Books:
"You wanted an explanation, an ending that would assign blame and dish up justice. You considered violence and you considered reconciliation. But what you were left with is a premonition of the way your life will fade behind you, like a book you have read too quickly, leaving a dwindling trail of images and emotions, until all you can remember is a name"Jay McInerney "Bright Lights, Big City"

BANKSY, Steve Zissou, Gary Larson, Frida Kahlo, Bill Hicks and the Dude. Always.
