About Me

Favorite material items:
-my cane
-my hat
-my egg
-my pa's picture
-my drums
-a picture from Mallory
-clocks
Goals:
-to understand homelessness
-to understand insanity
-to understand uncertainty
-to understand euphoric contention
-to understand death
The only way we understand anything is to experience it, is to merge with it, is to become what it is that we are trying to comprehend. Without expierence, comprehension is a farce.
Current tidbit thoughts:
-we like to think we are better then some things and it is this mindset that makes us nothing
-we are all born and we all die, and nothing in between can seperate us
-we are nothing, but we are nothing together
-total destruction breeds new beginning
-all governments fall. time-wise, America has nothing on the Roman Empire.
Favorite clever lyrics:
"Son of the widow, raised from the dead, where did his soul go, when he died again" -mwY
"You're going to find yourself, drifiting and afloat, crying out for help. With bullets in your toes, you put them there yourself" -FireWhenReady
"God loves his children, God loves his children" -Radiohead
"Someday this chalk outline will circle this city" -The Mars Volta
"We must take all of the medicinies to expensive now to sell, and set fire to the preacher who is promising us hell, and in the ear of every anarchist who sleeps but doesn't dream, we must sing, we must sing, we must sing."-Bright Eyes
"Why this safe distance? This curious look? Why tear out single pages when you can throw away the book? Why pluck one string when you can strum the guitar?" -mwY
"You want the greatest things, the greatest things since bread came sliced" -REM
"You caught me making eyes with the other boatman's wives and heard me laughing louder at the jokes told by their daughters. I'd set my course for land, but you well understand that it takes a steady hand to navigate adulterous waters" -mwY
Favorite Quotes:
"Let the world change you...and you can change the world" -Che Guevara
"If you are going through hell, keep going" -Winston Churchill
"The sweet is never as sweet without the sour" -unknown
"Get busy living or get busy dying" -Red, The Shawshank Redemption
