Exploring, failing, backtracking, just to identify the only viable path forward. And then scarred, stumbling forward into the future. Learning.
Boring and steady. Knowing little and questioning a lot. Mostly harmless.

This is an experimental scrapbook space. A collection of stuff I want to keep in a form somewhere on the spectrum between a blog and a shoe-box full of scraps, cut-outs, quotes, links and reading notes and sometimes my own silly thoughts about them.
Perhaps it might be of marginal interest to others too, but I don't care that much.

Many people believe that much of U.S. debt is owed to foreign countries like China and Japan. The truth is, most of it is owed to Social Security and pension funds.

All Time Low: Monsters

Why do all the monsters come out at night?
why do we sleep where we want to hide?
why do I run back to you like I don’t mind if you fuck up my life?– All Time Low: Monsters
An interesting note on depicting dinosaurs based on their skeletal remains. The main point is that real life animals have all sorts of skin flas, fat deposits, etc. Dinosaurs probably looked much different than we depict them. To illustrate the point, the piece contains several pictures of contemporary animals drawn in the same style as we draw prehistoric animals: take the bones, put some muscles on the skeleton, shrink-wrap in skin and we are done.
The animals like baboon, hippo or zebra look really hillarious this way.
