Far beyond spooky

"There are in nature neither rewards nor punishments - there are only consequences." --Robert G. Ingersoll


4 years, 2 months, 13 days, 8 hours, 4 minutes, 45 seconds until the Mayan end of Age.

"When you get old, the only things you remember are the things you dared to do and the things you didn't dare to do. All the daily stuff, the things you had to do, the things someone paid you to do, blur into the nothingness of 'unimportant to your soul', and when you look back on your life you only see the dreams you made happen and the dreams you were afraid to pursue." --P.J. Gaenir's grandfather
