What
is my destiny?
I came into the world with such promise and hope.
 
I came
into the world after being carried by my mother for six and a
half months, weighing in at a meager five pounds. In actuality,
I was the U.S.S Starship Vincent Lazarus Chimera, carbon- based
vessel of basic primate design, simultaneously blessed and
cursed with a tribunal bio-computer commonly known by most Homo
sapiens as a brain.
The
U.S.S. Vincent Lazarus Chimera was designed from a merging of
selfish DNA, the direct result of a willing union between the
U.S.S. Vincenzo and U.S.S Faye.
More
accurately, large numbers of my father’s DNA jumped ship by the
hundreds of millions… the sperm, rushing forward like a phalanx
of PT boats toward her ambassador egg. They were compelled by
the siren song of her DNA, and each one of the millions had the
clear intention of individual victory, to give their all towards
the flowering of a life unfettered.
Trial
runs began for the U.S.S. Faye two years prior, in preparation
for this merger. Their design called for the dropping of one
ambassador egg per month. The merger would occur at the end of
this two-year period when the very best egg was finally
dropped.
I was
subsequently produced.
In
anticipation of this day, the multitude of sperm created a
boiling furor in my father’s testicles for weeks. The gleeful
gathering of these DNA emissaries, waiting restlessly at the
gates, resembled thoroughbred horses at The Kentucky Derby.
The
resultant combination of overcrowding and excitement created a
pressure-cooker atmosphere at the launching berths of my
father’s testicles; the slightest accidental stimulation or
environmental cue threatened to blow the mission prematurely.
The
DNA controlling the U.S.S Vincenzo had been planning this moment
since his production, or birth. The millions of sperm within
this intrepid battleship shot from the starting line at the
seminiferous tubules, zipped down the straight tubules into the
rete testis and through the efferent ductules.
From
there, they whirled down around the epididymis, looping into the
vas deferens and into the final evacuation chute -- the urethra.
Optimal levels of lubricant had been added along the way from
the cooper’s gland and the prostate.
Yet,
casualties were still high in the sperm boats as they rushed on
toward the promise land. Millions slowed, lagged, and died. It
was an exemplary demonstration of survival of (only) the
fittest.
Eventually, the majority of the speeding DNA made it’s way out
of the U.S.S Vincenzo. The pre-planned ballistics and trajectory
of the free-falling sperm insured the success of their mission.
In comparison, their heroic journeys made the arduous trek of a
salmon run seem like a walk around the block. It became
apparent rather quickly to the third of the frantic sperm, which
were bringing up the rear that those in the forefront were
clearly carriers of the alpha DNA...the stuff of legends. The
second wave of sperm, acknowledging this fact, arranged
themselves in brilliant blocking patterns to keep even less
worthy DNA from accidentally making it to the frontlines to
besiege the walls of the prize egg. This insured that only the
best of the best had a chance to breach the walls.
This
elite group of sperm, with their precious cargo of DNA still
intact, wrestled and pushed against every aspect of the egg's
outer hull until, finally, the very best sperm-vehicle breached
her protective armor. As the Daley Thompson or Dan O’Brian of
the sperm world entered the Sanctum Santorum of the egg, the
long awaited merger of DNA from both vessels was complete, all
set for the mean streets of life.

Merger
completed, the combined DNA from both vessels resulted in the
blueprint for me - the U.S.S. Starship Vincent L. Chimera
My
mission:
To
embark on a continuing exploration of strange new experiences...
To
seek out new realities...
To
acquire as much information as possible...
To
learn ceaselessly for the benefit of the sentient DNA (setting
up the underlying operating platform of my original
programming.)
To
boldly go where many people have gone before -- then to go
beyond and do what very few people have done before.
I have
been created for basic purposes: to spread my seed, to replicate
vessels for my DNA, and to speed up evolution by merging with
other vessels. And, perhaps, to develop a sentience that would
subsume the original programming of the U.S.S. Starship Vincent
Lazarus Chimera (i.e., to attain alpha positioning and then to
journey to our creator, the omega point.)
Certain components of my DNA imbued me with the impatience to go
out into the cosmos, and to take life by the throat. Instead of
waiting nine months, I figured, “What the hell, I don’t need to
wait. I can accomplish anything.” Something inside me thought I
was ready to captain this vessel. So I ignored normal protocol
and I left my mother’s womb prematurely.
