Nobody knew. I think these fellows are running around my bedroom at night preventing me from sleeping soundly. This is surely what haunts my dreams. If scientists are going to bring something back to life by cloning its DNA, this is the one to begin with. Fuck Wooly Mammoths. Where would you put them? Whoever brings this one back is going to make a fortune. Every kid will want one. I'll bet they'd make a mess, though.
I have to make decisions that I don't want to make today. I will probably let circumstances make them for me. I am like that too often. Flip a coin. Take a chance. Let's see where things end up. I can't even tell you what I would like to do. Sleep, maybe, that is all. I am lazy and ambitious. I push myself too hard and then do nothing. There. Now I have made my dating profile. Let's see how that works.
