My damn life is so scattered all around and I can’t seem to get them all together. And I don’t think I will ever be able to. When I say life is scattered I … Continue reading The Scattered life of a Floating Generation

Today I watched the TED video by Christopher “moot” Poole the founder of 4chan, a controversial, uncensored online imageboard. The comments were also very interesting and I like to share some of the ‘for anonymity’ threads. It gives us (the reader) a peek into the darkest corners of human mind.
