"the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, who burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the sky" (jack kerouac, on the road). POSERS, BORING FOLK, PEOPLE PRACTICING DISHONESTY AND STUPID BOYS need not apply

my dad, hands down.walt whitman still is, too. he writes cool stuff like, "this is what you shall do: love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, ARGUE NOT CONCERNING GOD, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air of every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem..." woah
