Description "When there's nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire..."

So the song goes (kudos to those who know what song and artist I'm talking about).

It's hard to rationalize loss, harder so when you can't understand the reason behind it. Then again, it's hard to imagine anything in life has a "reason". In any case, I think the best thing anyone can do is accept where life takes you and just enjoy the ride for all it's worth. As if every day was our last, we should be able to reflect upon it knowing we said everything we wanted to say, did everything we wanted to do, and loved everyone we wanted to love.

And sometimes, you just have to have faith that the things you love will come back to you too.

Beautiful colors. You can't go wrong with a robot wearing a hat. Great work!

Thanks! Ha ha, yes, I find there is something indescribably appealing about robot cowboys.
