Jan 8

And a proponent of gazing at the stars on clear, dark nights. At this point in time, I still inhabit the body that is the result of millions of years of evolution, admittedly looking to be circa 200 +/- years old from extreme wear and tear over the decades. And my favorite television series is True Detective:Season One.

Note: on this night, I have consumed some strong hashish, in order to numb the horror of today.
