WE CAN’T ALL BE PHOTOGRAPHERS, MUSICIANS, AND GRAPHIC DESIGNERS WHEN WE GROW UP.
that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t all try.
come on.
But he’s right. Where’s the originality behind these creative professions if everyone starts doing them because it’s the hip thing to do? It gets harder and harder to distinguish the real talent in the mob. We...
i never wanted to grow up.
i viewed the shedding of my childhood as a disaster looming in the future, and not for the reasons adults complain about. Taxes, strenuous jobs, and raising “ungrateful” children didn’t worry me. Even now, they hardly do. These things can be avoided in some way. Becoming a slave to time, however, is inevitable. Innocence has a way of slipping away. The act of living tends to wear...

Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.
When in doubt, just take the next small step.
Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch!
Pay off your credit cards every month.

Your body is nothing but existence come to you, existence reached to you. It is the nearest existence to you, that’s all. Your body is just the nearest corner of it, and then the whole existence is there ― it goes on spreading. Once your attachment is not there, there is no body to you; or, the…

Still trying to wake him, i gently touched his face with my thumb. “Stop! Don’t. You’re going to give me zits.” “What if I use my index finger?” “That’s even worse! Everyone knows that pointer fingers have zits in them.” “What if i use my pinkie?” “In my butt.” he said, chuckling. “Okay, one second.” i said...
more conversations with the half asleep
“Did you drug me?”
“i feel like you poked holes in my body.”
He asked me for a blanket, so i handed him a pillow to see what he would say. “That won’t keep my dick warm!”
“You’re driving me crazy.” he said with a dream-laden smile. “What am i driving?” “….An SUV.”
i like talking to sleeping people.

You know how people say “That’s a big-ass spider” or “You’re such a dumb-ass loser!” etc. Well, notice how the hyphen is placed before the word “ass” in all those sentences, as it should. Whenever anyone says a sentence that has “something-ass whatever” in it, i move the hyphen after the word…
