fair warning
the only thing certain is uncertainty. the only viable belief is doubt. even disillusionment is ephemeral. even our worst case scenarios are dwarfed by the actual; we cry when our dog is killed on a rainswept street, only to be crushed by a rolling log truck seconds later.it's worse than you think it is, so don't fear and don't despair. pretend you are superman, because smart people gave up hope long ago. reason isn't going to get you where you need to go.
you think you're a "flipout" artist? you don't even know the meaning of flipping out. the flipping out you REALLY need to do you probably are too chicken, weak, stupid, ineffectual and lazy to accomplish.
so flip out. do it. be prepared to hold nothing back, go all the way, and completely abandon the very framework containing your self-limiting neuroses. because you love them. you really do. they're comforting, like the smell of your own effluvia.
"quit your job"? "commit suicide"? "kill your boss/parents/etc."?
small fucking potatoes, bitch. do you have the guts to actually kill the voice inside your head? all that other stuff is the easy way out.
how do you kill the voice in your head?
i give you the words of todd rundgren:
You know, wishing won't make it so
Hoping won't do it, praying won't do it,
Religion won't do it, philosophy won't do it
The Supreme Court won't do it,
The president and the congress won't do it
the U.N. won't do it, the H bomb won't do it
The sun and the moon won't do it
God won't do it, and I certainly won't do it
That leaves you, you'll have to do it.
