This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This is what the "overdrive" button on the shifter column is for.

I thought there was a giant log rolling toward the lorry.

Simple. Seen this a thousand times.

Freeze frame - cue narrator

"I bet you're wondering how I ended up here..."

Then I fuckin bail before the freeze frame is over.

Roll credits.

It's obvious you all haven't taken American media seriously, and it's sad. The great story tellers of our time have spent countless hours and mountains of money to teach you lessons from the annals of history and it consistently falls on deaf ears to the inevitable demise of civilization.

One day people will tell tales of the great visionaries such as James Wong, true prophets of times long past who spent their lives and vast borrowed fortunes attempting to warn the masses of future catastrophes as foretold by the wise and all knowing producers, the forgotten gods of our times, who sacrificed their own lives and hard earned connections, in a fruitless attempt to spare future generations from the predicted inevitable rise of death itself, using math to systematically destroy us one by one.

If only we had paid attention and not been distracted by the irresistible whores of Hollywood who tempted us with dreams of superheroes and anthropomorphic stones assuming the the roles of so called "actors", posing as "action heroes" we might leave a better legacy for the future generations of content consumers who will surely mock us for our ignorance as they smash that like button.

I actually had this thought once. Long time ago I was in this industrial workplace accident (don't wear loose fitting clothes near huge spinning things) and to cut to the chase I ended up on the floor bleeding and I'm guessing the shock made it so that I couldn't breathe for around a minute. I can hold my breath for a minute, no problem, but in the moment when you don't know what is happening and you can't breathe and there's no way to just start breathing, that minute felt very very long. I remember thinking "well, this is it, I will die now, but.. I guess it's for the best."
Turns out I had been depressed for a while, and needed some change in my life.
