O God, I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams.

Last night I dreamt I had a jar of black flies ( you know, the ones that bite ) and my job was to keep adding flies, but only keep so many alive, while killing the rest. Id open the lid fast and mash my hand in and kill so many and scoop them out then add more live ones. Apparently my subconscious brain likes to tie math to living shit or something.
Do not sleep under a roof. Carry no money or food. Go alone to places frightening to the common brand of men. Become a criminal of purpose. Be put in jail, and extricate yourself by your own wisdom

I was a big Primus fan, and still am, but once I learned they were just being the residents tying to sound like zappa I got less interested.

The moon had risen behind him, the color of a shark's underbelly. It lit the ruined walls, and the skin of his arms and hands, with its sickly light, making him long for a mirror in which to study his face. Surely he'd be able to see the bones beneath the meat; the skull gleaming the way his teeth gleamed when he smiled. After all, wasn't that what a smile said? Hello, world, this is the way I'll look when the wet parts are rotted.

I love these new DNA testing sites they have, I should really drop the 80 bucks. But these videos of like, skinheads finding out theyre jews, or white supremacists finding out they’re 18% subsaharan african is just, wonderful. Not just because its funny but because math doesnt lie, and it’s hard to say it lies.
Really ALL humans are SOME african, but these tests dont go THAT far back. I watched a video of Irish people taking these tests, and they came back as youd guess if you know history, brittish/irish, spanish, and middle eastern. Germans/Scandinavians often come up 78-80% western european, and then some middle eastern or Indian. I’m interested to know but I’m also poor, so I will guess, based on no actual science other than the videos ive seen of people with my general ancestry and roots:
70-75% Western European
10% Middle Eastern
5% Italian/Iberian ( Spanish )
5% Native American
5% Other.
Now when I break down and buy the test, which lets be honest i probably will, I’ll site this and see how close I am.
Musings and more of a despondant 30 year old man, former drug addict, current writer/alcoholic. I'm unmarried, I have no children, and all my dreams are dead, I've wasted my life, and you can too! Never say never. Sometimes prolific, mostly offensive observations about people, life, and the nature of the universe. I'm a communist, your god's a lie, hate mail welcome.
