Sometimes I forget that Nebraska is different from New York. They have lots of coffee shops, cool streetwear clothing stores, art galleries and medical research centers.

There's an opposite side to that coin. People who question themselves too often are usually left in the same state of psychological paralysis as those who question others and never their own core tenets.

Hadeon and his ilk do not deserve the tomb of inconsequentiality like so many real people embrace as their life calling in this day and age

I am incapable of coming back. I hope you'll forgive me this. You'll have to, sooner or later.
