Writers use both their blood and their brains to explore the darkest recesses of their pooling self. Writing allows us to harness the whimsy of the collaborative mind and body, pull our tissue apart like taffy, and expose the composition of our life sustaining organs. Telling our personal story forces us to account for any actions that made us laugh, cry, scream and shout, or hide behind a cloak of mootness. Critical examination of the self allows one to disintegrate the envelope of their present personality and make up a new imaging.

The first zombie is by comparison thin and one dimensional and ironically, it is down to all the exercise.
A mind is a simulation that simulates itself.
The purpose of life is to reach a point where you can say 'yes' to all of it.
