The Looney Tunes end credits scene is from the perspective of a man looking up into the spheres of the heavens as prescribed by Dante. The empty space in the middle is the Empyrean, where God watches and presides over everything, obscured by the Primum Mobile. "That's all, folks"

My father passed away unexpectedly late Saturday night. He was a hero and taught me how to live. I never thought I would be as good as him, and now I never will be, which is its own kind of comfort. God bless him; we never know the time or hour.

remember, Zdzisław Beksiński is not a meme, he is extremely instructive in that he hated silence and would constantly play classical music while painting, he had a massive CD collection of Chopin, Liszt, Dvorak, Mahler, etc. This is what classical music actually looks like.

Exegesis of PKD is amazing because he'll talk about how the Holy Spirit resides at the end of history and moves backwards in time (true) and the next sentences are "Hospitalized again for too many water-soluble vitamins. Determined that my visions do not originate from Soviets"

Again, branding yourself as "outsider", "fringe", or my least favorite, "transgressive" - is the same kind of begging-for-failure as a self-deprecating username / handle. Those are the kinds of labels you let other people use. We used to have critics for this.
