“The Logic”

57 Damon Weathers.jpg

A clown with a sense of structure, Mr. 1970 helps to keep his family in line

Jazz and rap flow through his brain to make sense of the human mind

Being raised in a secret culture of bodyguards allows him a chance to observe

Nobody watches this watcher who masks structure behind playful nerves

A gift for making sense of contradictions makes him an easy person to date

Because he understands that people never know what they really want to face

They hide behind layers of logic that flip willfully to situations at hand

But to let them make mistakes and advise them afterwards is always his plan

There’s so much variation and changes of chord within the human pop structure

Rationalizing those chaotic structures, for Damon, is always an adventure

The Write Stuff

I know that this isn’t the most original thought in the world: the digital age is a gift and a curse. I could go through the same old things everyone says about the “information superhighway.”*

That it can cause detachment.

That people are losing social skills.

That people are devouring useless information.

I’m not really interested in talking about those…I’m more concerned about how it gets in the way of creativity. I get nervous that the internet can get in the way of my critical thinking. That it can take ideas that I could reach on my own and make it seem like I came to those conclusions myself.

I get scared that I can lose who I am to the internet.

But the answer that I came to was that I HAVE TO spend more time being creative than giving my precious time to the internet.

It’s a powerful tool…but my creativity should be more powerful.

Casualties of Causality?

78 The Baron Four

Fegra, the Realm of Order, was a land of perfect infrastructure.

From the commoners to the high society, the people understood how valuable law was.

It gave them a sense of pride. A feeling of love. A stance of charity.

To fall out of line would be sacrilege to the people of Fegra.

The Fegarian Army is the ultimate symbol of Fegra’s True God.

A body of soldiers that imbibe duty more than alcohol.

A dizzying splendor of coordinating symbiosis.

But like any drug, too much of it can lead a nation to ruin…

Splitting Grey Heirs

71 The Terra Warriors

Two sets of angels that served two masters fell from the Land of Dreams

Crash landed on a unified Earth with plans of steering humans towards a master to serve

Originally meant to represent good & evil, the warring angels got comfortable in the human consciousness.

The angels realized that they should serve no master…they wanted to be their own rulers.

They desired nothing more than to be Grey Gods

Which put them on the same ground as the humans they thought they were above
