The brilliance, the skill, the creativity of humans will always triumph.
I don't like ranting online. Let's get that cleared up. But lately, I’ve been seeing something that really bothers me, and as someone who’s been writing fanfiction since the days of dancing to dial-up internet tones, I’ve got a few thoughts.

An abundance of Books...
Television kinda bores me.
I've actually been going back and watching Law and Order from the year 2000.
That's like a time machine.
