In the Book of Revelation, there’s a passage about the Metallica song, “The Four Horsemen.” In that passage, when discussing the fourth horseman, the angel reveals: “And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”
That’s not what happened this week. Nevertheless, with many signs and wonders and much rage, a plethora of doomsday prophets has emerged to remind us that our global quest for greatness will only be realized by finding and capturing Bigfoot and coronating him as our king. Or maybe the Heaven’s Gate people were right after all—their website is still active, if not being updated. Maybe the key is to leave the planet and hop aboard a comet, one in which gentle sasquatches guide us toward a new, and better, life.
In case I’m wrong, though, there’s always this option.
Don't just watch it burn, be the one to light it on fire.

As we depart, wide eyed and in amazement, reality begins to set in. Perhaps we’re setting sail on a grand adventure through time and space or perhaps we’re trapped on a giant rock with a loquacious wood ape armed with a shit-ton of pamphlets, a ravenous aquatic creature, and a bunch of really gullible people.
That’s when we stare into the void, which is easy because we’re rocketing across a great vast nothing, and whisper sweet nothings. Of course, the abyss stares back, smiles sweetly, and maybe asks for some flowers.
