Dave Matthews and Mark Roebuck

it was cold
i was walking, it was dark
and in the streetlamp in the distance there was another
he got to his knees and they were bleeding
he began to pray to something i could not see

and if we touch no one
and in return are touched by no one
as if our hands are passing right on through the wall
and if we walk like shadows
not feeling our feet on the ground

could it be we are dead?
imagine we were
imagine we were

i think we lost ourselves the last time we went dreaming
and now i’m trapped outside the past, like a whispering ghost
i feel you next to me, but i’m feeling nothing at all
nothing at all
nothing at all

could it be we are dead?
imagine we were
imagine we were
imagine we were

“Whenever I’ve tried to free my life from a set of the circumstances that continually oppress it, I’ve been instantly surrounded by other circumstances of the same order, as if the inscrutable web of creation were irrevocably at odds with me. I yank from my neck a hand that was choking me, and I see that my own hand is tied to a noose that fell around my neck when I freed it from the strangers’ hand. When I gingerly remove the noose, it’s with my own hands that I nearly strangle myself.”

- Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

I’m a bio/phil double major!!! I would say that there wasn’t a distinct, first member of the chicken species, for the chickens have ancestors just like homo sapiens do, and there’s some fluidity there. *loud, booming voice* evolution *crowd goes insane*

This is the rational, informed answer. I, unencumbered by any knowledge of biology, just tried to make up a cute story.

…but I don’t like this answer because I want nothing to do with an explanation that denies the existence of an OG Chicken.

which came first: the chicken or the egg?

The chicken, of course. There’s no way a chicken could’ve hatched from an egg laid by a non-chicken, right? The first chicken could not have been born from an egg, just as Adam and Eve weren’t birthed by humans. Where did it come from, then? The only plausible explanation is that this chicken was causa sui - the self-caused chicken. The First Chicken (capitalized to show proper respect for this wondrous being (we could also call it the O.G. Chicken)) came into being by means of its own will - such was its godlike power. Then it laid a thousand eggs and populated the world with its chicken progeny.

“The most memorable moment is just all the gatherings we’ve had and just hugging thousands of people, and just really connecting with people in the most, you know, intimate way. It breaks down any kind of separation between us, you know, from famous musician to fan - that breaks down for these moments. We hug, and it becomes two people that need love. They need love but they also need to give love.”

- Boyd Tinsley (via playful-beginnings)

“Men are loners at heart. I know we pretend to be otherwise, but men are loners, they’re explorers, they’re hikers, they’re writers, they’re poets. They’re not good in groups, and that’s why it was a bad move when we were put in charge of the world; it just hasn’t worked out that well. We’re meant to be off on our own.”
