VANISH

what would you choose to do with 7 days to live:
from ignorance to innocence to write in such a way that gives the reader the full scope power of freedom to believe whatever it means once inside the darkness then say goodbye to life for the last time when it takes 3 beers to feel 1 some might find it my fault without knowing why as if addiction = logic + pussy + super transcendent bliss Emerson raised to the level of Thoreau no less impressive than Plato totem hyping Aristotle with prehistoric intellectual junkies consuming  toxic sophistry hard to the core unknown and 2 steps ahead of the help cunning truth from out of its essence leaving a shell ghost expression pure surface dead language shooting silence words driven ruined in shadow marks cast above incandescent light quantum lines between parallel minds End of Story almost absolutely but don't ask me of fractured metallic moment contrasting stages of self spiraling religion into philosophy into science into money into family into my final creative act "We mean that man first of all exists encounters himself surges up in the world and defines himself afterwards.  If man as the existentialist sees him is not definable it is because to begin with he is nothing.  He will not be anything until later and then he will be what he makes of himself.  Thus there is no human nature because there is no God to have conception of it.  Man simply is.  Not that he is simply what he conceives himself to be but he is what he wills and as he conceives himself after already existing - as he wills to be after that leap towards existence.  Man is nothing else but that which he makes of himself.  That is the first principle of existentialism.  And this is what people call its 'subjectivity' using the word as a reproach against us.  But what do we mean to say by this but that man is of a greater dignity than a stone or a table.  For we mean to say that man primarily exists - that man is before all else something which propels itself towards a future and is aware it is doing so.  Man is indeed a project which possesses a subjective life instead of being some kind of moss or fungus or a cauliflower."
