Flickering lights that don't exist phantom sounds and smells, the mind is either hallucinating or actually seeing a parallel existence that for whatever reason is bleeding in the one I am sitting in, for the distant possibility a door was to open for matter to traverse another reality, I find I would have a hard time resisting the urge to walk through it, to what I may find may horrify me or it may excite and inspire me, maybe in this parallel existence things are pretty much the same but with a brighter flow of life, or it could be a world run by cyborgs and humans are simply redundant memories of history, the mind can get lost in all the possibilities of what most certainly is just an exhausted mind hallucinating;

After a long sleepless night filled with pain, the old man drags his lifeless breathless corpse out of a sunken bed of jagged shards of rocky thorny steel, unable to yet see as the classical music plays he scrapes himself across the floor to prepare his coffee, as his hands shake and tremble he pours in the water and counts the scoops of grind, fumbling he manages to plug in the percolator and as the coffee begins to perc, he shuffles off to the toilet where his bowels bellow out in a hungerous rage, in the mirror an exhausted man stares of into the abyss his reflection shows his disheveled hair and beard, to tired to care he stumbles back to his bed where he struggles to pull on his socks pants and shoes, he gets up and pours a cup of coffee and gently packs his pipe with scraps of tobacco, he pulls on his coat and steps out the door, the morning has a grays tint as clouds obscure the morning sun the air is cool and moist, as the world begins to wake not a soul seems to care for the horrish plight of a hellish existence the old man is forced to endure yet another day;

I am disabled and Bipolar, on SSDI, I have severe anxiety and bipolar, PTSD, ADD/ADHD. I do not drive. I am poor. I struggle to make ends meet, and I have many unmet needs. I need help to get a home where I can keep until I die. I don’t want to worry about what I am going to eat, I don’t want to go to be hungry anymore, I don’t want to worry about the decline of my mental health, because of lack of care. My health is slowly but steadily declining. I have not had proper care for some time.
If I could raise ~$3 million in a rather short amount of time, I could obtain my own property and home, whether I buy a house and property or vacant property and build my forever home. My realistic ideal budget for property and home along with the necessary things that go with a home, is currently around $500,000 and that is very doable. But lets just say to create my forever home, furnish it stock it with food and all the stuff one needs to live, cost $1.5 million I would still have $1.5 million left in the bank which would give me $37,500 a year for the next 40 years of my life, which is an increase of $25,000 a year over my current $12,000 a year. Which would allow me to cover all my property taxes, utilities, maintenance, food and groceries and basic life costs, and not have to ever worry about what I am going to eat, or where I will sleep and for how long.

As the sun shines the light is both dark and bright, my muscles burn my bones ache, my mind is drowning in a haze of fog as my hands struggle to strike the keys to type the words evade my grasp to convey my exhaustion and pain, the season of the spring of my youth long gone the summer and fall of my existence behind me as the winter of my being settles in, so few can observe the frozen world in which I now exist, for the actions of motion are labored and the desire to climb has long since faded, simply out of spite my body trudges on like a zombie in the night refusing to die, dragging the agonizing weight of gravity through each and every day, for what disability has not yet killed within me poverty has stolen from me, the endless winter in where I now exist is like the voids of the great abyss, eternally cloaking me in a blanket of invisibility, shrouding my plight from society as time robs me of my dignity, with each passing moment I lose not hope but time itself as it evades me most of my days, for the moment I attempt to be to the moment I give in for the day, I lose where I am and was in any given moment, for to see your decline from the outside while you experience the decay from within, helpless to convey the agony of simply being through any day, is but a foolish errand for no comprehension could be had for the state I am enduring each day;

For I know not how yet time continues to evade me, blocks of time as vast as the cosmos evade me, without notice or action I find myself losing moments, minutes and hours, with no evidence of where it has gone or how it was spent, for the music or tv can be on and as I seem to lose time, I am never losing place, as if time itself stops and I am aware yet unable to move or remember, for if you read a book and turn the page does the story continue, yet in this place I am, the stories that are flowing appear to stop when the time around me does to, for this is perplexing and unsettling, as time has always had its own ways, but as my days become numbered time shifts more and more, and without knowing how somehow I am slipping through its door;

The turbulent nature of spaghettification prevents the willingness of entering a black hole, however that is not logical, one can only assume that the turbulence is either ongoing or creates a permanent spaghettification of matter, without actually going through both the process and the black hole completely we will never understand the transformation of matter nor resulting effects; A black hole is a bridge to another dimension the spaghettification is not chaos a necessary transformation to allow matter to traverse from this dimension to the next, any fear of engaging this transformation is simply illogical; Human conscious has far greater potential once extracted from its corporeal form, sadly human constructs of existence are the only barrier between what is and what can actually be;

The volumization of atomized nanites has execed the volume of breathable atmosphere, the atomized nanites have effectively reconfigured the human respiratory system, and a full integration of atomized nanites are now recoding the entire human genome from within a living human, allowing humans to travel anyplace without need of any specialized suits or medications to survive;

Judging by its frequency of 2FA requests for same computer, same browser, same session, #PayPal is not yet convinced that this upstart os I'm using in my new #System76 machine is wholly legit.
