The Rule of Ten / Die Regel der Zehn / A regra dos Dez / La regla de los Diez
There is sex that I regret. There is sex that I am ashamed of. There is sex that was beyond all my wildest dreams. But most of all there is sex that I do not remember. Scattered fragments of nights that I can just about vaguely rememeber - the aftermath of a drunken rave party, coming ...

Mans best-friend is forced to live in dreadful conditions, denied Love and space to exhibit natural behaviours. They will never see sunshine or grass, a bed, a treat, or a toy.

Longing for Childhood / Sehnsucht nach Kindheit / Saudade da Infância / Anhelo de la Infancia
The past is as elusive a dream as the future. Always distorted. Always yearned for. Always seen as better days. It keeps you from the truth of the present and the pain of reality.

You are no longer living your life. Life has become something outside of yourself. You are disconnected from life and living. You do not choose a life, you live one. Life is a noun, it only refers to one point in time: your life right now. But truly being alive is not a static. Life does ...
It’s already too Late / Es ist schon zu Spät / Já é tarde Demais / Ya es demasiado Tarde
Humanity is quickly moving toward a man-machine hybridization. Humans are becoming cyborgs as they grow ever more dependent on technology. Humans actually are already part cyborgs.
