Working on the chain gang!!

Well thats one whole done. Does'nt half make your teeth rrrrrrattle!!!

Whats this... Oh my god, I've started thinking!

Our conscious motivations, ideas, and beliefs are a blend of false information, biases, irrational passions, rationalizations, prejudices, in which morsels of truth swim around and give the reassurance albeit false, that the whole mixture is real and true. The thinking processes attempt to organize this whole cesspool of illusions according to the laws of plausibility. This level of consciousness is supposed to reflect reality; it is the map we use for organizing our life.

I would'nt say the sleeping arrangements are basic but.... its a bit rough when you have to share with the cows..... When at least they fart less than Dave. :-O
