I like things. I do not consider myself a particularly materialistic person. I am probably as attached to my material possessions as anybody in this day and age. The reasons for my materialism are myriad, and decidedly unenlightened. However, my reasons for placing importance on in-animate objects extends beyond the simple concept of possession.

This post will most heavily focus on Tarot, but I would like to say that these arguments can… Continue reading The Merits of Tarot
I have always been drawn to stories about small very close knit groups of characters. Stories about crews. People who depend on each other for their lives and livelihoods. I am so drawn to these stories because they represent the best aspects of people. Crews are thrown together, often by chance. They can consist of… Continue reading The Crew Mentality
