This song is a bedtime story about bufotenin, a psychoactive found in the cane toad, Bufo marinus, species of frog in the South America. I do not recommend licking animals that produce, venomous, psychoactive substances because it tends to produce abnormal, drug induced, thought processes while negatively affecting one’s biochemistry, but this song contains an…

1000 Paper Cranes
Love makes us brave in the face of death.
Motivation
The important thing is to strive towards a goal which is not immediately visible. That goal is not the concern of the mind, but of the spirit. -Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Flight to Arras, 1942. Look to God in heaven. With the help of the church, you can not go wrong in the end if you…
Alive In Neglect Imaginarium
Being not ugly is not the same as being beautiful. Being not stupid is not the same as being smart. Someone who believes they are not so many things needs the miracle of forgiveness, as we all do, for what we are not. A healthy relationship cannot exist only on the premise of what we…

You can look up articles in various databases such as PubMed and PubChem. You can mine the genome using a BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) search, and you can get information about how…

During the winter the trees are at rest and live off of the food that they have stored up during the summer. Some of the colors seen in leaves such as orange and yellow had been there all…
