July

I previously mocked how utterly bland and placeholder naming an MMORPG "New World" was, but I now see that's a comparatively lesser sin.

I dunno man, this might be *too* on the nose.

"Trouble will find you
It's hard work to avoid you
It is the hardest work I know
Whatever we are now, seem hardly aware
Of what we're used to being
Of what we planned on being
And I'd trade it all
For you to come home"

"I can tell by that look some of you don't understand
And I can't see how any of you can
When the dark walks up to you
You gotta shake his hand

You ain't ever gonna win the game
Hell kid you don't even know the coach's name
And everything you ever looked up to
Now it's all looking down on you

Trying to see if you can get back up
Out of that hole you climbed into
But they're not expecting much
'Cause you got so far down"

Quinine *is* bitter, sugar *is* sweet. It's true.

"You said you were in love with me
Both of us know that that's impossible
And I could make you rue the day
But I could never make you stay

Not for all the tea in China
Not if I could sing like a bird
Not for all North Carolina
Not for all my little words
Not if I could write for you
The sweetest song you ever heard
It doesn't matter what I do
Not for all my little words"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Thinking about little nakkadiles running around yelling nak nak buy and nak sell nak

There's a great section in The Scholar's Tale from Hyperion about the meaning of innocence (covers p similar ground to Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling) that I ought to reread some time

no FUCKING way
