If you already know the ending can you prevent it from happening? Can you change it? Or are you only able to temporarily prevent the inevitable? And is attempting to prevent the inevitable a form of foolish ignorance?
What keeps the clock ticking?

This past weekend I ventured home to Vegas for a childhood friend’s wedding which was amazing and well put together. It was a perfect way to spend the weekend… minus the speeding ticket I got on the way down. Her wedding and reception was Friday and lasted until the evening. I had to be back […]
I feel as if life is a single grain of sand and we are approaching the fall to the other side of the hourglass. We are running out of time and have become so overturned that we are at a point where we can no longer tell which way is out. A single grain of […]

Reality is a predominant sketching on the faded surface of mystery. It is between reality and imagination that the splendors of mystery thoroughly exist. Mystery is what combines infinite beauty and invisible detail together and allows one to escape the limitations of the mind. It is impossible to escape the consequences of reality, but it […]
