Extensions, images of a construction crane

I'm going to be in Las Vegas this weekend. Maybe I can engage in a little fear and loathing or something.

I've only been in there once as a child. The other times I have witnessed the architecture from afar behind a cool sheet of glass, moving. But I can't help but feel that I have been there many times before, doing many things. It has to be the imagination I suppose. That or I'm not who I say I am to myself. But that possibility is not a good one.

There are always cranes constructing in that place. Always cranes...extending and building and enhancing and whatever else they do; skeletal monsters doing just the opposite of what it is they should be doing. They look as if they should be destroying the place. On the contrary, they are building. Or is it destruction after all? Interesting.

They say the universe is expanding, which is hardly fair since we haven't really been out there yet. But maybe we have a long way to go. Maybe we will get out there and dominate...just like we have dominated this place. But will the universe expand at a greater rate than we can explore? Is that our infinity? If this universe is expanding is it finite? Where does it come from? Or could it just be that everything around us is just spreading out within the infinity? I think there was research showing the former though. Woah woah! Too many questions in too little time! But that is how it always is.

Maybe there is a little world of our own expanding in our heads. With our mythology and science fiction and tales. Maybe these people and creatures are living right now...kept alive by our collective consciousness. Maybe it's us! Shit!

Welcome to the Twilight Zone...but thanks, I'm gonna sleep on that one.
