you should never, never doubt what nobody
is sure about
non-pollutionary, anti-institutionary, pro-confectionery factory of fun
the optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the
pessimist fears this is true
what we need are strong, straightforward,
precise works which will be forever misunderstood
what do you need a fake I.D. for?
so I can vote!
times flies like an arrow. fruit flies like a banana.
music expresses that which cannot be said
and on which it is impossible to be silent
vegetables are more serious than men and more sensitive to frost
what came first, the music or the misery? people worry about kids playing with
guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will
take them over. nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally
thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. did I

communism was just a red herring
nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate
insanity runs in my family... it

you cannot count on anyone except yourself. it's sad, but true, and the sooner you learn it, the better
as far as I can make out, 'edgy' occurs when middle-brow,
middle-aged profiteers are looking to suck the energy, not to mention spending
money out of the quote unquote 'youth culture'. So they come up with this fake

politics is often just show business for ugly people
i'm learning real skills that I can apply throughout the rest of my life...procrastinating and rationalizing

but if you close the door, i'd never have to see the day again.
nerds usually harness their obsessive knowledge mongering to a useful end, like improving technology or making money. geeks, though, they pour an endless fascination with the world into purposefully constricting channels, like collecting records or learning klingon or building a scale model of 1920s new york with toothpicks. dorks have nothing in common with them but basic social ineptitude.
what state do you live in?

you know how someone's appearance can change the moment you know them? how a really attractive person, if you don't like them, can become more and more ugly; whereas someone you might not have even have noticed... that you wouldn't look at more than once, if you love them, can become the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?
to lose one's self in reverie, one must be either very happy, or very unhappy. reverie is the child of extremes.
