If everyone was the same, wouldnt it be a dull and uninteresting world?


A-men, brother. I think a lot of the judgment in the world comes from people who are scared of doing something different so they mock what they dont understand. Whatever floats your boat, thats my motto.

Yes, so many people go with the flow, so to speak, and do what everyone else does whether they really want to or not. Just so they can be with the rest of the sheep. Most people think Im weird because I like off-beat books and off-beat movies and some of the things I have done have been what a lot of people might consider eccentric but I dont care, I like my life and Im not bothering anyone else.

Most rock journalism is people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, for people who can't read.

This one seems appropriate, for a Spring-like February day.

"Though hundreds of thousands had done their very best to disfigure the small piece of land on which they were crowded together, by paving the ground with stones, scraping away every vestige of vegetation, cutting down the trees, turning away birds and beasts, and filling the air with the smoke of naphtha and coal, still spring was spring, even in the town."
- Leo Tolstoy
