Apr 28, 2011 - I just got mind fucked...no BS, MIND FUCKED! Am I the only person who is just getting a high off this stuff?! This shit is like snorting a megaton of cocaine in 1 millisecond. Fuck this is beautiful. Brilliant people are coming together to create the FUTURE. I study science as much as I can & I am usually fairly up to date on what's going on but I never get tired of feeling amazed @ what's coming up next. That giant flying ball, I had a dream like that once & it's going to be REAL. FUCKING COOL!
