What are you looking for in a friend?
I’m inclined to believe that those who know how to laugh at themselves are always the best. Then again, right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time.
I can get along with anyone, but if you can’t converse with someone who’s opinionated, topical and frequently treading water where controversy is concerned, perhaps this won’t be your scene.
Those allowed entry into my Inner Sanctum would tell you I’m something of an “Amusement Engineer†– quirky, easy going, artistic, outgoing and witty.
Whilst others would say that I’m more like an overt Freud. Perhaps they don’t know any other intellectuals.
Yes I am a READER; so quit starting at the screen like a dog that’s just been shown a card trick. I swear some of you people, should’ve been a blowjob.
Did I mention I’ve got a dark sense of humor?
You know how there are those things that some people don’t even talk about. I’m the kind of person who somehow manages to make jokes about them and haven’t yet met a topic too sacred.
In going where few others dare venture doesn’t mean I’m twisted, just a firm believer in the old adage ‘Laughter is the best medicine.’
Nor do I make any bones about my right-wing tendencies. I can appreciate the ideals many courting the side of the left share, but not how they go about implementing them.
Conservatives are effective. They do things. All the left appear to do is buy-animal friendly mascara.
At the end of the day, until all of us start thinking for ourselves and taking responsibility for our own actions, we will always be little more than puppet people.
I joined this site because I figure in this life; everybody starts out as strangers, it’s where we end up that counts.
My passions are music, cinema and other forms of popular culture and expression.
Why not write me?
There's an IQ prerequisite, but no secret handshake.
QUOTABLES
Only two roads in this world. And if you're listening to anyone but me, you're on the wrong one.What I say is, be careful what you see in a man's eyes. Might not be the truth.
Always do business as if the person you're doing business with is trying to screw you, because they probably are. And if they're not, you can be pleasantly surprised.
If your manner of speech is any indication of the workings of your mind, then it's a wonder you can even tie your shoes.
Before you go out and change the world, you have to ask yourself, "What do you really want?"
Just remember, a good loser's still a loser.
I have died and been reborn. And I can do it again, buster.
Most human beings subscribe to this policy of "An eye for an eye, a life for a life", which is known throughout the universe for its stupidity.
The mathematical world is completely rational, uncomplicated by sex.
Study your math, kids. Key to the Universe. I'm a real person. I'm not some... goddamn... TV image!
People are frightened by what they don't understand
Sometimes we don't see certain things until we're ready to see them in a certain way.
What I want and what I need are two totally different things.
The only thing worse than a favor is a favor involving money.
Worry is like interest paid in advance on a debt that never comes due.
Fear is the equal to False Evidence Appearing Real
All guilt is relative. Loyalty counts. And never let your conscience be your guide.
Once you start compromising your thoughts, you're a candidate for mediocrity.
Anger is a gift.
Remember when you were a kid and you would spend the whole year waiting for summer vacation and when it finally came it would fly by just like that? It's funny, life has a way of flying by faster than any old summer vacation.
We all dream of being a child again, even the worst of us. Perhaps the worst most of all.
For we're never wiser than when we're children. They say it and it's true. We'll never see things that clear again.
Do you ever have that experience where your thoughts are like these totally separate, totally self-sustaining phone booths & there's like this vast uninhabited shopping mall in your head?
Feeling screwed up at a screwed up time in a screwed up place does not necessarily make you screwed up.
Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day.
I've always found that writing comes from a great inner pain.
There are two kinds of people in this world: Those that enter a room and turn the television set on, and those that enter a room and turn the television set off.
The more you drive, the less intelligent you are.
Anything lost can be found again, except for time wasted. "If you want the rainbow, you've gotta put up with the rain" - Do you know which philosopher said that? Dolly Parton. And people say she's just a big pair of tits.
We all have to accept, some days we're the pigeon, and some days we're the statue.
Pain or damage doesn't end the world or despair or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man and give some back.
In life you have to do a lot of things you don't fucking want to do. Many times, that's what life is... one vile fucking task after another.
Your job is unfair to you? Grow up, way it goes. People use you? Life's unfair? Grow up, way it goes. Your girlfriend doesn't love you? Tough shit, way it goes. This is the only way that you can hope to survive. Because life... is not a movie. Good guys lose. Everybody lies. And love... does not conquer all.
