beep beep beep beeep beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepThere was just one consistent green line showing on the black screen of the computer. It was over.--------Have you ever tried to be born? It's a frickin nightmare! Pardon my french. It is though, so in case you are toying with the idea, you should really and truly know that there is no other way. To get to live a life on Earth, unfortunately, there isn't. So if you are trying to have a physical experience on Earth, you better be damn sure that it absofrickinlutely has to be Earth.

I gave up my nice roomy flat in the city and moved into the small timber frame house my freshly deceased father had left me. "Oh but that sounds wonderful!", you'll ejaculate, "so peaceful and relaxed!" You have no idea. The thing I had been looking forward to most of all was healthy sleep.

"That's the thing about this city, it is alive" "Yes, it's lovely here." "You don't get it. I mean it is truly alive. "Yes, I know, so lively." "You know nothing. Listen: When I moved here 27 days ago, I wanted a quiet life in a small college town with a good theatre and the woods close by. This town provided all that and more. It was animated, bursting with activity and life. Intoxicating. Affordable housing- easy to find the perfect place. Miraculous. And the people. - So friendly!
