Sir Sisu Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 For those with speakers and Real Player or other media player who want a heightened experience, start with the first link. The second can then be listened to for the remaining duration. Intro Background mood music Welcome to a bizarre yet familiar destination. Each fork in the road brings us back to the start. We still do not know where we are going. Weakened by curiosity, we continue forward; picking up strangers, willing passengers to enter Coinpeople's Ugly Zone. Our consciousness sees them, but their essence eludes us. They are our daily companions that we seldom think of. They shun beauty and vanity in order to vie for our attention. Amazing what happens when Time and its sidekick Space decide to abruptly stop. And stop they did all over this cent. Not just once but as our heads were lost in their aimless orbit, trying to focus on the single impossibility of the here and now, this cent was already beyond our vision, being dragged by that duo across the abrasive and corroding dimensions of themselves. Their bequeathment to us: As usual we are handicapped by our humanity. We desire a hero to save us, explain to us, lift us up beyond the shortcomings that has been bequeathed us. Desperate, we latch on to the first available candidate and soon find ourselves back at square one. Our "hero" is but a mere reflection of our antagonist. We see the glimmer of what once was, yet it degenerates before us. We envision our hero, but our eyes deceive us: the green is only verdigris. Is all lost? Our heads continue to orbit . . .

dustin43160 Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 eww the second is yuckie!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted October 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Neither is nice. I put my vote on the former. The latter is a clear cut throw away for me. But that first one I would actually be tempted to keep, and that scares me. It must hold some evil powers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stujoe Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Both are worthy of the competition but Mark's gets my vote!

Sir Sisu Posted October 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 4 votes? I am not sure anyone ventures down here in the forums any more! It seems that way. Or maybe they are both so ugly that indecision rules? Or has my babbling put everyone into the Twilight Zone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
