So it's February now. This is suckish for two reasons.
First, January was totally WASTED for me. I accomplished nothing productive the whole month...unless you consider cementing friendships productive, I guess, but even so I feel like I let January slip through my fingers far too quickly. The year is 1/12th over and I haven't made any progress toward my goals. :\
Second, January on my calendar was a picture of Twilight Sparkle, and now I have to turn away from it. BUT WE LOVE TWI
Seated tickets are now SOLD OUT. A limited number of Standing Room tickets will be available for purchase at the door the day of the concert. Doors open at 7pm.
i am going to get there at 5 and stand for two hours if i have to

I'm thinking about doing a post-apoc piece about some North of Englander being trapped on the West Coast of America and the entire story is about travelling across the States trying to get home. So I was asking when I should show the audience the state of the guy's hometown.
"When" in regards to what point of the story, or "when" as in a specific year or something?

When as in regards to what point of the story.
Well, that depends. Is him getting home going to be the point, or is he going to give up at some point and attempt to make it in the states or elsewhere?
You could save it to the end if he's going to stay regardless of the state of his town, or if you want to go for a downer ending (assuming it's totaled or something). If you want him to give up on the goal you could have find find out that it's completely destroyed mid-way or towards the end, or some such.

The story I had in mind was him going home with him reaching it at the end of the entire story.

I guess I'd just leave it to the end unless you want him to find out it's in pretty bad shape mid-way through and have him struggle with the idea of still returning.

i would also leave it until the end. to show the audience.
i mean you can heavily imply that it is destroyed, make it an absolute certainty, but i wouldnt show it, actually show it, until the character reaches there.
this just sounds like the kind of 'one man personal quest' type thing enough that to float away from his point of view and let the reader DIRECTLY in on the fact that his quest is futile (or not?) would seem very weird to me. youre gonna want to put yourself in this characters head and confine yourself to it for this whole story, i reckon. at least if it is like it sounds it is.
i mean by all means litter a bunch of clues, hell, have the character pretty much told the fate of his town during the course of his journey if you want... (when to do stuff like this is a harder thing to judge on without directly seeing the story i think) ... but i think this sounds like a personal enough thing to the character that we need to see it when he sees it. we need to get the 'well shit everythings fucked' when he does, i think
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
Hey, everyone. How's it going?
On the one hand, I didn't spend January productively either. On the other hand, there are now only 3 days left until Fire Emblem Awakening comes out.

HI Anonus, Professor Gator.
I vote we walk into Time headquarters and demand a do-over of January

January is kind of a downer, yeah. It doesn't help that it follows on the heels of the most over-hyped celebration of the year, only to plunge straight back into everyday monotony.

I've just been informed that being a pegasus princess means being an alicorn.
I'm not sure what to make of this development...clearly unicorn magic is redundant with my witchcraft, which was already redundant with my Princess Magic™.
It's like some kind of gathering of magic...ridiculous

You've created a false dichotomy where fundamentally/really/deeply there is only one self-evident option. Because we are each a part of the universe - tied up in the threads of the cosmic fabric, if you will - we each have a part of and are a part of every other person, living or dead, actual or possible, left-handed or allergic-to-peanuts.
This means that to hate another person you must also hate yourself. As the allegory of the cave teaches us, there is no Self/Other, no Master/slave, no Yes/No. There is only a pale imitation of these categories. It's obviously irrational to hate yourself. Stupid people should hate themselves, so irrationality implies self-hatred and therefore the converse holds. This eliminates one of the disjuncts from your either-or query and leaves us with the factual declaration of a Fundamental Unity (or as Brouwer would put it more clearly, the profound One-Twoness is undermined by our experience and we see that the Twoness is indeed a Oneness)
We see then, that by supposition of our interconnected nature/Being we can eliminate the false possibility created by (y)our mind/brain and that we all are one. The Fundamental Unity is a self-supporting proposition and it's essential self-evident essence is unveiled.
I know this might be a little over your head but I took intro-epistemology and this position is basically consensus so just trust me.

Do you ever have one of those moments where you become aware of one of your own little linguistic quirks?
One of mine is the word "person".
"I'm an awakeperson again."
"I wish Anonus was a here-person instead of a far-away-person."
"I can't find what we're looking for, let's ask the store-person."
Ok so here it is an extremely tight nutshell. Again, the proper ideas take a good 6 hours to hash out. But here's hoping this comes out coherently.
I think the best way to go about understanding it is treating it like an assumption at first.
Let's pretend this is the real way things are, and then let's try to disprove it with rational thought.
So when you look at everything, at all sciences, and at all things for what they really are you get to these conclusions:
We're all the same thing, going towards one goal. What is in you now, what is driving you every day, what is dictating the fact that you are alive, is the drive of life.
All things that are alive want to do the same things. Stay alive, procreate, metabolize energy (eat), grow, adapt, and evolve.
It's very odd that we say that we don't know why we're here, yet none of us want to die. We inherently, have a deep fundamental drive to stay alive, so there is clearly a part of us that knows it's very important to be here. Our subconscious knows. So in fact, we all do understand exactly what we're doing here, but our rational and conscious brains cannot express or comprehend it.
Our irrational drive to stay alive no matter what, can be enough to prove purpose, but of course, there is much, much more.
K i'll speed this all up and just go point form, and excuse me if it comes out incoherently.
We're all moving towards something. Things that are alive do that.
What you are is the energy inside your body right now.
It was here before you were born, and it will be here after you die.
You were born into a relay race.
It isn't human nature. It's nature nature.
Everything always gets better in the long run. And everything will get better and more efficient including communication.
Our biggest problems as humans is the great divide between what we can properly conceptualize and understand in our own minds, and what we relay and effectively communicate out of our mouths.
Miscommunication and misunderstanding is the main reason for all differences between us.
But this will one day not be the case.
All communication is thought relay.
Thoughts are not physical. They are not "real" but we know they exist, and have real consequences here, in this shared reality.
Right now we speak and use gestures and all sorts of forms of communication to relay our thoughts, but we will continue to advance until we are purely thoughts communicating.
Purely thoughts in the sense that what I'm thinking, will be exactly what you are thinking. The electric impulses in my brain will become the electric impulses in your brain, with no loss of meaning due to miscommunications.
When we are purely just thoughts communication and expressing ourselves, we will learn and understand more than we have in the history of the world before that point in an instant.
Imagine all our brains hooked up to each other in real time (it's sorta what the internet is now, but this is just what is at this point in time. It'll keep getting more and more efficient and effective until we are lightning expression of thought as a whole. And we'll be one again.)
We will then become masters of the physical universe, understanding all matter and physical laws perfectly, so as to be able to create by simply thinking.
Age is just a physical process, and can be stopped or slowed down to last for what we view today as an eternity.
Some caveats: When you really try to understand everything, you have to understand that you are not capable of understanding one iota of anything, as we are at but a point in our evolutionary line, and to assume that that line is anywhere near the end of anything is absolute insanity.
Your entire reality is generated by how your senses perceive the energy around you. When you understand that we learnt how to interpret the energy relative to how we needed to interpret it to make survival and procreation on earth possible, you'll understand that our reality is flawed or at the very least incomplete.
This leads to why we perceive time as being absolute even though we know it to be relative. Our GPS satellites take time dilation into consideration every day, yet we still interpret time as if it was absolute. Because our evolution never needed to think of time as being relative.
