I hate my body.

Nothing superficial about it, I just hate that it's such a limited form.

First of all I'm confined to one shape, which is in and of itself ludicrous. If I were amorphic I'd be able to reconstitute myself into any shape or size. I think I would let my daily emotional state define my appearance in that case.

Second, all my senses are dull. Smell, touch, taste, sight and hearing. Whatever. Five fuckin senses like I picked up my bits and pieces at the bottom of a Value-Plus bargin bin. I'm sure that if I had an extra 5 senses I would be enjoying the shit outta life that much more.

Extinction is inevitable. We can prolong it but we exist on a finite time line no matter how expansive. Happened to a billion species before us and it'll occur to a billion more after us. These species will have their hayedays; roaming the Earth (or whatever they might call it) consuming and devouring natural resources; perched at the top of the food chain.

We are doomed by our inability to transcend our own limitations. We're built to go only so far. Take Australopithecus Africanus for example; inhabited the earth roughly 3 - 1.6 million years ago, that's an awful long time. But in those million plus years they never managed to develop any tools more complex than a sharpened stone, it never even occured to them to put it on the end of a stick and make a spear. Were they dumb? Sure by our standards; they just weren't built to think that far ahead and eventually they died off and a species more adept to the enviorment sprung up and took charge.

I spend at least an hour a day randomly flipping through people's MySpace profiles. Just invading their lives for a minute or two, acknowledging their existence and moving on.

If I were the President I would cancel the War on Terror, the War on Drugs and the War on Poverty... I'd start the MySpace initiative instead.

I'd make sure there was a one computer to person ratio in all public places all around the world. I'd hook everyone up with a MySpace account and watch their souls get sucked onto the net.

In the now/future ideas are currency and your brain is a trust...

The new culture has more outlets than cataloged media. People will pay for a glimpse of your perceptions,interpritations and solutions.

Labor is irrelevant, best left to robots and baby boomers.
