more visitors from abroad

I've received a visitor from Tazmania! I can say with certainty that I do not know anyone in Tazmania. Cool!

That nifty little map thing

It appears that yesterday I was fortunate enough to have a visit from somewhere in the vicinity Bosnia Herzegovina or Serbia and Montenegro. Due to the nature of the map it is nearly impossible to pinpoint the exact location of the visitor, but again I think I know of at least one individual who is currently traveling in both these countries so it is not as random a visit as my initial instinct would have me believe. It is nice to see some diversity popping up on my map, though. Today Europe, tomorrow the world (or maybe just Australia or Asia?).

You don't know me, but I know you. Deep inside you
there are shadowy corners where you've hidden your
shameful secrets. You know what I'm talking about.
You're shifty now. You're avoiding my gaze. What are
you hiding? We're all hiding something. My secret is
that secretly I thrive on all this pain. It reminds me
how vulnerable this plane of existence is and yet, how
enduring. It will go on without me. Without you, too,
and so will our secrets. But secrets are lies. I don't
want to die with lies in my heart, so I try never to
carry any. The sad thing is, most people don't want to
hear the truth. They loathe what the truth does to
illusions, and illusions are oh so precious nowadays.
People will give up everything to live beyond the bare
bones reality of walking everyday upon this Earth. Life
will kill you. It's as simple as that. Might as well live it
up while you can! I want to be among the awakened
when this dream ends. My dreams are the reality I care
most about. They are my true brainstorms, and there is
only calm after. Beauty and terror. Sorrow and joy.
