The Lunchbox 2014-12-02

Posted on 2014-12-02 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

Hold on to your hats — the weather is about to get significantly more wacky!

To celebrate, I really want to make fritters..

On a more serious note: today is the day to remember that not all people are yet free, that slavery — in various forms, from the literal and brutal to the subtle and economic — still exists in the world. Think about how you can inform yourself and help the world. Give a bit more this Christmas — perhaps outside of your country, let alone your family.

Music today:

Keegan Dobbelstein, with the song Deck of Cards from the Come Spring EP,
and Ten Years Ago, from the self-titled album of Shawn William Clarke.

CAFFEEN! Playlist for 2014-11-22: “Broken Thought Mirror”

Posted on 2014-12-02 by the Encaffeinated ONE Posted in CAFFEEN!

They say that if you stare into the Abyss, you risk the Abyss staring back at you..

But you stare into mirrors all the time.

And your thoughts are the darkest Mirror..

And distorted.

But sometimes the funhouse reflection is exactly what you need to see.

I rather wish we were all connected telepathically, in our dreams…

That would mean that nightmares were probably someone else’s fault, and did not originate within my own mind.

It means my mind is a very frightening place. You should visit sometime.

Come alone.