That's what life is. Just a bunch of moments. Most of them are lousy, but once in a while you get a good one.
I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees.
I've got images in my brain I'll never get out.
The saddest thing in life is wasted talent.
I am my own biggest distraction. It's 1909 and you're alone with a young artist named Adolph. Do you kill him?
Morality is temporary. Wisdom is permanent.
Never confuse God with religion. For on the one hand there is a theory: God. On the other certitude: religion. It gives human society a framework. People would have no reference points without religion. We saw the results of that during the Revolution when the churches were looted and priests guillotined. A country toppled into anarchy, chaos, madness and a reign of terror. We can do without God, but not without religion.
If Jesus Christ were to come today, people would not crucify him. They would instead ask him to dinner, hear what he had to say, and make fun of it.
People don't believe in god so much as they choose not to believe in anything.
A moment of realisation is worth a thousand prayers.
I am the Walrus. God is just the middle man.
Bless me father for I sinned... and so have you.
Maybe there isn't any sin and there isn't any virtue. Its just what people do. Some things people do are nice and some aren't so nice, and that is all any man's got a right to say.
A man hasn't any idea what his soul looks like until he gazes into the eyes of the woman that he's married to. And then, if he's any kind of decent human being, he spends the next couple of days throwing up. Because no honest man can stand that image. Politics is like masturbation without the payoff.
There's already been one radical in the White House. I don't believe it can survive another. When religion and politics ride in the same cart, the whirlwind follows.
If there was a law that they were working with maybe we could take it. But it isn't the law. They're working away our spirits, trying to make us cringe and crawl. Taking away out decency.
We're turning into a nation of whimpering slaves to fear. Fear of war, fear of poverty, fear of random terrorism, fear of getting down-sized or fired because of the plunging economy, fear of getting evicted for bad debts or suddenly getting locked up in a military detention camp on vague charges of being a terrorist sympathizer.
Francis Scott Key who wrote the Star Spangled Banner knew what he was doing. He set the word free to a note so high nobody could reach it. That was deliberate.
Freedom is something that dies unless it's used.
Yet no one is stealing our freedoms, we're dealing them away.
It's been confusion from the word go! The government is still in bed.
The Twin Towers are gone now, reduced to bloody rubble, along with all hopes for peace in our time, in the United States or any other country. Make no mistake about it: we are at war now - with somebody - and we will stay at war with that mysterious enemy for the rest of our lives.
Rich folks come up and they die. Their kids aren't any good and they die to. But we keep on coming. We're the people that live. They can't wipe us out; they can't lick us. We'll go on forever, because we are the people. I think only stupid people have good relationships.
"I love you" can mean a lot of things... like "you'll do 'till someone better comes along," or "I can't describe how I really feel but I know that I'm supposed to say this," or "Shut up, I'm watching TV."
If you're in love, you should just go for it. The way you went for breakfast.
I'll tell you what I envy about people in love? - I'd love it if someone knew me, I mean really knew me. What I like, what I'm afraid of, what kind of toothpaste I use.
When you're in a relationship it means you are obligated to give a shit.
Try not to be one of those people who finds a slight in any compliment.
If you ever want to sleep at night, don't marry a beautiful female.
Guys do like to be called.
The truth is the explanation that most people want to buy.
The heart is a sleeping beauty and love the only kiss it can't resist. Even if its eyes lay open wide, there is a heart that sleeps inside. For all hearts dream, they dream only of awakening. Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap; thoughtless; perfunctory gift which nobody ever asks for. Unable to be returned because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you're stuck with this indefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing left to eat. Sure, once in a while there's a Peanut Butter Cup or an English Toffee, but they're gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. Instead you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts. And if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is an empty box. Filled with useless brown paper wrappers.
Like my old grand daddy used to say, "The less a man makes declarative statements, the less apt he is to look foolish in retrospect."
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone but they've always worked for me.
Every problem has a solution.
The fiercest enemy is the man who has nothing left to lose.
You drink that drink! Alcohol has been a social lubricant for thousands of years. What do you think, you're going to sit here tonight and reinvent the wheel?
I'm not YELLING. My voice is raised in emphasis. It's a perfectly legitimate use of volume.
If you can't share your secrets with your friends then what kind of friend are you?
You never know who anybody is, except me. I am who I am.
Funerals. Sex. Death. I'm gonna go out and play.
