SLEEVIA

I would suggest that this child is possessed by a demon. And I don't state this out of ignorance, as I am professor in a western University. The signs and symptoms are all there. There have been many cases like this that have been documented. Of course to the western rational mild this is pure poppycock. But this child's condition will not be alleviated until the true causes are recognized and dealt with. This is a spiritual problem that needs spiritual intervention from an experienced priest, Catholic or Orthodox, traditions which recognize this condition and have a 2000 year history dealing with it. The answers will not be found in science as his condition will worsen and never go away. Such arrogance in the scientific community and the scientific mindset will keep this poor soul tormented. Amazing that someone that reads the times daily could suggest something so outside the western mind?

(Time to interact with someone in crowd a little bit.)

Hello there, where are you from? Ah, New York. Born and raised? And how about your date there, the handsome gentleman you’re with this evening, New York as well? Well … you’re both the kind of people I wish I could be, or could have as friends. Oddly enough, I will think about you two pretty often over the next few months from time to time, not even knowing your names, just remembering what you two look like. And I’ll ascribe characteristics to each of you, values and qualities that I long for and fail to see in myself. I will, strangely enough, start to actually base my self-worth on what I think you would or wouldn’t say about what I’ve done with my life. In some of the moments when I ponder the two of you, I’ll imagine a breakup scenario that allows you (gesture to the woman) and me to start dating and reminiscing about how we met in a comedy club when I was onstage. If I think the fantasy all the way through, I’ll realize that, more than making love to you, I want to simply be you. It won’t figure into my sexuality at all, which is to say, it’s not that I’m a man wanting to be a woman so he can make love to men.

LOLOLOL

Easter? BORING.

yo slee - Tupac hologram wasnt a hologram

It calls him a hologram, but hologram he is not: it's a fancy reflection technique called "Pepper's Ghost," named after a mid-19th century optics researcher John Pepper. Yep! 19th century. The trick is based on the fact that glass is both transparent and reflective, meaning it's possible, with the right angles, to bounce a picture off of it that appears to be floating in air.
