I'm sad to see the passing of the great drug warriors. I certainly did my part in that battle and I don't regret any of it.

I'm proud to be part of a generation where reading is a 'look.'

It may have lost its special-ness forever and the clubs might not being doing well but I think standup is in the best shape it has been in a long time.

I think sharing experience makes everything better. When people get talking about how they've overcome something or how they haven't, it's nourishing.

I'm just saying, 'Hey, throw me a bone. How about a smile, cute t-shirt? Look at me.' Nothing - unless it's a turn to their friends to go, 'Hey, why is that weird guy looking at us?'

Is there any indication we shouldn't be depressed - are you living on the same planet that I am? Do you ever think that depression might be the reasonable human response to the crap we're going through as a species, meant to propel us into the next evolutionary step, or at least into taking some different course of action so we might survive? Do you ever think that maybe it's the happy people that are really screwed up in the head?

I'm not completely sure we aren't all living in a hallucination now.
