I just feel good.
I just feel gold.
I'M GOLDEN.

Total world domination is the only option for our species, a special kind of species known as the The Originalites, who's destiny is to travel through inter-galactic space and time in order to cure, heal and enlighten the souls of the universe via stupendous harmonious vibrations 
... that begin their everlasting life in our minds and then make their journey through our fingertips from which we will transfer the eternal energy to our instruments and let it spill out into this dimension we all know as the human race 
... so that pure and passionate love will spread its roots into our hearts and ears and guide us past the darkness. Eventually leading us into the light as it grows ever closer towards the SUN...
