        Certain intricate and unique forces shape the world around us.  When
 one of these forces decides to run away from the pack, chaos emerges.

        It was a clear day with the sun shining down, causing a slight itch
 to your irritable skin.  He was sitting there sheepishly reading a black
 book with a vibe that you coulda swore was mystical, but on further
 investigation you learn that the book is acually a civil rights book
 depicting years of courage, fortitude.

        It goes without saying that this book does not include one helpful
 direction.  It is weird that a book so aptly labeled "civil rights" wouldn't
 at least outline the rights within.  The book is casually cast away into one
 of the adjacent disposal units, and it's journey begins.

        As a young book, it had been born in a small factory in Iowa which
 was located right by the best bagel place this side of Takipsi.  They had
 this salmon cream cheese that was to die for.  I believe the place was named
 "Bagels and more" although it could have easily been any bagel derivative.

        The woman who worked in the store knew a lot about mystical forces,
 and I would sometimes ask her what is the meaning of life?, and she would
 always reply...

        "Get out of my store you crazy kid."

        and that is what childhood means to me.
