Preface

At this point in my life I plan to tell you where I've been which is odd since I have been nowhere except places. I've been here and there and learned a few things but I think I should go to those spaces. Those holes in the walls and gaps in my mind and human secrets, hidden beneath the web of society. Beneath that veil are the open eyes of the human experience, and they summon me.  Every morning they look at me and I ask myself if it is finally my time to feel wholefully disenchanted.  I feel as though maybe but...

Buddha and Gandhi and Guru Nanak were at the highlight of their lives when they looked at the world with angry questioning eyes and became fixed on changing it. Malcolm X and Tupac, rather, spun the world around from the bottom-up from their darkest hours.  Me, I'm at the equator, I could go either way from today. From here, I don't know if I can spin the world for better or worse but I think I should start by spinning it backwards.  I need to dive into the annals of human history to see whom it is that I am truly dealing with here.  Who we are starts with who I am, and that's the idea that prompted this work. 

This has been written out of humble adolescence. It is not a guidebook, words to live by or anything normative. This thing right here is a description of the special ideas of regular people.  I wrote it today to get it out while I stilk remember what it feels like to be regular.
