Are You The Same Enough To Be Different?

Humans have a hard time perceiving differences between one thing and another unless they are mostly the same. 

How much difference is there between:

Coke and Pepsi?
Sprite and 7up?
Ford and Chevy?
Forks and Spoons?
Dogs and Cats?
Star Wars and Star Trek?
Blondes and Brunettes?
Los Angeles and New York?
Mac OS and Windows?
Community Radio and Commercial Radio?
Republican and Democrat?
Condenser and Dynamic?
Lakers and Celtics?
Serif and Sans Serif?
Gibson and Fender?
Heterosexual and Homosexual?
Angels and Demons?
AM and FM?
English and Spanish?
Vegetarian and Carnivore?
McDonalds and Burger King?
Islam and Christianity?
Ketchup and Mustard?
DVD and Blu-Ray?
Yin and Yang?
White Wine and Red Wine?
Socialist and Capitalist?
Coffee and Tea?
Men and Women?
Rich and Poor?

Not much. Their fundamental sameness makes all the difference!

“I happen to have been privileged enough to be in on the fact that we’ve been visited on this planet and the UFO phenomena is real,” Dr Mitchell said.

“It’s been well covered up by all our governments for the last 60 years or so, but slowly it’s leaked out and some of us have been privileged to have been briefed on some of it.

This is a video of Behold… The Arctopus performing live at Knitting Factory NYC on Oct 23 2005.

Take note of the following elements:

• The asymmetrical rhythmic patterns and counterpointilism. They do not hold down a steady pulse in the shape of a square. They are much like an amoeba. 
• The “through-composed” form — it does not repeat in a standard verse / chorus sequence.
• The guitarist does not use an over-saturated distortion like Dr. Zoltan does.

This butler of text must the apologize, for the chasm in text availability. Is busy as woodpecker with badger wife! Complications of relationship, life of author no consequence to reader. Continue!

News of returning Dr. Øbelisk is sunlight to darkness: Flagstaff. Retrieval, fact mission of finding! I ask, which state terminus? He answer: Show Me! How bold is consequence. It is not State of Union, instead State of Brain. To march into unquestioning, transportation of paragon of caninity. Fetch!

It is harsh face this author puts on, as leaving Hiatus duty, poorly handled. Next assigned-ment of grant, travel to where wind turns around to come back. Reporting of War on Fun: Is no fun. Always belong to estate,

Continuing the mystery of communication! Unmistakably Dr. Øbelisk but also unmistakably mistakable, a latest missive of knowledge is saying: I am in OK city. Laughing! Of course he is in OK city! Is not city of danger, as I changed the pages of A-A-A navigational aid on departure. No urbanity of treason along Dr. Øbelisk’s path, I am reassuring. He is mentioned the visiting of location for “OK Bomb” — unsure of purpose of nominal correctness armament, but certainly there will be an intelligence collection for description.

Fact: Dr. Øbelisk is having recommendation. Urbanity of Flagstaff is of “very lively and hip, full of energy.” As interrogation of locals is undressing, many interesting activity. Locality to Enormous Chasm convenient! “HalllllooooooO! (alo, alo, alo).” Chuckling is.

A fondness of memory, of Dr. Øbelisk performing download on needles. Is text message, collection of letters which are buttons to be pressed. Some once. Others — twice! Thrice! Legend of ‘z’ which is Quadratic. Long process but yielding short information. Confusing to be greater than amusing, like chicken on leash.

But! Received fragmentary telephonic this morning. Stratified in traffic noise and “you done with payphone” Americanisms, was encoded conversation. Dr. Øbelisk present in Boo-Qwer-Key, urbanity of provenance not known. Google Maps laugh at Hrvst, as he is wearing orange hat. Ha! If readers know location of Boo-Qwer-Key, please be informing publication this.
