Go Go Godzilla Went Went Away
(Author’s note: This was originally written back hundreds of years ago in the lovely days of November 2014. Since Hollywood believes in bringing forth nothing new, I thought I wouldn’t either!

Is There A Future To Get Back To?
Since we’re now into this new year of 2021, I have decided to address an issue that certainly has troubled me as I’m sure it has bothered countless thousands of millions over the past decades.