I have
paid for my hubris. My premature launching into this world had a
negative affect on my eyes, almost to the point of legal
blindness. Another negative affect from my early arrogance was
that my lungs would be sensitive to bronchial infections and
breathing difficulties throughout my mission.
So,
there I was, as I have already mentioned – a carbon-based vessel
with a basic primate design. As my parent vessels looked down on
me, I lay in the incubator… My damaged eyes squinting from the
bright lights, narrowed by the effort of gathering visual data
for my bio-computer to assimilate and process for my masters -
my selfish DNA.
I was
small, dark, and squiggly… and oddly proportioned, with very
chubby cheeks and a rather mole-like appearance. I looked as if
a Moroccan fez would have been appropriate for my head.
My
parents told me that when my father laid eyes on me for the
first time he laughed and cried out, “Holy Christ! Will you just
look at the size of his head and his cock! Ah hah hah…he takes
after me!” My dad was only referring to his own ample member--
not his skull. “Sweet Jesus, his skull and his cock are the
largest part of his body!
They
are twice the size of all the other kids’ in this room.”
Since
my father’s DNA forced him to be a self-replicating Casanova, he
put a premium on such attributes. He was, in essence, a life
support system for his penis. His main mission was simply to
gather pleasure and to dump as much of his seed as often as
possible.
Many
people would take issue with this, but it’s not his fault. His
DNA, for reasons that are vague to everyone (even him), designed
him this way. I guess the U.S.S. Vincenzo figures, “Who am I to
question the wisdom of my selfish designers?” At any rate, my
father’s perception that I would be endowed with a large member
made him proud.
Perhaps he figured this was tantamount to being heavily armed in
a dangerous world. I don’t know.
My
mother Faye put a premium on intellectual prowess, and she
thought that my large skull indicated future mental ability. She
therefore had very high expectations of seeing her son develop
into another Albert Einstein, Richard Feyman, or Dr. Jonas
Salk.
I
never lived up to either of their expectations.
As I
matured, my body grew to catch up with the size of my prominent,
puppy- large skull. Einstein, Feyman, Dr. Salk, and the porn
star Ron Jeremy had nothing to worry about. I ended up having,
like most adult men, just the typical standard issue intellect
and member.
The
DNA within my parent vessels had blessed them both with high
intelligence and wonderfully attractive exterior hulls over
strong and healthy vessels.
For
reasons I cannot understand, my DNA designed my vessel with an
exterior shell and inner operating system that was painfully
average in every manner. I am sure that my parent’s merged DNA
had good reason for designing me this way…
However, the reasoning still eludes me and sometimes
causes me anguish.
Sometimes I wonder if my DNA did design me to have as great or
greater intelligence than both of my parent vessels. Perhaps,
because of my early hubris, I ended up with a standard issue
intellect. There are many volumes of research that demonstrate
abnormalities suffered when human primate vessels are launched
too early.
These abnormalities usually affect the eyes, the lungs, and the
nervous system. Science has also shown that the more premature
the launch, the higher the likelihood of abnormalities and the
more severe the abnormalities experienced. In fact, to my great
dismay, there is evidence that the earlier a primate vessel is
launched, the greater the likelihood for brain damage and
decreased intelligence.
A primate vessel initially designed to have a 160 I.Q could, in
fact, become damaged in such subtle ways as to disable the
bio-computer, causing it to operate at a much lesser level. The
diminishment of intelligence rises exponentially in relation to
the pre-maturity of the birth.
Perhaps damage incurred at this time is the core reason for many
of the unusual perceptual experiences I have had later in life.
I wish
I had the patience to wait nine months in the construction
dock of my mother’s womb. I guess the old saying, that it takes
longer to become the best, holds true.
Yet,
aside from the shortcomings of having a painfully average
intellect and being a touch cosmetically challenged, my DNA
designers did bless the U.S.S. Starship Vincent Lazarus Chimera
with some optimal performance features. Not that they are
readily apparent, most other primates would not see them if they
passed me on the showroom floor.
My
lackluster cosmetic exterior does not indicate, “What’s under
the hood,” if you will, or what I have deep in the bowels of
Engineering.
At
puberty, my designers endowed this smaller than average vessel
with the ability to perform various functions with greater
speed, strength, endurance, and agility than many primate
starships whose basic designs seemed to have been constructed
for just those purposes.
