/--[ Steve's Debris ]----------------------------------------------------------\ | | | ___ | | / \ Hey, Steve. I wanted to | | < --00 have a brief chat with you | | | _\ / about your career goals \\//\|// | | \___/ and the areas where you | | | | / \ would like to develop and grow. (v)(v) 3- | | | | | | \ What do you mean grow? - \---< | | | You know, how would \____/ | | you like to improve? Where | | do you see yourself / | | five years from now? | | Well, to tell you the truth, | | I've already seen myself | | five years from now. As a matter of | | fact, you're not really of much | | use to me now because I've pretty | | much seen it all at this point. | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | ___ | | / \ Well, that's a pretty arrogant | | < --00 thing for you to say, but I'll | | | _\ / let that slide for now. I used to be \\//\|// | | \___/ a young know-it-all just like you, | | | | / \ so I can relate to how you're feeling. (-)(-) 3- | | I've had a long career here, and I | | | | can tell you that there are always \---< | | | new opportunities to advance \____/ | | your career here. | | / | | I wasn't joking. I literally | | \ have SEEN IT ALL. | | .... ? | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | \\//\|// | | ____ | | | | / \ (0)(0) 3- | | < --00 | | | | | _\ \---< | | | \____/ \____/ | | / \ / | | | | After work on Friday, I went home and took a heroic dose | | of LSD and adderrall. Soon the residual anxiety of my work week was | | extinguished as I was enveloped in a tidal wave of electricity. | | My entire body felt like a light saber, pregnant with the energy of | | possibility. Soon the intensity was overwhelming, and I found myself | | seeking a comfortable space. Naturally, I went to my desk and sat in | | front of my computer. My mind was restless, and I soon found myself | | hacking away at graphics algorithms. This had always been a dream of | | mine, plus I found myself desiring some visualizations with which to | | enhance my psychedelic experience. I started out creating simple objects | | of various shapes, colors, and sizes, but I soon found that the simplicity | | of these primitive shapes was unfulfilling. I took it a step further, and | | ended up writing a program that generated all possible permutations of | | pixels and colors displayable by my monitor. I then increased the | | framerate to a speed that most people would deem imperceptible. | | The acid began distorting my perception of time. Light years were collapsed | | into moments, and the resulting synesthesia allowed me to touch, smell, | | taste, hear, and live each frame. I followed each outcome to its inevitable | | conclusion. I experienced the greatest depths of pleasure and pain, | | war and peace, love and hatred. I lived all possibilities and read | | the entire text of all current and future knowledge backwards and forward. | | There is no five years from NOW. Bill was right when he said that we are | | all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. He was right when | | he said that life is only a dream, and we are the imagination | | of ourselves. So tell me, HOW EXACTLY DO YOU THINK YOU CAN HELP ME? | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | \\//\|// | | ____ Well I'll be god damned, Mr. Omnipotent. | | | | / \ If you've already done all of that, (0)(0) 3- | | < --00 / then what's left? | | | | | _\ \---< | | | \____/ / \____/ | | / \ Well, there's only | | one thing I have yet to experience. | | \ | | What's that? / | | | | My own lack of existence | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | \/ -\ // | | ____ -- - = > - | | / \ |=== < -0)-0) -- | | < --00 || | > > | | | _\ \\ \ - - = | | | \____/ \\ \____/ | | / \ | | | | | | | | | \---------------------------------------------[ http://www.killnine.com ]------/
