If you don't mind my asking... why a box?<br /> Arlington Steward: Your home is a box. Your car is a box on wheels. You drive to work in it. You drive home in it. You sit in your home, staring into a box. It erodes your soul, while the box that is your body inevitably withers... then dies. Where upon it is placed in the ultimate box, to slowly decompose.<br /> Martin Teague: It's quite depressing, if you think of it that way.<br /> Arlington Steward: Don't think of it that way... think of it as a temporary state of being. http://contours.futurekarma.org/post/9089488050http://contours.futurekarma.org/post/9089488050Thu, 18 Aug 2011 15:35:30 -0400offlinelifefilm<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lq50stEegd1qz4gbzo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>P.I.C.</p>http://contours.futurekarma.org/post/9088414572http://contours.futurekarma.org/post/9088414572Thu, 18 Aug 2011 15:05:11 -0400offlinelife<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpfif8v4rG1qz4gbzo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><em>omega to om</em></p> <p>i had been running<br/>unaware <br/>what for,<br/>how long<br/>ahead: obstacles<br/>behind me: only excuses</p>http://contours.futurekarma.org/post/8513752776http://contours.futurekarma.org/post/8513752776Fri, 05 Aug 2011 10:00:06 -0400lifeofflinewriting<p>between 27 and 33 and infinity</p>http://contours.futurekarma.org/post/8506976064http://contours.futurekarma.org/post/8506976064Fri, 05 Aug 2011 03:24:06 -0400lifeofflinebirthdays“Shut up, he explained.”<br/><br/> - <em>Ring Lardner</em>http://contours.futurekarma.org/post/8199334713http://contours.futurekarma.org/post/8199334713Thu, 28 Jul 2011 23:04:00 -0400quotes
