Is it even possible? I dunno.. it's the middle of the day, I'm drinking, and some punk ass kid keeps riding an electric scooter past the house. Does anybody know how to make that situation go away?  |

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened. |

Nothing lives forver. One day, even all the stars of the universe will have gone out. When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand.

Does anybody know how to make that situation go away? It will never happen. Technology will NEVER make the human being immortal. ONLY the soul within us can do that. And i wouldnt want to anyway being part machine like a damn Borg. Or having inferior genetic modified parts in me. NO way. I actually hope the world is destroyed longgggg before that. I pray that it is destroyed before we reach that Borg stuff ...which on a small scale is happening right now. * ---V--- Man's symbiotic connection with the cosmos will be known and there is nothing which can stop that knowing. Because everything we all do everyday helps confirm that truth. It is just that we haven't reached the pinnacle of where it leads. But we will soon enough. We will either live or die with that knowledge. Between Heaven and Earth is us. Be brave young warriors in truth. [link to www.youtube.com] Only a miracle will save us now.
