I slowly sank into the comfort of my red

  • I slowly sank into the comfort of my red pillow sofa in an attempt to escape the insanity of my day. What I thought was going to be a quiet moment of peace suddenly changed when
  • I sank deeper between the scarlet velvet cushions. With one free hand I tried to grip the arm rest, but I slipped further into the couch. Suddenly, a vastness opened up.
  • I had been sucked into the Lintlands, scourge of the Seven Household Kingdoms. Strange, soft-bodied visages screamed wordlessly in the distance as I struggled to find my way out.
  • But, once you've started working in a law firm you can't get out. Dreams of escape and family boil down to a hard crystal residue. Surrounded by soft-bodied visages
  • representative of the American Dream, you can do nothing but scream and scream and scream. In the morning, you go back to the firm and pretend to be a good little lawyer.
  • It's what we are raised to want right? They want us all to be doctors or lawyers or accountants. But really deep down you always know you need more than just corporate America.
  • You know they've lied to you, & made promises they can't deliver on. But somehow the teachers get in your head, trick you to fight for them, even when they betray your trust. Life
  • is too short to let this go on! These teachers teach nothing but lying and cheating! Fighting for them is going to get you hurt. You've got to get out of here.
  • Pretty much any fight will get you hurt. So, you'd better fight for yourself. All you have to do is put yourself together, keep your weapon close and follow the plan. The plan
  • was the best laid plan of mice and men so far, but just as Steinbeck predicted, it went astray. They knew it as soon as the warriors began streaming from the large wooden horse.
