Hook a brotha up.

I'd like you all to recall the story of St. Peter and companion as they were walking into the temple to preach. A beggar by the door asked them for money they could spare and St. Peter said, "I do not have money to give you, but I can give you what I have." and he procedded to heal him of whatever ailment he had. Well, we cannot do that, or at least our faith is not that great, but we can help this man. Trust me, he needs it, and fast. He may be out of towels as we speak.

Yum yum eatum up

As reviewed at Gabesreview:

Ah, transfattyacids, that poor discriminated against of all the fatty acids. Has anyone else noticed the outright war food makers are waging on this poor mutant beast of modern creation. Sure it might increase your cholesterol, or give you a heart attack at the age of 45, but is that ol' transy's fault? In the beggining was lard, and it was good. The world rejoiced in its creaminess, and the way it could make any food (and I mean ANY!) taste not only good, but enjoyable. But man's food lust could not be satisfied. We needed "healthier" alternatives, without sacrificing the flavor. Lo and behold! vegetable oil was a great alternative and it only had one downside!!! Hurray! Wait, one down side? Go on. Well it seems vegetable oils tend to become, how you say, rancid. As in they rot quickly and that does not make for good eating, let me tell you.
It seems, though, if you hydroginate those suckers, they last a lot longer. Now we have a long lasting, lowfat, alternative to our true love of Lard. The Lord did grin, and the people did feast, unwittingly having released the beast that is the transfattyacid. Not only do they increase "bad" cholesteral, but "good" cholesteral as well. What's a man to do you ask? Boycott all foods with transfatt in it. Conversley, if you buy food that says "No Trans Fat!!" in little blurbs all over the box, it MUST be healthy. In fact they dont just cause health, they are the substance of health. Pure health in a box. Yet, remember to shed a tear for transfattyacids, it wasnt their fault, they were just made that way.

Hot digity

What happens to a man when he has nothing to look forward to? What must be the next, logical consequence to this unfortunate occurance be? let us follow the rabbit hole. Can a man truly have "nothing to look forward to"? Many would say no, by our very nature, namely rational, we can hypothesis, imagine, hope, thus creating endless elements for a future object to be supplied to our intellect and for us to "look forward" to it. Yet, this opperation of the intellect is not necessary, such as, "reasoning" is to the faculty of "reason". A man, by having reason, cannot cease to employ his reason. He may be misinformed, and use it incorrectly, but the actualization must be constant. Ergo, a man MAY look forward, but this act is not necessary, leaving him to lack its performance.
So a man can, not look forward to anything. Where then does his gaze, inner and outer, look towards? If not forward, then behind, oui non? Presuming, of course, that the gazer gazes from the present, thus excluding it, the present, as an object of the gaze. Then we have a man who soley beholds the past, in all its unchanging, and unchangeable glory. Now we can examine the result of such a state. Due to the nature of the past being unchangeable, the viewer must be limited to finite # of observations, due to his never extrapalating any new, and thus forward thinking, propositions or knowledge. He, ah fuck it, the four shots of espresso are wearing off, and from what I can tell, i just verbaly diahread all over the screen. Im bored, parched and its saturday night.

Bam!

And new philosophy calls all in doubt,
The element of fire is quite put out;
The sun is lost, and th' earth, and no man's wit
Can well direct him where to look for it.
And freely men confess that this world's spent,
When in the planets, and the firmament
They seek so many new; they see that this
Is crumbled out again to his atomies.
'Tis all in pieces, all coherence gone;
All just supply, and all relation:
Prince, subject, father, son, are things forgot,
For every man alone thinks he hath got
To be a phoenix, and that then can be
None of that kind, of which he is, but he.
This is the world's condition now.

John Donne, 1611
