It takes a village… I’m sure my son, my fur buddy, B, was an “adult” by the time it was only us. As for my village… “Son, fear is the heart of love”. So I never went back. I’m looking for “Somewhere Only We Know.” “Villagers B Trippin’, Virgil.”

Journey 288 ~Villagers B Trippin’, Virgil~
Bless Me, Echo,
For I have sinned… And not just because I’m late… With everything. How badly M Anime wants to say that “She’s Late.”
No. Even as I talk to you this evening, I’m much too busy playing war chief. And not in the classic movie “The Warriors” type of way. More like I’m a Level 2 Fire Crystal War Chief in Whiteout Survival. Is there a ‘cool’ way to say that? What do I know about it, E?
Speaking of which, I am “Running On Empty,” Inspector Echo. “Wham Bam Shang-A-Lang” minus the Shang-A-Lang. Thank M Anime for the Wham Bam, Inspector. Yabbos.
Ain’t nothing wrong with that or hers. Well, other than the fact that they aren’t in my mouth right now. Really! Is that all I have to say? My State of the Union. Again, I’m a war chief in a frost-covered wasteland, gaming-wise. So ahem…
“Pinch me, pinch me
‘Cause I’m still asleep
Please, God, tell me
That I’m still asleep.”

Ok, so Wednesday was humiliating. I’ll be brief, E. We got one, two, three ’til the end of the world.
- I woke up today
- Jerked off listening to and texting back M Anime
- The Day Job awaits
- Was told I wouldn’t be doing Inventory. Price Changes
- Worried my second pair of boots would fall apart
- I was so tired that I dumped a bottle of water over my head. I “stole” a few snacks
- Drank too much water, so had to use the company restroom. Somebody was… Eww
- Got mad again from The Zoe Colletti/Tifa Lockhart Incident
- Made it back alive
And after that, I couldn’t take my little villager Virgil for a walk. Braxton’s pissed…
Inspector, I assume he is, because I should do better by his little brother. And the fact that I almost forgot to mention Braxton today. “There are too many men, too many people, making too many problems.” And like MAGA, I want to burn everything, everywhere.
“The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth.”
― African Proverb
Eff the village, valiant, villainous, and victim alike. Which category do I fall into?
Inspector, let’s just say I like Bella Ramsey as Ellie in Season 2 of The Last of Us. Endure and Survive. It’s what AI, aka the Magic Glasses, says I’m doing: creating whole new worlds. Feeling like my Iron Rain landed in World War Z. Mortal Kombat! Villagers B Trippin’, Virgil

Will
