The Swamp of Sadness – from The Never Ending Story

There is a place where light forgets its name, where breath grows heavy in the ribs, and even the sky seems to grieve a slow, suffocating hush that seeps into bone. I found it once as a child, through tear-blurred eyes and trembling hands watched as the swamp opened its mouth and swallowed something pure. Artax.

What a day to decide to do my long run, totally drenched β˜”οΈπŸŒ§οΈ but well happy. Today’s plan was a progression run, 5 min warm up, 5k hr zone 2 and 8k zone 3. Was unable to pick the pace up so kept it steady throughout the run due to the wind, rain and route chosen. #running #sundaylongrun #corosrunning #halfmarathontraining #runnersofmastodon #neverendingstory #falkor

When people mention that 2026 is the Year of the Horse...

Look; Prometheus stole the Sun and the Norse Goddess Sol became a Demon... Prometheus is Epstein. Do the math. The Clash of the Titans was 28.000.000.000 years ago. That's what the fuss is about. #neverendingstory #christmasland #prometheus

Top 10 movie jump scares from when I was young:

  • The scene in the Neverending Story where Atreyu sees the murals depicting the story so far, and then he sees a full-frame mural of the Wolf, and the audience is like, "Wait, that hasn't happened ye--"

  • There is no 2. I'm still not over it.

    Wifey is setting up a Twitch stream and was asking me for emote ideas. (Emotes are little custom emojis that can be used in Twitch chat).
