Writing, talking about writing, not actually writing at all.Sitting is always fun.Hurting friends with just my words is always pleasant.Writing obscene childrens songs is a new hobby.
Anyone who is isn't an intolerant fuck. . .I despise intolerance. . .especially today for some reason. So all you open minded people ... DANCE!Well, I'm all about hating white dudes though ...I like people who are blunt. If you have something bad to say, say it. If you have something good to say, say it. People today want everyone to love them way too much. The world needs honesty sometimes. So tell the world what you think ... Trust me, I've heard worse.Oh, and if I could meet someone who could treat me a tenth as well as I treat everyone else, that would be kind of nice ... I'll whore away, whore away! ..."Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suite of armor, so that nothing can hurt you,then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person wanders into your life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should just be friends' turns into a glass splinter working it's way into your heart. It hurt's. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul- hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love." ~Neil Gaiman~If anyone knows what this video is referencing you are old enough to be my friend. Which means most of my friends won't get it.

Redneck children who fall down wells. The original Broadway cast of Annie. Bruce Jenner. My cat Misty. My smaller, younger, less brown cat Silvie. 21 year old virgins. People with the strength to put up with me and whatnot. People strong enough to turn down my drunken ovatures. People who play hopscotch professionally. People with will power. Anyone who can make me smile. And of course Karlos, who threatens to kick my ass daily, as well as other more profane threats. Ted Williams. Dr. Dre. John Frusciante. H Jon Benjamin. Anyone who is a genius, a real genius, at whatever they do. Because I'm just some dumb guy.