The
U.S.S. Starship Vincent L. Chimera was created for durability…
and is an extraordinarily fuel-efficient, multi-purposed,
practically all terrain vessel. It is also built for pleasure,
and requires far less care and maintenance than most other
primate vessels. Despite the average exterior and standard issue
attachments, this vessel generally insures that merging with
other vessels for the exchanging of DNA will give them a ride
they will not soon forget.
Whether my average intellectual capacity is due to intentional
design or damage, my designers have seen fit to install
operating programs within my bio-computer that seem to have
survived my early arrogance. These operating programs seem to be
lacking in the majority of other primate vessels that I have
encountered during my mission.
Most other primate vessels do not enjoy, as I do, the benefits
of the prime directives installed in my hardwiring.
Programs similar to mine are installed in the U.S.S. Starship
Robert F. Kennedy, the U.S.S. Starship John F. Kennedy, the
U.S.S. Starship George Bernard Shaw, the U.S.S. Starship Teddy
Roosevelt, the U.S.S. Starship Phoenix (a friend and fellow
seeker), and a few notable others. While these programs make me
acknowledge that most primate vessels look at things as they are
and ask, “Why?” they, conversely, compel me dream of things that
never were, and ask, “Why not?” My installed programs lead me
to understand that those who dare to fail miserably can achieve
greatly; that is to say, the reasonable primate adapts himself
to the world, but the unreasonable primate persists in trying to
adapt the cosmos to him. Therefore, all progress depends on the
unreasonable primate.
Even
my own average intellect is able to understand that if you keep
on doing what you’ve been doing, you’re going to keep on getting
what you’ve been getting.
But,
my DNA has installed an underlying operating platform. Thus,
when I unfortunately (yet frequently) encounter illogical
behavior, my bio-computer cries out, “Illegal Operation,” or “A
Fatal Error has occurred.” My bio-computer then crashes and
automatically reboots. It seems to do this much more often than
primate vessels that possess better than average superficial
operating systems.
My
underlying operating platform and peripheral operating systems
compel me to go through life trying to attack and solve problems
in the same manner as my father’s single successful sperm
vessel…by repetitively pushing and bumping my head against
obstacles with an almost autistic devotion until the hull has
been breached. Perhaps one day the same hardheaded persistence
will be the death of me.
I feel
blessed but perplexed that my designers would endow me with
certain extreme physical blessings… installing remarkable and
powerful operating systems, with their concomitant peripheral
wetware, without endowing me with the cosmetic beauty,
intelligence, or charisma possessed by other special Starship
primates. (For example, Kennedy, Roosevelt, Lincoln, Colin
Powell, Anthony Robbins, George Bernard Shaw, Gandhi, and
Phoenix.) It would make things much easier for me, and far more
productive for my journey, as I speed through time and space on
the mission that my DNA designers demand.
These
demanding designers and God endowed me with such powerful gifts
that perhaps my other shortcomings and flaws were purposely
installed to insure that I would understand pain and humility.
(And boy, have I). Perhaps such a combination serves to forge a
novel type of vessel rarely seen in the cosmos.
Perhaps I am just jerking myself off and I am a product of some
unfortunate cluster-fuck engineering. That is, the kind of
engineering which may allow me to get close to the sun, only to
have my wings melt…thus falling and flaming back to earth,
towards my own destruction.
Time will tell.
Destiny waits.
I Struggled for
Years With My Drives
I spent years struggling with my drives and my Penis…literally,
as well as figuratively.
And because of this… after much thought, I decided to do what I
had originally sworn I wouldn’t do in this book, (i.e., that I
was not going to discuss issues dealing with sex or sexual
endowment, especially my own). However, after cogitating
furiously over the matter, I realized that, as human primates,
sex and both our necessary and unnecessary obsessions with sex
have a lot to do with what is good in the world and what is
horribly wrong.
It has been said that more murder, thievery, and evil have been
done by men with the purpose of keeping a wife and raising
children (for a socially acceptable primary purpose of having
sex), than has been perpetrated by men interested of simply
pursuing directly the intoxication of drink and the attention of
whores.
I have
noticed that people are obsessed with sexual and physical
attributes,
(Me
included), and our society puts a premium on physical
performance. The latter, of course, gives these attributes
greater weight as social and sexual currency. I think that their
over-emphasis, as an end rather than as a means to an end, has
caused much human misery. I have fought to overcome my own
obsessions, drives, and weaknesses. It has been a long battle. I
still have far to go.
