after days of nothing but hills of sand, the black trees appear on the horizon. 
they will always be the horizon. they are the highway of Tapo Meru.

the Arboretum Infelix.

ON: Watching Wrestling

If you didn't love wrestling when you were nine years old, you probably won't get it after. When I was nine years old Vince McMahon's WWF ruled the wrestling business, and had done so by selling saturday morning wrestling, with Hulksters, and Ultimate Warriors, and crazy barbers, and dudes with pet snakes, and all the other cartoons, to nine year olds like I was in 1987.  By the time I was twelve I was over it. Other interests, other delivery systems for stories came along -- wrestling just didn't seem cool anymore.
