When traveling in monster territory, it’s best to avoid wearing cologne. If hungry giants can smell Christian faith or English blood they can probably smell Axe Body Spray or the latest from Paco Rabanne.

We are always going somewhere. It’s rarely where we planned. We always arrive somewhere else even when we think it’s our expected destination.

What does that look mean? Is it automatic? Is the brain registering what the eyes are seeing? Or is the brain seeing other, more private sights?

Sometimes you eat the terrifying undead bear. Sometimes the terrifying undead bear eats you.
If you eat the terrifying undead bear you will, at best, get fatal indigestion. At worst you will become a terrifying undead version of yourself who must seek out and eat anyone who stumbles across your path.
If the terrifying undead bear eats you, it might burp and take a nap. Then it will go looking for someone else to eat.
Happy Birthday to:

Do not be deceived into thinking that doodling is a waste of time. A doodle is a message from god. Not God, the Creator of the Universe. That being did its work and moved on. Doodles are messages from the small god of inpiration and random brilliance. If you’re lucky, you’ll be struck by an epiphany while moving your pen across the paper. If not, you’ll still have left a fascinating set of marks on a processed tree carcass.
Set the doodle aside. Come back to it later. Perhaps then the message will be clear.
Happy Birthday to:

The first plants appeared on land about 700 million years ago. At the time, the land was just a lot of rock. There wasn’t much dirt because dirt is mostly the biproduct of life and life on land was rare and microscopic. The plants took scope of their new environment and decided to redecorate. Thank heavens.
Rocks are great but trees are better conversationalists.

Swamp meets sewer. Friends for unlife. Siblings in sliminess. Why fight over small differences when y’all can team up right away?
