Lyrics to the Song About My Hair

Posted on 21 February 2013 by Zack M. Davis

My partner should object
Except she really doesn't care

I stare, in the mirror
Half-paralyzed in fear
My partner should object
Except she really doesn't care

Posted on 19 February 2013 by Zack M. Davis

Growing Up

Posted on 14 February 2013 by Zack M. Davis

"I miss being a human."

"You miss it? What do you think you are now?"

"A crude, slow, bug-ridden implementation of general intelligence patched into a human brain."
