Screaming in a Soundproof Room
A dream is a myriad of disconnected thoughts trying to weave themselves into plot points. Hello and welcome to tonight's episode of the sedentary life. You're instructed to sit and wait it out. It will all be over soon. The world is polluted, the food supply is contaminated with genetic modification, and animal life that we haven't even identified yet is dying. You should care. All this and more, after these messages.
Are you thinking about sex right now? Why not? Is there something wrong with you? Well isn't there? Is your body already letting you down? Yeah, you probably should be concerned. But we can help. We're the corporate smooth operators; call now -- someone will be on the line to assist you. Celebrate your unachievable advertising-land dreams, and your comparative mediocrity with vigour. We have the solution to put you to sleep, to wake you up, to make you forget, and to invent some [wink] meaningful friendships. Lonely? Sad? Horny? Great! Think of me as your rich uncle, with a professional manicure.
Oh welcome back. Look who's been saying naughty things. Well, we can't tell you what he said, but we can show you the clip. "I'll tell you that she's a [beep] [beep], that's for sure." In the footage, notice the pixelated censor marks. Ignore the war, the changing climate, the extortionist fuel prices, but pay careful attention to the witty banter. Allow yourself to laugh a little. Feel better? And for those of you just joining us, here again are the pixelated censor marks. Intriguing, aren't they?
Got questions? Got pain? Get solutions! Call 1-800-DIVERSIONS-R-US, and we'll help you ignore life's bigger questions. Are you still trying to be a social activist? Are you holding out for real change? We need your money! Is life going too fast, or are you just living too slow? Maybe you need a bigger car, a bigger house, a better job or a brand new and improved spouse 2.1 with all the latest upgrades 2,000 years of medical science can provide. Downloading 76% done...

I thought that post was cool, I am not sure what it all means...kind of like a dream.
Thanks Eric. I was hoping that you'd still be around even though I'm having terminal issues with my site's feed.
My wife has encouraged me to write more in this vein. It comes very naturally to me with all the crazy things that I'm bombarded by over the course of a day.
Memories in human brains have no off. Or reset.
