The Easter Bunnyand Santa Claus were phonies.More childhood dreams dashed.

 

 

This cannot be true!

Tooth-Fairy will know; I have

ten teeth saved for her.............

 

 

Adults. Serious guys

we think, and hide our dreams or

break them. Silly. Don’t.

You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you may just find you get what you need

Face reality.

There is no past nor future.

There is just today.

But, you might as well

be thinking of Santa Claus.

It doesn't exist.

Nothing exists, not

even us. We'll soon become

ash.* Life is pointless.

 

*But what is ash? Nothing.

Nihilists unite!

Stand up for what you believe-

We are all useless.

Fear not, nihilists,

Like the moon, the earth needs dust.

You are not useless!

To live is to dust?

Vacuuming is all we have?

All pray to Swiffer?

On the Importance of Choosing the Right Black Hole

 

Carefully choose your

How do you furnish

your cozy black hole dwelling?

Shag carpet and black lights?

Swallow the drink down,

if you will, but a black hole

is no place to die.

Too much Black Label

And one's soul becomes blue. Just

be happy with sips.

It's hard to find joy

while living in a black hole.

Too much gravity*.

It is raining here.

Dark clouds make darker skies. But

then the sun will shine.

The weather changes.

Useless long term predictions

are seldom correct.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
