Life is too **** short and sad to chose to be a boring person.

Creating art is feeling it out.

"For One who is religious,
you've got quite the open mind!"

"For One who is an atheist,
you've got quite the open mind!

Come,
let us philosophize
o'er my finest wine!
'Twixt our worldviews, I feel
we've each so much to teach
and each even more to learn!"

"Should we allow ourselves. Après vous!"

Seek not to criticize and refute, but to learn and understand.

O what great and terrible things the curious shall discover!

"*******, dude,
I've got nearly 200 gigabytes of recorded band practices.
Good thing I just got a 1.5 terabyte hard drive to archive all that gold!"

People and actions are philosophies personified.

"I feel bad. I think she's afraid of me! Does she fear you, too?"

"Well, take it as a compliment. I mean, fear is a form of respect, right? Oh, man, that sounds like a horrible propaganda poster! I've gotta write that down!"

"You and your writing things down!"

"Hah, just you wait! One day, the world will thank me!"

"Oh, jeez."

A quite brief and improvised guitar concerto, if you will, in the key of Cm:

3 acoustic guitars
2 electric guitars
and a piano

This Mortal realm
we so take for grated
is but the crest of a wave
in the endless ocean
of Consciousness.

It seems your PenOS is out of date.
To use your PenOS with Paper, you must have version ∞.π.01.1500009000, you currently have version ∞.π.01.1500008999 and therefore may experience unending frustration every time you try to use this hyperglorified tool because a superfluous version is released every 30 hours, thus rendering all of our past development obsolete and therefore making these new patches so necessary that we can't be ****** to incorporate any sort of version compatibility or opt-out system, otherwise our website would never get hits again if we didn't needlessly obstruct you checking what the ******* sky might do tomorrow.

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

There's always more to talk about,
but not always more to say.

Altered states of Consciousness can be very auspicious,
and such a practice may well have ensured survival, so,
perhaps genetic predisposition towards entheogenic study,
or, otherwise, the psychological drive to try such substances,
is a manifestation of worthwhile ancestral exploration of Consciousness
via intervallic use of natural psychoactive substances in groups
in our not-so-distant genetic past.

Graham Hancock - The War on Consciousness:

".. and I stand here invoking the hard-won right of freedom of speech to call for and demand another right to be recognized, and that is the right of Adult Sovereignty over Consciousness.

There is a war on Consciousness in our society, and if we, as Adults, are not allowed to make sovereign decisions about what to experience  with our own Consciousness while doing no harm to others- including the decision to use, responsibly, ancient and sacred visionary plants, then we cannot claim to be free in any way, and it is useless for our society to go around the world imposing our form of democracy on others while we nourish this rot at the heart of society and we do not allow individual freedom over Consciousness.

It may even be that we are denying ourselves the next vital step in our own evolution by allowing this state of affairs to continue, and, who knows, perhaps our immortal destiny, as well."*



Please watch or at least listen to the whole speech. It's only 19 minutes.

"I'm half-assing this,
which, to me, is a sign
that I don't care enough.
So now, if you'll excuse me."

With that, she walked out of the room and turned the corner.
The five of us sat around the table in sheer disbelief, laughing.

"Miss! Wait.
Your level of honesty is quite commendable,"
said his Honor between breaths.
"You're more honest with us than I am with myself.
You're hired."

I wasn't sure how serious he was.
I don't think any of us were, even him.
A moment later, she came back around the archway and stood under the keystone with her arms crossed. A nice effect, one might comment.

"Nice effect,"* said I.

There was a glare. I know that glare..

"When do I start?"

"When will you care to?"

There were several seconds of silence.

"I think this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship, your Honor."

"I hope you're right. For both our sakes."

Without skipping a beat, she retorted that
"hope is a sign of vulnerability, your Honor."

"Vulnerability can be a sign of courage, young one,"
came our familiar voice of wisdom, equally on tempo.

"Yeah!" Said I.

A smirk cracked the veil of her face.
Where have I seen that face..

"I care to begin right now."

"It pleases the counsel to hear that, miss.."

"Anya. That's all you get.
Now, let me see to the spectacle.."
She walked back out the room, turning the other corner.

My heart grew heavier the instant it clicked.
I knew I knew that face. ***** be crazy.
"Oh, *******," I told myself. "It's her!"
"I know!" I replied.
*"This oughtta be good."

"History" occurs
when at least one conscious being
makes the conscious decision
to look backwards on the Spiral.

My twisted mind finds it fun
to study the trends and correlations
between what I post publicly
and my number of followers.

For any who fancies themselves a fan of my madness:
I love you. Thank you.
For any who does not:
I love you. Thank you.

So there. ;)

The World is a Stage
for the production of Life.
Our Universe is the audience.

Be your character,
but please don't half-*** it:
we're drowning in an endless tide of extras.

I don't like things for external reasons.
I like things because I enjoy them.
They help me to feel alive.
They inspire me.

I don't care if other people like what I do.
I don't care if what I like is ******* 'cool.'
I don't care if others do what I do, too.
I don't care who else likes it,
I simply like it because I do.

I respect diversity
so long as it is genuine,
and so should you.
Diversity is an opportunity;
if it is suppressed,
such opportunity is precluded
and you'll likely never know.

A Life lived
chained to expectations
is a Life not quite lived at all.

Whether or not an idea is true or correct
is of lesser importance
than whether or not the notion
helps One to develop understanding.
Comprehension.

As it so happens,
the truth helps
but is not necessary
for people to draw conclusions
that mean something to them,
but, the problem is,
many of these conclusions are irrational.

Tread lightly
when it comes to the trails of smoke
you chose to follow.
