Zoren Manray

The world is a remix of the past,
made in the present,
to propel our imagination into the future.

We have to first begin with ourselves though which is a large hurdle.. it requires us to not entirely be the main character in the story. as to truly create joy requires a community. As unless reflected in community Joy is just a fleeting spark.

The Truth is:
the only way to change the story of the world is to make one that many others can get behind.

A story of fear and hate of the other is an easy one to make as it calls to base needs survival.

A story of joy and hope though that includes all is much harder.. but still possible.

Really one of the best things we can do in life is endeavor to build a slightly better and happier world for everyone.

Joy after all is a powerful force.

It's quite sad then that so many with power just want to spread hate and fear for their control to make the experience shit for everyone else.

First (maybe) to idea for bragging rights:

Le Boopagen

Aka protogen labubu

Being a Dragon IRL for a bit...

It's been 21 years since Zoren First rezzed in Second Life.

... Cheese is usually measured by weight or volume.. not length..

WTF does that mean nestle marketing department?!

okay apparently I was not in "layout view"

Looks up a blender tutorial video. again notices that again my interface is slightly but not entirely completely different. *screams* BLAEENDARRRR!!!!

And yet.. the world is so F* ing toxic right now I really shouldn't say it here at the moment.. I'll hint it's about Self-actualization and even then might be saying too much.

Nah.. I'm just "one of those deaf-mutes" no threat to anyone.

And yeah just making references to random sci-fi now..

Really in looking over the day and the multiple realities folding into each-other one thing becomes clear..

I need to get some sleep but been trying to do that for over an hour and just end up looking again at the "Time knife"

Fugggg

Bay of tranquility

Sometimes...

If we can just take a moment to enjoy a quiet spot along the journey.

It can all be ok.

A friend commented earlier today that I resembled some sort of 90's superhero..

IDK maybe?

Ugg too many west cost furry cons happening all so close together.. wish i could afford to go to more than one of them..

Days go by
Feeling broke and tired.

Remember...
Always remember...

When we come running.

Had a disappointing bottled coffee so had to get one more.. appointing?

One of the saddest things not said about many current events is the deeper story not said and likely will never be fully reported.

Stories of trauma, hate, fear and failure to fight against it. succumbing to our own demons.

But also stories of love, redemption, hope, perseverance and moving on.

Gee to bad there weren't any burners involved because:

That's now how you shade tents, you need shade structures.

That generator would have been back up and running within a few hours at most.

Maybe something for burners without borders to get involved with to inform them how to do better?

Seems San Jose utterly failed at attempting a temporary housing tent site..

They had to close it in less than a week due to RV that serves as an office space having a generator issue.

The overflowing anger is that the more liberal tend to use "big words and complex ideas" to fight against the problems an injustice they see. Clearly to complex when you can just start throwing punches or worse to make your opponents shut up.

But is that civil society anymore?
