Every face hides a story
Every story is worth being told
Just look. Just watch and listen and be patient. That last part always
gets me!

His face is hard and quiet and sad and weathered. He collects band
memerobillia, but no one ever visits to see. Is he simple? He wants to
be. He wants to "live life day by day" and focus on only what he can
handle. Maybe he's being healthy.

Here's some math:
Take what you think, and what you know and how you feel about what you
think and know.

Ok, now subtract from that what you feel you can handle day-by-day
without breaking down.

What remains is what the vast majority of north americans are
desperately trying to hide.

Yet they (they, in this case, including me) have this strange
relationship with the feelings and thoughts they think are to
overwhelming. Now and then, you become fascinated with this stuff.
Booze, drugs, music and and art. Love and beauty. These things
sometimes make you forget to supress what you told yourself you can't
handle. And that feeling you get, when you forget to forget, is toxic
and dangerous and additctive and amazing and pure and real and quite
possibly a Meaning of Life. At least, thats how I feel each day.
