the human continuum

The rules are about to change. Again. Always.

[cooldork7]

the human continuum turned 2 today! It's the best occasion I can think of to announce that this will be the final post to this tumblr. As a result of several recent changes in my life, I find I don't have time to keep this tumblr up. So I am going to retire from tumblr and concentrate my social media exploits to one or two other venues.

the human continuum will continue in some other venue with a completely different focus...just quite not right now. If you're *really* interested in following along, check me out on Twitter (@cooldork7).

In the meantime, happy tumblring.

I wanted to be the rain to die and be reborn as a wildflower, a wildfire

as the breath of the cosmos with the light of the universe illuminating the motes of dust

suspended in time and space by your window after you draw your curtains to let the sun in—

I wanted to smell like petrichor, like damp moss on pine trees and reach towards the sky

I saw the redwoods when I was younger and envied their wisdom that comes with age

I wanted to be everything I couldn’t be

This is the most interesting and comprehensive representation of a neighborhood that we’ve ever seen! It has useful information like car space and fitness routes, and more entertaining information like historic creek beds and a comparison of gangs vs. cupcakes (true story).

This “Mission Atlas” would be incredibly useful if you were new to the area, or even if you were just visiting for a short time. We’d love to see more “Neighborhood Atlases” like this! Explore the full atlas (and purchase a copy!) here.

Remember, everyone:

Barack Obama is a weakling, mom jeans wearing apologist for American exceptionalism whose multiple failings and incompetencies caused Americans to needlessly die in Benghazi, continues to cause tens of thousands of deaths in Syria, and so abetted the Russian (Soviet???)...

In the late winter of that year, someone found Ernest Hemingway’s burger recipe and posted it online. The air was cool. The burger seemed tasty.

We are torn between nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange. As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known.
