Some days, the hug needs you.

But You Have to Get There From Here

There are no transhumans without health insurance.

Readied

I don't fear dying before I'm old,
for I have lived while I'm young.

The Olympics don't bother me; why should St. Valentine's day? Whatever hate-ons or rants I have for things, I develop out of passion; out of pleasure. I grieve and rage because I want to. I have not just taken responsibility for these things. I have seized them. But we all have to tread the line carefully between taking responsibility for our own interior phenomena in order to avoid victimizing ourselves with learned helplessness, and creating a knee-jerk addiction for a false feeling of self-ownership when we are in fact being victimized by something beyond our control.

Today, I am well. Maybe my depressive fits & starts over the last two months have been caused by loneliness, but a HOLIDAY sure isn't going to cause it. There is a sense that it was "just a chemical imbalance". I've been clear of it for at least a week now. I would experiment further, but it makes no sense to duplicate the initial conditions.

And Spring is winding. Winter is losing.

Don't Spill the Beams

If I knew the secret to happiness, I wouldn't tell anybody, either.

Be Careful Where You Point Those Things

If there's one thing a mogul hates worse than his own customers, it's his competition.

Apples, Oranges, and Cherries

"People look at all these sex robots and they say 'Come on, you're kidding, right? These things will never be the same as a real partner.' And despite all the work I've done, I sympathize with them; I really do. Because when you get right down to it, there's just absolutely, positively no substitute..."

" - for a sexbot."

The Times, They Ain't A'Changin'

The Fourth estate has become a Fifth Column, where columnist bylines trade lower lines under the table, for the sake of the very bottom line.

Discovered Country

Your world is a black box you're in; Your mind is a black box you are.

US Presidents on Deception

Washington: I cannot tell a lie.
Lincoln: You can't fool all the people all the time.
Nixon: I'm not a crook.
Bush: You can't get fooled again.
Obama: You can't make this stuff up!

Mother, I May

Live without permission.

Victory March

I already won at life years ago. I've just been watching the credits roll ever since.

Pole Position

I'm the best damn lover I ever had.

God Is Definitely Not Your Co-Pilot

It is the pious, and not the godless, for whom all things are permitted.

We Be Thee - Yo

"We are one" is grammatically incorrect. Using the plural verb in reference to a plural subject later designated as singular in the predicate seems to indicate that the speaker does not take their assertion seriously.
The correct phrase, then, would be "We AM one."
