I will probably upload eventually, but along the way I expect to: - cure my MS and repair the damage it's done - replace my vocal chords with more flexible and pure-toned ones (I love to sing) -- including a much wider range - set up my musculature and motor cortex so I can dance (another of my favorite activities) the way I imagine - greatly increase my endurance - replace all my bones with diamondoid fibers or other synthetics - replace my eyes and visual cortex with ones that can process a much wider spectrum - replace my ears and auditory cortex with ones that can process a much wider spectrum - park a nanobot in every cell of my body to check for and repair damage, flush waste products, etc. - upgrade the wiring in my brain to greatly speed up its functioning - add a computer interface -- maybe a brain-to-brain interface -- and extra memory - replace my skin with more durable material, probably with selectable color and design, that can tolerate a much greater temperature range I could probably think of more if it weren't 6 AM. I've got to get some sleep soon. Oh yeah -- - set myself up so sleeping was no longer required - and eating - and excreting - and breathing - and dying When in there did I stop being human? Like I'd care. As far as I'm concerned, I'd still be me, which is what matters in my book. Live long and prosper, Kennita -- Kennita Watson | Check your receipt!
