Friends come and go but 200lbs is always 200lbs.

I don't really think about the audience much. I think of myself. Let me dig myself out of that one.

My whole access into culture was violent. Violence is something I understand. Don't like it, don't condone it, but I sure understand where it comes from.

I read a bit of Ray Bradbury when I was a younger man. I don't read a lot of fiction anymore... like, none.

All I have is me. Over-worked, under-appreciated, middle-aged, and shriveled up.

I believe in North, South, East, West, The seasons, life and death, geography. That which is provable, absolute and most of all, functional. I believe in things that can kill me.

People will remember that the Tea Party was co-opted and funded by billion-dollar corporations, and that it was supported by Fox News and other outlets with the same vigor with which they attempt to denigrate the Occupy protesters.
