Urge to kill rising. I find the reaction here far more threatening than both the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street combined.
Seriously, just read through a bunch of these. It paints an ugly picture.

“The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you’re sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and somthing else that you reject will push you in another direction. Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. You feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and I find that’s almost never the case.”

The second Friday in January marks the anniversary of my quitting smoking. Tomorrow that second Friday marks four years. So here’s the lifetime chart:
I mention it only because these posts serve as a mental note. I honestly don’t miss it at this point. Although it’d be pretty cool to get hold of a cigarette machine. How cool would that be to have in the house? People have jukeboxes, pinball machines, bars and shit like that. I want a cigarette machine…and not some fancy thing. I want the old 70′s/80′s shit where you plunked money in and had to pull that lever out to drop the pack of smokes. Like This.
