Text: Lao Tzu narrarates - “Sirius. The Dog Star. That is where all of this begins… but we'll get to that later. Best to begin at the beginning, after all is god is dog is god is dog..."
"As an old friend told me, 'It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey (and steve perry) that matters in the end.'” (bottom of page)

Image 1 - Planet Earth in the future. View from space of apocalyptic effects on surface of the planet. Polar ice caps have melted considerably. Flooding along coastlines and rivers have altered geography dramatically. Perhaps showing changes to Americas: with southern California, NYC, and much of Florida under water. North and South America disconnected, Carribean Islands no loger there, and the Ohio and Mississippi rivers cutting the South from the North.

Image 3 - Closer view of WTW of future, Huge trailer parks with rows and rows of trailers as far as the eye can see. Large rivers crowded with boats and a large Casino/riverboat/gladiator riverside stadiums. Huge fields of hydro-grown tobacco and other plants enjoying jungle-like swamp conditions due to increased temperature and greenhouse effect. Collapse of infrastructure due to war with China and the South’s forced secession from the North.
Text - Lao Tzu “Over time things change...but change always stays the same.”

Image - View of the inside of one of the trailers/garages. The epitome of White Trash. Internet TV with image of Jerry Lee Jesus Lewis Show. A stoner (back of dreadlocked head of Jah, Bo’s sidekick and best friend) playing video games via holographic images amidst a mess of plastic soda bottles (Mountain Goo) and rolled cigarettes, on ugly couch.
Jah - speaking to a pair of legs under suped-up truck being worked on by Bo, the main character. “ ‘ey Hanumon (Jah calls Bo ‘hanumon or ‘mon - because of the monkey God), you should be in that fight.”
Sound Bite from ITV playing overhead - announcement from Jerry Lee Jesus Lewis seeking out an American defender to fight Lukang, hero of the Chinese Government, the choice for the new Dalai Lama, the top ultimate fighter in the world, Ancient fighting division, to settle once and for all who should hold the title of the superpower of the world. Only on the Jerry Lee Jesus Lewis Show Pay-Per View download. “Just as the Yin must rise to overpower the Yang and the Yang strikes out again from the darkness to penetrate the Yin, the cycle repeats itself. So get your ITV’s ready for the cosmic dance and battle of two great giants of unarmed combat. Who will be the yang that can challege the cold darkness of the champion Lukang. Is there any out there that can rise to this occasion. Send a application or come down to Sodom and Gommorrah (the name of the twin casino/arena boat) to sing up and face your destiny.”
Jah - "destiny, eh mon, I feel like this jamacian son gonna be dancing wit da C-weed. Gonna hav ta roll up a cone for dat holy roller, you know what I be getting’ at Bo?”

Image - View of front of Bo’s truck which is built from the lead car in the Kings Island roller coaster “the beast”, put together like a monster truck with a moonshine still as the fuel source. Bo is still under the truck. Jah is preparing to roll a C-Weed (mutated weed from what remains of jamaca) cone-rolled joint.

Bo -“hey if I know what your thinking, we should wait until uncle comes by, cause he won’t really like us smoking and working.”
Jah - “shit hanumon, old Tzu probably smoked from the first plant. Dat man be older than God.”
Bo- “anyway, I’ve got a better idea, let’s take a road trip when I get the beast rolling again, Uncle Lao says he wants to go to mexico to visit an old friend, and I want to check out some shamanistic practices that he says are good for fighting. You know astral projection, summoning archetypes, lucid dreaming, the old casteneda stuff.”
Jah - “mexico, eh hanumon, well I can say they still have some good pressed, rolled up in a newspaper for about the same price as a peyote coffee (peyote coffee became the drink of choice after the Indian Revolution - see the prolouge). Plus I can see the old man cold chillin in da foam club, LIT’s and all, (laughs).
Bo - "Uncle lao says we’re a little short on dough, though.”
Jah - “that’s allright mon, Mexico would be nice, Oaxaca, Acapulco, the Yucatan, all those great green places. But in the mean time, why don’t you put some of that genius IQ into my tobacco box and we can make some bread and still have something to put in our peace pipe for the trip. It’ll make all that dreaming and shaman scheming all the better.”

Jah - with the price of tobacco on da market today we can be pullin some real cash, mon.”
Bo - but if you have more than 4 plants it’s a federal crime, and the ATFBI will bust us for sure, seeing as they check up on everybody nowadays.”
Jah - "that’s why it be in stealth mode mon, we got to think of a crazy hiding place or camo or something, hide it right under there noses, what about the old mine shaft that I heard you and the geezer talking about last night.”
Bo - "yeah, that would be good, I haven’t gone to check it out yet, you’ll never guess where it is. Right under the…"
Suddenly there is a loud banging at the door, police style, Jah quickly and stealthily hides his stash and covers up the still in one crazy motion of speed and dexterity (first glimpse of kung fu training)

Jah opens the door, but stands behind it so that he won’t be seen.
