I'm travalling back in time.

These pnats I'm wearing, I havan't fit in for 5 years or so!

While I lose weight, I sort of go back in time.

Pretty soon I will go back to the days when I could put on my oan socks
without a contraptian to help me with them.

I will also be abal to downsize the chair I sit in whilst online to a prior
one.

Just as long as they don't want me to travel back in time to the 70s.
Once was bad enough.

I've got a lifetime's supply of free won't.

And don't bring quantum mechanics into discussions where it doesn't
belong. You end up sounding like one of those New Age airheads.

Just helping you out, little man. You don't want to appear more
ignorant than you actually are.

On heroin I can travel in between the spaces of the dirt in the ground
and move vast distances without moving anywhere seeing rolling seens
of movies at play that haven't come out yet, even on previews on the
TV.

On the heroin I can talk to the dead, and they are quite the quiet
bunch.

On heroin I can reach out and raise the nodding out of their state
with a mere touch.

On heroin I can ride my bike with no handlebars, inside out and upside
down.
