The mask serves as an instigation to adopt a less cynical approach to life and open oneself up to the possibility of idealism and everyday enchantment. The shape of the head is based on the Cretan hound dog and illustrations of dogs on Ancient Greek urns, referencing ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes of Sinope who took on the nickname of “the dog” because of his rejection of man’s approach to life.

Text: Stand up with good posture. Date someone with small hands. Jelqing involves movements similar to milking your penis to increase the amount of blood which fills corpora cavernosa. Work yourself up into a semi-erect (tumescent) state. Create a ring around the penis with your thumb and middle finger. Starting at the pelvis side of the shaft, slightly tighten the finger rind and draw it out toward the head (glans penis). This will put the blood towards the head and make it extremely hard and full. Hold, then pull slowly away from you. Sit on a tennis ball placed in between the scrotum and the anus. Contract the anus for three minutes in ten second intervals. Sit on the edge of a chair. Make your penis fully erect. Hang a small towel over the penis and contract the muscles to make the erection stand up against the resistance. Apply androstene or testosterone cream to the shaft and head of the penis. Shave or trim the pubic hair. If you're carrying extra weight then try and lose some of it. Take a long hot shower before sex. There are rings on the market that men can use to maintain erections longer. It is critical when using a constriction ring that you do it correctly. Be sure to follow the directions to the letter. Don't look down at your penis. Instead, look at it in the mirror.

Tells the story of the time I met and spoke with a man who may or may not have been Jesus Christ. Interacting with this stranger quickly became intimate and wonderful and left me with a sense of enchantment, something I rarely feel after a bus ride. Although nothing was ever spoken about the possibility of him being the son of God, after our brief conversation I began dissecting what he had said to me, looking for meaning in his words as being coded messages from God on strategies to live one's life.
