' What about dignity?
You will die, and when you die, you will know a profound lack of it. It's never dignified, always brutal. What's dignified about dying? It's never dignified. And in obscurity? Offensive. Dignity is an affectation, cute but eccentric, like learning French or collecting scarves. And it's fleeting and incredibly mercurial. And subjective. So fuck it. '
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
-Dave Eggers (quite possibly my new favorite author depending on the supremacy of his other books; which i'm told are even better.) that paragraph isn't close to how funny the essence of the book is.
just a thought, but do you think it's true that having a laptop on your lap for a long period of time can make a person sterile from the radiation waves? Jaime seems to think so. But does that apply for women too? Is that why i'm getting pains in my ovaries? like momentary punches to the pelvis, due to enslavement of interweb technology? well, .. shit. why are the things that are so enticing are the things that kill us? and keep coming for that reason.
and what in the hell is that scratching sound coming from?
every 15 mins or so?
it doesn't make sense.
Not coming from the closets, behind doors, i even opened the fridge to expect a cat jump out or an abortive rapist shaking in place, holding a knife up by the side of his buzzed skinhead, eyes bulged in shivering agony.
at least that would be something.
But no dice.
I'm going to lose my insanity.
i say,
it's impossible to type an anecdote and smoke at the same time. In fact I've noticed i don't smoke unless I'm drinking .. and it doesn't help circumstances being that everything seems to tastes better out of a coffee cup.
