It was a bright, winter day. The icy, crystal air scraped at my cheeks. With every breath, the frost cut deeper into my throat. Right through the extra thick wool sweater, the cold clawed at my bones. It felt as I was naked past my skin. This time there was no hope of returning unscathed.

Where they judge you if you talk about the magnificent chain of events that just happened in your mind all at once that have nothing to do with the current conversation? Where they shut down your every suggestion because it's not...

But fixing that may require a weirder theory still PHYSICS, its practitioners will proudly tell you, is the most fundamental of sciences.

Ah, such a beautiful word. We've all felt it, some of us are feeling it right now but after all what's it to it? Me, I have a tendency of questioning everything, I demand reasons for all my actions, I try to explain events, feelings, relationships, and of course love. And you know what I've discovered?

More importantly, you must realize that you (and I) could pass from this earthly plane in but a moment, and that we do not is surely a lucky thing indeed. However,...

Alas. My computer is probably killing me. Isn't technology slowly killing us? It makes sense in evolution-that technology would slowly kill us all and not need a user. I sit with my laptop. Its warmth and humming noise sooth me. The warmth is like the warm touch of a humans....
