Epitaph

So listen, sweet Lord, forgive me my sins
'cause I can't stand this life without all of these things
I know I done wrong, I found heaven on Earth
I know I done wrong, but I could've done me worse

Jesus please meet me at the centre of the Earth
'cause these wings are gonna fail me, and I could've done me worse...

- Spacemen 3, Walking With Jesus

The rest of your life, aged 5

Philippe: Mr Bear, what will the rest of my life be like?

Cornelius Bear: Well, I suppose you'll enter grade school, were you'll preoccupy yourself with conspicuously eating only the most popular items. Then you'll go to college, where you'll form an experimental band that will do controversial things, like play in 15/23rd time and shower together. After college, you'll take a trip to the southern California desert, where you'll eat plants that your parents despise, and realise that you are fantastic. From there you'll attempt to write the great American novel, and support yourself if ways not of your choosing. Hopefully sooner rather than later you'll crack open a book that is older than Coca-Cola and realise that here, under the sun, there is nothing new left to be written. Once you recover, you can just rattle of what you like and sell it by the pound.

Philippe: Wow, I get to take a shower with a band? Totally cool!

When it all gets too much, part 2

I want nothing
Than to dissolve in the night and to feel direction no more.

When it all gets too much, part 1

Baby baby, ain't it true?
I'm immortal when I'm with you
But I want a pistol in my hand
I want to go to a different land

Ray on comedy

Any good executive can spot a cokehead. A great one can make him a Belushi.
