Greetings and salutations!

Quick points:
1. Though I rarely find my opinions swayed by the politically charged work of persons like Michael Moore, Alex Jones, or simply the conspiracy theory crowd in general, I have to admit that a overwhelming amount of evidence (or lack thereof) points to the idea that the Pentagon was not struck by a Boeing 747.

2. Funny quote of the week: "I can't carry a pen. I'm afraid I'll puncture my scrotum." Jason Alexander as Seinfeld's George Castanza.

Finally, after much delay, enough votes have been tabulated to warrant a continuation of the story that was the original creative drive of Patmos. The update to the story, along with a new poll, will be posted soon. The story now has a working title as well, which is The Kalumra Stone. Check out the current portions of the story by clicking the link on the left or here.

Where does the writer end and the real begin? Where does the dream become part of the fantasy? We can be ensnared so quickly by dreams, caught up in a beautiful madness. We search desperately for joy yet cling so ferociously to our sorrows.

We pass over bridges of pathos that we cling to in our dreams, into the gritty canvas of the real, and though our hearts remain the same from one to the next, our voices are enevitably changed.

With Hope,
Joseph
