ok, so wait a minute. hold the motherfuckin phone 4 a minute, just chill. this is some grade A, serious, government inspected shit. and that's this motherfuckin idea that u create ur own reality, and i have to say that even crystalbrain is smart enough to know that in the 1980s, the 1990s, the 2000s, and shit liek that, this meant u CREATE UR OWN AIDS. becuz lets put our stinking thinking caps on 4 a second. what is the first thing, after u've smoked a big rock of crack cocaine and ur really confident as fuck and u swallowed some new age shit about creating ur own reality, what is teh first thing ur going 2 do? ur going to stick ur dick into some orifice without a condom on. and unfortunately my friends, even with super ultra multiverse interdimensional powers, i'm not gonna stop u from gettin' HIV INFECTED if u do this.
one point of contention i had with reagan is that he thought it was cool 4 ppl 2 get AIDS, and as i smoked huge rocks of crack with him i sort of had a debate with him, a real heart-2-heart, and he was of teh opinion that the solution 2 overpopulation was 2 just not give a fuck about AIDS. and me, i thought about this and decided that even for me, this point of view was 2 fucked up and i just sorta looked at my lighter and said "let's talk about somethin else" with reagan as he fondled my balls. and so i just took probably the biggest hit of crack of my life becuz i just wanted 2 cry 4 teh fact that u couldn't have unprotected sex with ppl anymore without risking getting ur ass killed by this AIDS bullshit.
now this picture, i know what ur thinking…its evocative of some serious shit, liek a metaphysical conspiracy, but that's what this shit really was. i mean the metaphysics were bullshiet but that's the point, u believe in bullshit, and these beliefs are problematic as fuck becuz they can get u AIDS. so maybe just have a moment of silence with urself, just put teh crackpipe down and decide which side ur on: do u want ppl 2 get AIDS, or do u think that's fucked up? becuz with reagan, even though he was my crack-smoking buddy and bought me cool things liek a japanese famicom tv by sharp, i decided i was on teh side that said gettin AIDS is fucked up, and giving ppl AIDS through bullshitting them is fucked up too.
in teh picture there is a T-Cell, and u fuckin need these 2 survive i guess. but this occult bullshit, its liek upside down jesus, which is dumb right side up or upside down, but its got a inverse pentagram over it which signifies matter ruling over consciousness or 2 put it a different way: thinking with ur dick. anyways this is some seriously dark shit, so maek sure ur selective with who u do the nasty with.
Formless Beasts Three.
I spent so much time looking at this piece that I think my face and brain came to resemble these poor consumed things.
