Tell me something, girl

Are you happy in this modern world?

Or do you need more?

Is there something else you're searchin' for?

I'm falling

In all the good times, I find myself longin' for change

And in the bad times, I fear myself

Tell me something, boy

Aren't you tired trying to fill that void?

Or do you need more?

Ain't it hard keeping it so hardcore?

I'm falling

In all the good times, I find myself longing for change

And in the bad times, I fear myself

I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in

I'll never meet the ground

Crash through the surface, where they can't hurt us

We're far from the shallow now

“There's got to be more to life than just living," Foyle said to the robot.

"Then find it for yourself, sir. Don't ask the world to stop moving because you have doubts."

"Why can't we all move forward together?"

"Because you're all different. You're not lemmings. Some must lead, and hope that the rest will follow."

"Who leads?"

"The men who must...driven men, compelled men."

"Freak men."

"You're all freaks, sir. But you always have been freaks. Life is a freak. That's its hope and glory."

"Thank you very much."

"My pleasure, sir."

"You've saved the day."

"Always a lovely day somewhere, sir," the robot beamed. Then it fizzed, jangled, and collapsed.”

I hitched a ride with a vending machine repair man

He said he's been down this road more than twice

He was high on intellectualism

I've never been there but the brochure looks nice

Jump in, let's go

Lay back, enjoy the show

Everybody gets high, everybody gets low

These are the days when anything goes

Every day is a winding road

I get a little bit closer

Every day is a faded sign

I get a little bit closer to feeling fine

Bored to death, amused to death, bemused both by life and death

I will die for you but I cannot live for you. Why? Because death is the end. Literally the end and full stop. Yes. Null and void.

But life on the other hand is something that has to be suffered, enjoyed and experienced day in and day out and i pity you if you have great genes that keep you alive and kicking into the 90s.

I am confident that God's brains will get fried when it meets a person who asks the right questions hoping to get the right answers. Fat chance. This is similar to the situation about your partner faking an orgasm. Worse, if she has been doing it all her life.

I know, men get all hot, sweaty and concerned about their manhood and sexual prowess.

Two wise souls asked me this question. One was XX and the other was XY and at different points in my life. The guy had obviously seen Seinfeld in which the topic about fake orgasm was bandied about in an episode and I shrugged my shoulders and said, ' How would I know if she is faking or if it is real? But, if she is in faking it then she deserves and Oscar for she fakes and shakes real good.'

A few years later, a woman, a teaser, encroached upon this subject and tried to rouse my feelings about it and I told her. Well, ponder on this. You women talk about faking an orgasm but have you thought about the man on top of you and who is his in his mind and under him.'

She went ' wtf are you are rambling about?'

I smirked and flashed all my canines and added, ' You didn't know this, about men, and what they have been doing for millennia?'

' Doing what?'

' Well, screwing other women in their heads while doing it with their wives under them in their beds?'

O.,a that is a curveball. A googly indeed.'

God and human.

Case 1

' why did you kill yourself?'

' Life was tough. I took the easy way out.

' You should have toughed it out instead of chickening out.'

The human sniggered and replied, ' Look who is talking about chickening out'.

' Human, what do you mean?'

' I mean why create so many of us and then make us all look different and think different and then to make things worse, separate us into the haves and have-nots.'

God hemmed, hawed, cleared its throat and tried to clean its desk and then glaring at me, ' i gave you everything. Work, more than enough money, a good wife and partner, great friends and yes, good looks and health. So WTF are you complaining about?'

' Boring. Boring.'

' Human, what do you mean by boring? This is life... you idiot. It is the same for all creatures and for all your species.'

' So, tell me God, does that mean that I cannot crave for more, want for more, cry for more and do what I want and what I please?'

' Since, you put it that way, I guess it is a bit difficult but also difficult for me to wrap my head around this human phenomenon.

' one kills himself because of debt and heartbreak and the other kills himself because he is bored and without purpose. '

Not the human, but I satish glared at the entity called God and growled, ' Cliched, mundane, boring for every day is a winding road.'

Recognizing this behavior early can save you from having to overcome emotional trauma later, psychologists explain.

Energy drinks are everywhere. How dangerous are they?

Originally marketed squarely at young men, they’re now coming for women’s wallets.

Recent research on lucid dreams suggests that consciousness exists along a spectrum between sleep and waking, between hallucination and revelation, between dreamworlds and reality.
