An Uncanny Inner Fortitude

All right, here it is. They were all set up right for ya.

So, now tell me... how could anyone not believe in God? 

I need to get out of here. If not in body, at least in mind. I need to. 

How do you know when my birthday is? I don't know myself

how each of you, in your own way, is going to handle...discarding 

long ways toward solving a number of your issues. The only way to get

burned out or smoked out and come back to me I know 

was coming back from a trip, or maybe not, but I came into 

nothing more than a step, a method for taking me from this place to 

what I suggest...because I don't know how long it's gonna be. I have 

a common misconception that you can just stick a turkey in the 

state of heavy consciousness neither aware nor unaware. My body 

is prehistoric. An organism behaves according to its nature 

and both of us took off our caps and waved and laughed like 

the long and the short of it is that you have to be naked.
