What a weekend.

A dog’s gaze will always follow the object: the stick. The lion gazes steadily at the source: the thrower.
Yep, that’s right. After a brief absence from this site I’ve returned to drop some obscure philosophy served with a side of self-indulgence on you that’s sure to leave you scratching your head wondering why the hell you’re even reading it.
