Its always a good day either After all how much
visiting the city or being out of
it for a few days.
perfection of can a guy take?

by Joe B. Well, Mother’s Day is over Father’s Day coming up soon. Leaving the city for awhile is like a roman holiday. Sometimes one must get out of ones living space to visit others spaces. Besides when I’m out of the city the stress is also left behind for a day or two. I wish it was longer but for now a few days will have to do. Say, [Hypothetically] I wrote a book or two turning fiction, non fiction, mystery or which ever genre into a real career. How would I find rest after being on plane, trains, and/or car junkets riding, sleeping through other cites and signing autographs. I’d first call the agent, publisher, publicist informing them that I need a few weeks rest and relaxation before getting back on the grind of book promotion. My cell phone, land phone, PC’s, (both portable laptop and desktop home bound computer.) I may visit friends, if married mow the lawn, play with the children too. Mostly having quiet days doing nothing at all besides various types of Yoga both physical and mental disciplines further calming me, dating women if I’m still single. Then to work of signing autographs, speaking to people about the book or books written, offered commercial work and/or story ideas for a next book to work on. I don’t know if I’ll ever be a successful writer or if it happens how to handle the fame, adulation, my anonymity for a time gone. But I do know overwork is no way to live and whenever one has a chance to catch a breath do it. It may never happen but its good practice to stay grounded so my ego don’t swell up my head and I act like a fool. Ever see the commercial when a group of guys in a car are driving down a highway and one guy says "Duck!" and there is a real duck on the wet road and they swerve to avoid it? Years ago it would have been crunch, thud, or splat and one more bloody, flattened, dead duck. In the car liquid spills as the car flips over and two guys pants are splattered one guy’s pants is completely clean despite the spill while the first one is wet. If not the first its an early use of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology [nanometre scale, which is about one billionth of a metre or about 80,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. If you divided the edge of a dime 1,000 times and divided each sliver another 1,000 times, you would reach the nanometre scale. Last updated Friday, Nov. 8, 2002. Anyone remember "Deep Red" about life saving/extending technology hidden in cigarettes manufactured secretly on earth? The cigarettes are radically different unlike anything produced on earth by tobacco growers. First they don’t poison but improve, lengthen the lives of people smoking them. They also regenerate dead tissues using advanced cellular regeneration. I read in one of those weird newspapers you know "living vampires, Hitler’s Clone, or frozen Viking flash frozen 1,200 years discovered in a glacier. True or not nano-technology will be one of many seemingly miracle sciences that will subtly change our lives in ways unimagined. I’m absently thinking of this Thursday night waiting for a 49 bus on Van Ness and Market Street as cold winds blow. All weather clothes instantly adjust to summer/ winter/spring/fall climates monitoring human body adjusting to his or her skin temperature. How about liquid gel capsules with both minerals, trace minerals, vitamins in them once taken orally or by injection nano machines supply human bodies the exact balance of all the substances by the day, week, month, or year. Personally, I’d like natural or improved artificial melanin safely built up in me making me darker and protecting me from ultraviolet rays. As an added benefit it could also aid in execrating cellular repair on molecular level becoming routine as taking aspirin or vitamins are now. Is it me or are we standing, heading backward, or standing still in technology in spite of Nanotechnology and Genome Sciences advances? Please inform me if right or tell me if I’m not. Bye.
