By the sixties everything was rolling along just fine again.
    Or the depression — massive unemployment and a drought to boot!
    Or the quake in SF in 1906.
    Civilisation is built for disaster, it just sucks that we're ringside for it. Jobs will be found and created. Equilibrium will be found.... eventually.
    This too, in time, shall pass.

    the car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
    and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
    and a dark wind blows

    the government is corrupt
    and we're on so many drugs
    with the radio on and the curtains drawn

    we're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
    and the machine is bleeding to death

    the sun has fallen down
    and the billboards are all leering
    and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles

    it went like this:

    the buildings tumbled in on themselves
    mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble
    and pulled out their hair

    the skyline was beautiful on fire
    all twisted metal stretching upwards
    everything washed in a thin orange haze

    i said: "kiss me, you're beautiful -
    these are truly the last days"

    you grabbed my hand and we fell into it
    like a daydream or a fever

    we woke up one morning and fell a little further down -
    for sure it's the valley of death

    i open up my wallet
    and it's full of blood

    d'you think the end of the world is coming?

    the preacher man says it's the end of time...he says that america's rivers are going dry. the interest is up, the stock market's down. you guys have to be careful walking around here this late at night... this... this is the perfect place to get jumped.

    but d'you think the end of the world is coming?

    no. so says the preacher man but... I don't go by what he says.
