Because even rants need a home
This was a post written by me a couple of years ago, on a dark night, awaiting the start of 2015. The human mind is a onerous wonder. The sheer capacity of the thoughts it can tolerate is overwhelming. Scary as well. A lot of what I write here will not make sense to you. …
