I smoke. If this bothers anyone, I suggest you look around at the world in which we live and shut your f-kin' mouth.
It's an insane world, and I'm proud to be a part of it.
I believe it is our own misperceptions of who we really are that leads to every self-created hell you'll find in this world.
Do I have a message? Yes, I do. Here's my message: as scary as the world is - and it is - it is merely a ride...
God has this...hobby. He creates perfection. This world is not perfect. We have to learn to separate illusions from reality.
Dinosaur fossils were placed in rocks by prankster God just to make human beings think the world is older than it is.
I hate patriotism... I can't stand it. It's a round world last time I checked.
The CIA has a plot...they've used before to get rid of world leaders. Only problem...is convincing Hussein...to fly to Dallas.
You want a better world...? Legalize pot right now. ...end the deficit? Legalize pot right now...biggest cash crop in America.
I was always 'awake'...Some part of me clamoring for NEW insights and NEW ways to make the world a better place.
They also have a sense of irony, which America doesn't have seeing as it's being run by fundamentalists who take things literally.
You think when Jesus comes back, he really wants to see a cross? That's like going up to Jackie Onassis with a rifle pendant on.
I'm an American who loves an America which doesn't exist, which is a land of freedom and free ideas.
Sixteen years I've pounded my head against the mentality of America, which...I'd say it's about an 8th grade emotional level.
