The self construction projected onto whatever floats your boat. Since
our biological apparatus lends us towards the luxery of improved
coffee and cow dung brewing techiques as well as the quest for
immorality aka lack and/or anxiety, we'd like to imagine that concrete
better paves those yellow brick roads. Plus Uncle Al's wife's udders
possible induce some form of worship. Although my last quip is likely
untrue, i unhappy conclude.
