• Randomization

  I discovered that the more active I am on my blog, the less frequently I write in my diary. I risk losing a lot of memories this way. I must stop before it is too late. I discovered that I think too much. I overthink, if there is such an activity. It’s Read More... Posted 19-03-2008 05:52 from Tololy's Box | 0 Comments Filed under Personal

• Human Sovereignty

  Here 's another discussion I've long been meaning to return to.

  In light of the current climate of MOAUU, I've decided to vent a little religious indignation of my own.
