What’s that shiny thing in the street?

Could it be an iPod?

Indeed I think it is!

Prescience or just common sense?:

breathe in
air streaming through
nose, throat, lungs, bloodstream, cells, energy
when does it become me?
can you point to the spot?
take a bite
food slowly squishing through
mouth, throat, stomach, intestines, bloodstream, cells, energy
when does it become me?
can you point to the spot?
birth
energy concentrating
sex, sperm, egg, embryo, womb, birth
when do I start being me?
can you point to the spot?

When will a major movie producer take the plunge, and release a blockbuster movie completely free on the internet, using product placement alone to pay all the bills?

We sick an’ tired of-a your ism-skism game -
Dyin’ ‘n’ goin’ to heaven in-a Jesus’ name, Lord.
We know when we understand:
Almighty God is a living man.
You can fool some people sometimes,
But you can’t fool all the people all the time.
So now we see the light
We gonna stand up for our rights!
– Bob Marley

Suddenly his eyes flash open. “Hello,” he says calmly.
“I have studied from all the masters. I know how to breathe correctly. I know how to stand and sit correctly. I know [...]

IV. The Academics.
An old man and a young man are huddled in a small study, surrounded by books. There are shelves from floor to ceiling on all sides, filled with books. Smoke wafts throughout the room from the old man’s pipe.
“Knowledge. So much. All the things you could ever want to know,” says the younger [...]

III. The Provider.
A man and a woman are sitting at a table together. The woman is enormously fat. The man looks at the clock on the wall, then gets up to go to the window. He skulkily reaches through and picks up a basket from the flower bed outside, which he brings in and sets [...]

II. Sex.
“Isn’t it great?! There are women here you can do anything you like with! All the time! You wouldn’t *believe* all the crazy things I’ve done with them. I’ve had sex with hundreds of women. I’ve had sex in hundreds of positions. With mutiple women at once! And they all love it, no matter [...]
