I used to think that I could pass through life in a fantasy, that if I did enough drugs and dreamed hard enough then I could leave this hellish world on a permanent psychedelic holiday. I could become a piper with a patchwork jacket made of tweed, piping a flute through the fields of wheat in some Kansas of my mind's invention. All the buildings, the advertisements trying to sell me things, they would all drop away and I'd be free. But the reality of it was that I was stuck right here whether I liked it or not. whether I liked it or not.
I don't know what it is, probably the acid, but I REALLLLY wana walk on my hands right now. - Mitch (my manfriend.)
Im gonna get chirped for this but fuck it. "We shinin', We rollin', We sippin', We smokin', We livin', We happy, They mad." Cudi Just because a rapper says it doesnt mean it isnt deep.
"If "heavy metal" was the Anglo-American contribution to low culture, then "rap" was the African-American donation. And if "metal" came from the garage where Junior had been sent with his guitar and extension cord, then rap came from the street where young blacks played the only instruments they could afford—the mouth organ and the foot drum. Rap is performed in street clothes; metal in elaborate costumes of leather and fringe. In metal, the volume carries the aggression; in rap it is the words. Both are rife with adolescent misogyny, homophobia, and threats of violence. They are rude, bawdy, boastful, with a kind of "in your face" aggression (called "attitude") characteristic of insecure masculinity. Both musical forms were unique, however, in that they produced platinum records with little radio exposure. They found their audience on MTV." - James B. Twitchell
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race” -Calvin Coolidge Also Calvin Coolidge was notorious for being a man of few words, famously once at a dinner party Dorthoy Parker was sitting next to him and turned over and joked "Mr. President I made a bet with one of my friends that I'd be able to get you to say at least 3 words tonight" To which he replied "You lose" Also when asked by a reporter once why he continued to attend Washington socialite dinners despite his known distaste for them, his response "Gotta eat somewhere"
"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death" - Albert Einstein
