About Me

"The Revolution evaporates, & leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy. The chains of tormented mankind are made out of red tape."
-- Franz Kafka "The Only Church That Illuminates Is A Burning Church."
--Buenaventura Durruti I am going to burn down the world
I am going to tear down everything that cannot stand alone
I am going to shove hope up your ass
I am going to turn ideals to shit
I am going to reduce everything that stands to rubble
and then I am going to burn the rubble
and then I am going to scatter the ashes
and then maybe someone will be able to see something as it really is
Watch Out
-- Mel Lyman "Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
-- Noah Webster "This, however, is a passing nightmare; in time the earth will become again incapable of supporting life, and peace will return."
--Bertrand Russell

Attention motorists.

When you scream things at me while I am on my bicycle, I cannot understand what you are saying (due to the doppler effect, or something.) At most I can catch one word. Thus, I am forced to use some in...

Then take the next three days off work. If they ask, tell 'em you took the 16- they'll understand. If they don't ask, take a note of it, and remind yourself to call in sick more often. But the sweet ...
