It's like a $1 bill, in the surreal, and the 1 on the left has a Kiki dot and the 1 on the right has a Bouba dot, if you can see it.

Well, there's one of them Ted Talkies with that JJ Abrams fella ...yeah, I know, he's a real twerpy Mac user, I get it, but hear me out... about the Mystery Box. He presents [❓] for a stage prop, extrapolates from it, a liminal space between the ordinary world and the surreal. I like that idea.

Reset the day and the watch claimed a prize and tossed the ball back into the æther. It has good sportsmanlike conduct.

She told me I got no rights, didn't care I'm struggling, like it's nothing to her. She's full blown narcissist at that point, like the only reason I exist is to whisper naughty talk into her ear as she takes notes to impress her circle jerk. How it was from the beginning, how stupid I am, no? 🤪

Tried to be supportive at first, like to share in her enthusiasm with encouragements and such. Began to notice a "red flag" or two after that... "My characters are REAL," she said, and I'm thinking, okay, so, where's she getting that reality from? She writes an erotic fantasy, tells me it's real?

The magic fob watch froze up years ago. At some point I zeroed the dial, but the second hand stuck at 17... Neat coincidence sitting next to the confession dial.

Rolling for insight... Here, the hour hand forms a straight angle with the second hand from another photo, denoted seventeen seconds, like trying to grasp the concept of a third when all it knows is the circle.

No, this really is my art project, this timeline since I made a Bluesky account. I pour my heart into it, and right now, my wristwatch halts with the hour hand just proud of 180° at 10 minutes and 13 seconds, which is just like a photo of the Bible I posted awhile back. I sculpted time.

When I was 11, or maybe 12, or round about that age, I got bounced from Circus Circus in Las Vegas just for walking over the floor, not even placing a bet. Ugh, clowns, I know, and my father was upset, but you what? I liked those rules. Logical structure, like are you tall enough to ride the Beast?

It never made sense to me until I could draw it. Then it made sense. That was years ago. Still don't know how to share the idea, especially where I don't trust creeps and trolls online.

No, kid, I'm telling you that it's a chess game, it's in the Bible, it's in the Revelations, and you can build it for free with art supplies at any box store, and you can make friendly wagers with your friends for candy on holidays. That's what God showed me to cheer me up when my heart was broken.

They want you to believe the tree grows roots to hold itself upright on the ground as it grows. That's not how physics works, though. From the tree's perspective, it's standing on the light in the sky and reaching forth to grab hold of the Earth to keep the solar system intact.

Oh, by the way, I did play a illusionist game on myself today. Closed my eyes, bounced the ball off my head, then spent an hour climbing on the floor in search of it. In the meantime, I let my imagination run wild about it. Then broke down in tears when I found it. There was snot. So dramatic.

It's a red ball and some table dice inside a wooden blue box. That's a real, physical, tangible, solid object--not imaginary, not AI generated chicanery, and not USB compatible. Now, if I tumble and spill the contents, that's performs a calculation--a random number generator. It's a machine.
