Life! Just do it. Make stuff. Break stuff. Move, think, create, destroy. Experience pain and joy. Waste as little of it as possible. Our time is limited, don’t let others make it more so. I don’t believe religion’s lie, eventually everything alive will die,with not a clue what’s on the other side,this I believe to…

I find it hard to believe anybody anymore. Who is right and who is wrong? Who is left? We live in a world of lies and deceit. I accept that, but I really want to believe in something, and belong to something! I think I will just believe in and belong to, myself! It’s with…

What can I say? Live well on your terms. I felt trapped in endless daysmudanely moving from play to play;eat, sleep, work, repeat;shit, the sameness of my days left me beat.I drowned my sorrow with drugs and boozeusing hopeless futility as an excuse.But this only made me lose;job, family, friends and favor.Then I did a…
