The fading light is us, and we are, for a moment so brief (...) beautiful.

Let's see if I can write about something other than my heart.

America should treasure its rare, true original voices and Mark Leyner is one of them. So treasure him already, you bastards!

I was really not a good student, and I felt that shame every day. That's one of the reasons I started smoking pot and drinking daily.

People always write on my Facebook that they've seen somebody they thought was me on the subway, and I was cursing badly.

My parents were constantly afraid they would lose their jobs. The idea that we were always a paycheck away from disaster was drilled into me.

That's what tyrants do, I guess. They make you covet their attention; they make you confuse attention for mercy.
