You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else.

If you worry about disaster all the time, that's what you're going to get.

More and more we are taught something throughout our growing up, our education, and continuously, no matter how much we believe in this thing, something comes up that forces us to revise our entire belief system. No matter whom you idolize, it turns out that Louis Armstrong collected vast amounts of pornography.

It's all mirror, mirror on the wall because beauty is power the same way money is power the same way a gun is power.

We can spend our lives letting the world tell us who we are. Sane or insane. Saints or sex addicts. Heroes or victims. Letting history tell us how good or bad we are. Letting our past decide our future. Or we can decide for ourselves. And maybe it's our job to invent something better.

Sometimes you do something, and you get screwed. Sometimes it's the things you don't do, and you get screwed.

I disconnect the telephone to keep the outside world in it's correct place.
