On Guys and Retirement

There are many beautiful things to do in life.

I just want to find a guy who I can retire with, come up with a way to retire, and then go retire with him. 

And I don't want anything terrible to happen in the process.

Wish me luck.

What is the Plasm?

The Plasm is the system of everything everywhere.

David Bohm called it God.
Hollywood called it The Matrix.
Your astrology friend calls it The Cosmos.

Some other ways it has been formulated, based on the concerns of the individual, include:

institutionalized and systematic oppression of specific groups of people
multiple universes
life
electrons behaving in probabilistic ways

I made up the word "plasm." It's based off the word "cytoplasm," for a variety of reasons. None of these reasons are particularly relevant to the blog. My blog is a collection of personal narratives and life goals that I put out into the Internet. That concludes this post.
