O3 👶 VIDEO (road not taken)
[the teenager in the video is wearing a green beanie. it must be new because there's still a price tag poking out behind his left ear. he beams at the camera with the slightly choreographed but earnest good nature of a closet introvert on his first day of school.
his eyes are slightly small, a telltale sign for those who fraternitize with potheads.]
Hi! I'm Joe. I guess I must have like, retrograde amnesia or something because I found this folder of brochures and stuff about a Porter and superheroes and nanomachines and whatever but I don't remember any of it from before? Anyway I just have a couple questions.
Number one. My neighbor is eleven and he told me their classroom pet just died, and I told the school I'm going to get them new ones. Then I started to think about, you know, the ethics of making animals that don't need to eat or poo. I mean, I'm not super religious, Darwinism seems kinda accurate, and even though I'm a vegan but I get that cows were just way too small for the industry before we had breeds. Mankind has been messing around with genetics for a long time. But it seems like a slippery slope, right? When does messing with life itself turn into like-- the crippling hubris that comes with the presumption of human convenience? Will Mother Nature fight back? Does the balance correct itself? You know? And is it important for eleven-year-olds to learn about cleaning poop? And if someone like, hypothetically... [he pauses with the subtlety of a bsod.] got a bird that doesn't eat or poopoo, and they decided it was unethical to give it to fifth graders, what should he do with it? And before anyone asks, it has a butthole and a mouth hole.
Okay. [he sucks in air as if he'd started to run out partway through that ramble (probably).] Okay. My other question is, does anyone else want to do a juice cleanse? Because I guess I was doing some kind of messed up diet. I lost twenty pounds and had like three hundred pills in my cabinet, but I feel super bloated and gross. Right now, I'm seriously even willing to consider wheatgrass or cod oil even though I usually can't stand the taste of fishy burps. And, you know, vegan. I could use a diet buddy. Or a group. I'm into groups. But not yoga or weights or meditation.
Hiking, I love hiking. And four-wheeling. If anyone sees an olive colored ATV with a 1984 sticker around, that's mine.
Okay get back to me. Later! [he waves enthusiastically at the camera, then hangs up.]

What do you know about happy? What's anyone know?
no subject
Like when you're doing something you love, and even just thinkin' about it brings the feeling back. Or when you see something really beautiful. I mean not just sex beautiful, but sometimes that too. If you have enough of that in your life, I think, you can be happy a lot of the time.
no subject
Seriously, are you messing with me?
no subject
That... would-- why would you even ask that? Oh my God. Never mind. Apparently there's a lot of this crap going around right now. [he wipes his face with his hands.]
I think I'm gonna be sick. Are you OK?
no subject
I mean, I guess. Same as I usually am. [ He pauses warily. Kavinsky's reaction is unnerving him, like, just a little. ] Maybe you should take it kind of easy though, dude. Like, um, I'm not in a hurry to check out the pills if you need to lie down for a while or whatever.

[he sighs, puffing his cheeks out.] Catch you later, uhh..........
[did reggie say his name? joey doesn't think so, but he pauses, discomfitted with the possibility of his own rudeness.]
no subject
[ It's almost hissed, but then he eases again and adds: ]
Yeah, catch you later. Just don't do anything too stupid.
