His headlining rock band has jumped town, leaving him with an arena full of angry concertgoers. And this was going to be his big break. If he could have pulled this show together, his career would have been made. Now heâ€™s going to end up working at a McDonalds until the day he retires and/or blows his brains out. So, Skip tries his best to smooth things over with the angry crowd. Right before they decide to tear him limb from limb, guess what happensâ€¦. thatâ€™s right, the Madballs spaceship crash lands right in the middle of the stage. Of all the dumb luck. The Madballs are thrown from the ship and land right behind their designated instruments. So what do they do? They start to play Great Balls of Fire. A normal person would have gone to the hospital to get checked out after crashing their spaceship. Not the Madballs. Thatâ€™s dedicationâ€¦. to really shitty oldies music.

Regeneration is a form
of tissue repair; the restoration
of lost or damaged tissues,
organs or limbs. Aside from
being used to generally
describe any number of
specific healing processes,
regeneration also is
a specific method of healing
that is noted for its ability
to regrow lost limbs,
severed nerve connections,
and other wounds.

It can be seen in the organisms of planaria and starfish.

Regeneration of a lost limb
occurs in two major steps,
first de-differentiation
of adult cells into a stem
cell state similar to embryonic
cells and second, development
of these cells into new tissue
more or less the same
way it developed the first time [7].

Human ribs can regenerate
if the periosteum, the membrane
surrounding the rib, is left intact.
For this reason, ribs are used
as a source of bone
in reconstructive surgery.

The Human Liver is one
of the few glands in
the body that has the ability
to regenerate from
as little as 25%
of its tissue.
This is largely due
to the unipotency
of hepatocytes.

Hepatocytes make up
60-80% of the cytoplasmic
mass of the liver.
These cells are involved
in protein synthesis,
protein storage
and transformation
of carbohydrates,
synthesis of cholesterol,
bile salts and phospholipids,
and detoxification,
modification and excretion
of exogenous and endogenous
substances. The hepatocyte
also initiates the formation
and secretion of bile.

Like Walt Whitman pinching vegetables at the market
Like Blake finding eternity in an hour, or Heaven in a flower
If we slow time down we can find the most exquisite experiences in the moment.

yeah, but how to share
the depth of the experience
through more than one conduit...
reunifying the shards of human
understanding that may or may
not have been shattered
by a god Consiousness...
seems more of a challenge
than all the kings horses
and men had with that
egg fellow...

I am thinking that Love is when you shout your truths at the corner, even though you know noone is there.
Art is when you shout your truths and you think there might be others listening.

shouting is shouting, and is useful only so far as it is useful...

how many different ways can you think of using shouting?

here's a few to considder:

As a child,i used to walk in downtown LA a lot with my father, and I remember seeing this one crazy, old homeless guy that would stand at this intersection everyday shouting and smiling at everyone "Hello there! How are you! You have a great day etc".
To me it looked like he was in love with the world!
It wasn't art, though, cause he knew noone was listening.

Is it not art when there are no spectators?

I'm following a hunch.
