"Time" has accelerated mightily here in the last few days, has it not, my friends? [View all]

We've been scrambling and losing sleep and feeling whacked out for ages and ages now, but the worm appears to have turned, and holy shit. Yesterday was the BEST and WORST day of my life, in less than 24 hours. I woke up this morning just fried, desolate, inconsolable -

Cray as fuck, man. BUT, this is somewhat (or, extremely?) planned out, this rampant chaos and SHOCK, and I am just here to say, goddamit, hang tough/rock steady/keep the faith, my friends. I love you all, and I need you to ride this out with me - !!!

Your fellow American,
Sandy
