*Thousands of years from now*
Two archeologists dig through the abandoned ruins of what was once called “New York City”. Deep within the rubble of an old building, something small and rectangular lays in the dirt.
Upon further inspection is seems to be a book of some sort. The pages are yellowed with time and the spine is hanging by a thread of synthetic fiber.
“The Book seems to be written in a strange dialect” says Man #1.
The archaeologists take the book back to the lab for testing. Calling upon linguists from around the world, the first chapter is deciphered.
“When Mr. Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would shortly be celebrating his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence, there was much talk and excitement in Hobbiton.”
They were amazed at what they found. A tale of magic, bravery and great battles. Although the stories we’re far-fetched and fantastical, the paper on which was printed was thick and well cared for. Someone had gone through great trouble to produce it and therefore it must be based in truth.
And thus a new Religion was born. Faction after faction of humans flock to the site of the holy text. Finally, after thousands of years of secrecy, humanities history is finally revealed. Though there are no longer elves, hobbits or wizards, Humans have obviously prevailed and are meant to rule the Earth until the day Gandalf the White will return and lead them to Paradise.
Millions of people wear golden rings around their fingers to symbolize their devotion to their faith. Drawings and likenesses of the Prophet Frodo and Protector Bilbo hang in the home of every devout believer.
This is the one true religion. And any who reject it will be thrown deep into the flames of Mordor where Smaug will torment their souls for all eternity.
The moon had risen behind him, the color of a shark's underbelly. It lit the ruined walls, and the skin of his arms and hands, with its sickly light, making him long for a mirror in which to study his face. Surely he'd be able to see the bones beneath the meat; the skull gleaming the way his teeth gleamed when he smiled. After all, wasn't that what a smile said? Hello, world, this is the way I'll look when the wet parts are rotted.

I think I ACTUALLY drink more rum than a pirate. I don’t think pirates had a 5th+ rationed to them a day, every day. Thats how you know you’re a drinker, not when you lose your job, when your wife leaves and the kids call mommys new boyfriend gary dad. You know you’re a drinker when you put down a 5th and say ok, now whens the real buzz start?
My best friend just got married, wasnt even invited. Oh yeah, 30 years well spent people, ive made so many connections

Are you, are you fuckin kidding me? Hubbard lived on a boat with a bunch of little boys, wrote really terrible scifi novels, and got laughed right the fuck out of the scientific and medical community for a reason.
- pay money to learn the secrets ( we all now know )

No one can speak out now that you know, its 75% lawyers coincidentally.

“ The Wall “ is my favorite floyd album, even though darkside is probably better it speaks to me personally. that being said, once floyd lost barret it was no longer floyd, here’s scarecrow, a song ya should know but maybe dont.
( Fun fact the name pink floyd comes from syd barrett, he used to wear an all blue leisure suit, and one day they were tripping and it looked pink, a floyd was a brittish slang for a fancy gentleman, hence he was the pink floyd. )

Aldous Huxley’s death note.
Musings and more of a despondant 30 year old man, former drug addict, current writer/alcoholic. I'm unmarried, I have no children, and all my dreams are dead, I've wasted my life, and you can too! Never say never. Sometimes prolific, mostly offensive observations about people, life, and the nature of the universe. I'm a communist, your god's a lie, hate mail welcome.
