In essence, do human beings require a rational mode of communication to express their ideas to themselves? I believe that they don’t.

Some dicks that apparently are easily amused signed me up for spam mail on a variety of porn sites. All of a sudden instead of the under 5 pieces of junk mail from companies like Ebay and Paypal that send mail weekly, I’ve started getting dozens of Viagra, “hot and under 18”, and other such [...]

It doesn’t seem long ago when we were watching while repressing laughter someone scream on the dining table every “bad word” he knew with his hands over his ears (monkey, donkey, stupid, idiot), or biking down hill in Pines Park, or the framing seva in Santa Clara, or your calling me the green astronaut, or [...]

I went to this party today with my parents where myself, my brother and another cousin of mine, seemed to be one of the few kids who had gone through puberty. “Woah what is this?” “A candle (something I can’t recall)” “You used all of this candle? I’ve never lit a candle in my life. [...]

I read a different article with the same concept as the following but about business and found it fascinating. This is a make of it, and completely fictional of course.
