    I think, just like all the rest, it is a GREAT theme! I can't even imagine the possibilities with a theme like that. I wonder if the street names will be something like "anxiety" "worry" and "apocolypse" hahaha

      ya, i guess the possibilities are pretty infinite, but i guess that's what i don't like about it. it's such a nebulous theme that may just leave too much of an open ended idea. i dunno. i guess a theme like this really allows us to get our "creative juices flowing" (to quote an old english teacher) and explore ALL the options we have (from an artistic/creative standpoint), but there was just something so definite about, say, "the seven ages" or "the psyche" that flet more exciting and enticing. then again, "beyond belief" left an open door to exploration and it was great. i think it might be the boring nature of the wording that's throwing me off... HOPE AND FEAR... THE FUTURE. hmm.

        I see what you mean about it seeming open-ended. But at the same time, I think it allows people the opportunity to express their hopes and fears in ways that may not be fathomable to others. People are always surprising us and I think this kind of taps into the person as an individual rather than their interpretation of something factual or "common knowledge". It might be a very frightening experience, actually.. hahaha jk ;)
