    ...unfortunately Mu, like Socrates, Britney and Tom Waits is m-m-mortal and so can only evade Thanatos temporarily by eating well and watching both ways when crossing the road...but cannot keep him at bay...

    Such is the reach of death that even today, when Mu woke up in a f-f-festive mood, all excited at the thought of the season of good will (c)TM and saw the pale watery-wintry sun and blue sky...Mu thought how life cannot go on without enjoining in the ecstasy of capitalism and the mutual devouring of organisms. If at the end of each person's life they were to be presented with the living and material spectacle of all that they had organismically incorporated in order to stay alive, he or she might well feel horrified by the living energy he had ingested. The horizon of a gourmet, or even the average person, would be taken up with hundreds of chickens, flocks of lambs and sheep, a small herd of steers, sties full of pigs, fields of carrots, cocoa beans and rice, lakes of oil, whole scrap-yards of metal and rivers of fish. The din alone would be deafening. And so it is that we can all raise our heads over this field of corpses, smile into the sun, and declare life good...for there are reasons enough...

    Mu.

    ...well now that we're f-f-friends Mu would like to offer his help to a fellow soul in distress

    SPECIAL 3 for 2 OFFER on Mu's Para-Redemption and Confession Service

    Definition of "Para"(from the Oxford English Dictionary)
    ‘As a preposition, gr. para had the sense ‘by the side of, beside’ whence ‘alongside of, by, past, beyond’ etc. In composition it had the same senses with such cognate adverbial ones as ‘to one side, aside, amiss, faulty, irregular, disordered, improper, wrong’; also expressing subsidiary relation, alteration, perversion, simulation, etc.


    Definition of "Redemption" (from the Oxford English Dictionary)
    3. In religions generally: salvation; deliverance from what is regarded as evil, esp. viewed as due to divine agency or to a certain right relationship to a divine reality.


    Customer Testimonial: "Yes, there is another order of seeing, another way.
    W-w-with Mu's help you can cure your sickness and find out there is another reality" Dennis Potter (Bristol)

    I really am getting pole dancing lessons. It's surreal, but for the first time in my life I have these tense moving lumps under my stomach skin - apparently it's muscle or something? I dunno. It's all greek to me. How is everything?? Oh, I am also taking German lessons in a life-improvement kinda way. Missing you.
