Everyone's a slave. Your parents make you that way that you stay that way. Don't dare be irresponsible! I need you here. Not to mention your priests politicians professors. Have a countdown is key to cutting the umbilical cord. Most won't. Most don't.

It's just one factor that will kill you. Each year you dodge one more bullet. If you live until 90 almost certain you have cancer. You can still live fine and won't even know you have it. Treat cancer talk as a call to wake up before it's too late. Imagine you are sure to die Dec 31. You better do what you put off all these years. You may not have it as good next time round should you get another turn. You have everything needed right now to wake up. Let cancer be your clarion call.

I at last awaken to the glory of the absolute essence that I am.

Yes. But forget the evil doer. Focus on you. How am I going to live is the only question.

Evil is whatever lets badness proliferate. An it's not my problem attitude. Today's world is cast in stone. Tomorrow's world depends on me. Do I end badness or turn the blind eye.

Women just want to be taken care of. And if they deny so they assuredly agree they are not taking care of any man. Attraction and body count amounts to cash in the bank. Or at least presenting the appearance of one who can take care of her and her needs. Drunk sex and mercy sex being some exceptions that over time make her feel a loser,

The goal of life is every day be better. What you have to do is get more free. This means dumping all the shit that is holding you back. Liberation is doing what you want. It takes a lifetime.

Featured one of the most audacious bicycle kicks ever seen at a World Cup by the US's Marcel Balboa and 14 days after the match the Columbian whose own goal lead to their defeat, Jose Escobar, committed suicide. Two weeks later on a glorious and joyous July 4th, the US acquitted themselves exceptionally well in the round of last 16 at the Stanford Stadium going down 1-0 to the eventual winners Brazil.
