I do not describe my method of remaining under
water and how long I can remain without eating. And I do not publish
nor divulge these, by reason of the evil nature of men, who would
use them for assassinations at the bottom of the sea by destroying
ships, and sinking them, together with the men in them. Nevertheless
I will impart others, which are not dangerous because the mouth of
the tube through which you breathe is above the water, supported on
air sacks or cork.
~Leonardo Da Vinci

I am,
a new wave, but I am old skool,
My inner child is outward bound,
I am,
a hot wired,
heat seeking,
warm heart ed,
cool customer,

I am,
in the moment, on the edge, over the top and under the radar,

I, interface with my data base,
My data base is in cyberspace,
So... I am interactive,
I am,
hyperactive and from time to time,
I am,
radio active.

Behind the eight ball, but ahead of the curve,
Riding the wave,
Dogging the bullet and pushing the envelope.

A high concept,
Low profile,
Medium range,
Ballistic,
Missionary.

Voice activated and bio degradable,

I am, a modern man.
~ George Carlin

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
