I play some guitar, I read books, when I have the ambition for it I am writing, I am always stressing or bitching about class stratification, while others walk fences I find myself only walking the thin line between insanity and genius, sometimes I have to resort to using a few ad hominem attacks, and I never did find a drug that could kill all of the heartbreak, anxiety and perpetual discontent I always seem to be feeling.
folks who blow, drink beer, boil water and handle grease fires like it is nothing.
