What am I supposed to do with my dreams? I mean, Im usually
superman. The guy with a day job. I do what Im supposed to do.
I do what I shouldnt. I live in space. I y through space. I ride
cosmic waves like a cowboy screaming, Im John Wayne in a
fucking space suit! And I shoot shit like kablow. Whatever that
means.
Richard Branson made several world record-breaking attempts after 1985, when in
the spirit of the Blue Riband he attempted the fastest Atlantic Ocean crossing. His
rst attempt in the Virgin Atlantic Challenger led to the boat capsizing in British
waters and a rescue by RAF helicopter, which received wide media coverage. Some
newspapers called for Branson to reimburse the government for the rescue cost. In
1986, in his Virgin Atlantic Challenger II, with sailing expert Daniel McCarthy, he
beat the record by two hours. A year later his hot air balloon Virgin Atlantic Flyer
crossed the Atlantic. This was the largest balloon at 2.3 million cubic feet (65,000m), and the rst hot-air balloon crossing the Atlantic. It reached 130 miles per hour
(209 km/h).

Baby faced men folded up and creased like napkins.
Expecting, expectations. Boys pretending to be men. Men
pretending to be boys. And were all fucking perverts
pretending to be saints. Secrets secretions. I know what
you look at. We emulate lies. We are nothing.
The gadget was tested at Trinity Site, New Mexico, near Alamogordo. For the test,
the gadget was lifted to the top of a 100-foot bomb tower. It was feared by some
that the Trinity test might ignite the Earths atmosphere, eliminating all life on the
planet, although a classied report produced several years earlier had demonstrated
that this was not possible. Less wild estimates thought that New Mexico would be
incinerated. Calculations showed that the yield of the device would be between 0 (if
it did not work) and 20 kilotons (metric, equivalence of TNT). In the aftermath of the
test, it appeared to have been a blast equivalent to 18 kt of TNT. It was also a highlycovert operation.

Multiplying capitals. Spelling history. Itsall shit. And Im just a passing failure with

The Tuskegee syphilis experiment (also known as the Tuskegee syphilis study or Pub-
lic Health Service syphilis study) was a clinical study conducted between 1932 and
1972 in Tuskegee, Alabama, by the U.S. Public Health Service. Investigators re-
cruited 399 impoverished African-American sharecroppers with syphilis for research
related to the natural progression of the untreated disease, in hopes of justifying
treatment programs for blacks.

What hasnt been said? You are the dung. I am the dung beetle.
And what is the point anyway? To prove that my words can compare
love to something, and that will prove that were meant to be
together? As if my words could be supernatural signs that provethis isnt just us but its something bigger because the universe
actually gives a fuck about just the two of us. We all think were
special, and were all just ying through space on a fucking rock
into nothing.
Ball lightning is a proposed atmospheric electrical phenomenon of which little is
known. The term refers to reports of luminous, usually spherical objects which vary
from pea-sized to several meters in diameter. It is usually associated with thunder-
storms, but lasts considerably longer than the split-second ash of a lightning bolt.
Many of the early reports say that the ball eventually explodes, sometimes with fatal
consequences, leaving behind the odor of sulfur.

Useless facts for facts sake because we
have to take a test because thats what life
is all about. Theres a reason for all this.
You have to quantify the life. Proving that
you are what you are instead of just being.
Memorizing. Making networks with uselesspeople to do useless things and then die.
Connect, fuck.
In 1963, Alabama Gov. George Wallace personally blocked the door to Foster Audi-
torium at the University of Alabama to prevent the enrollment of two black students.
This became the infamous Stand in the Schoolhouse Door where Wallace personally
backed his segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever policy that
he had stated in his 1963 inaugural address. He moved aside only when confronted
by General Henry Graham of the Alabama National Guard, who was ordered by
President John F. Kennedy to intervene.

Copulation is the union of the sex organs of two sexually reproducing animals for
insemination and subsequent internal fertilization. The two individuals may be of op-
posite sexes or hermaphroditic, as is the case with, for example, snails.

Aum is said to be the primordial sound that was present at the creation of the uni-
