library would-be world
In my world there would be as many public libraries as there are Starbucks.
hate america easy
It's hard to keep your backbone straight in America. It's easy to turn into that which you hate, and to get smashed.
hero men average
The average is the borderline that keeps mere men in their place. Those who step over the line are heroes by the very act. Go.
would-be modern modern-music
Without the blues, modern music would be nothing like it is now - not remotely.
stars thinking rocks
Listen to the stage manager and get on stage when they tell you to. No one has time for the rock star bullshit. None of the techs backstage care if you're David Bowie or the milkman. When you act like a jerk, they are completely unimpressed with the infantile display that you might think comes with your dubious status. They were there hours before you building the stage, and they will be there hours after you leave tearing it down. They should get your salary, and you should get theirs.
thinking pizza anything-is-possible
Pizza makes me think that anything is possible.
motivational-workout blood mind
Keep your blood clean, your body lean, and your mind sharp.
kindness home sleep
You can get what you want. Never sell out. Don't break. Don't weaken. Don't let the kindness of strangers be your salvation, for it is no salvation at all. Unless you sleep alone, you sleep with the enemy. Never come out of the storm. On the other hand, maybe you should. You don't have what it takes to go the hard way. Come out of the cold and sit by the fire. Let them warm you with the smiles and promise of friendship's fortune. Lose your edge. A soft body and chained mind suit you. Chances are you don't have what it takes to walk the frozen trail. Stay home and relax.
life stay-strong moving
Scar tissue is stronger than regular tissue. Realize the strength, move on.
smart want next
its no surprise to me that anyone hardly tells the truth about how they feel. The smart ones keep to themselves for good reason. Why would you want to tell anyone anything that's dear to you? Even when you like them and want nothing more than to be closer to them? It's so painful to be next to someone you feel so strongly about and know you can't say the things you want to.
art writing guy
I'd like to rid myself of writing, to surrender, to release the venom. And hopefully at some point, I'll be a happy, well-adjusted guy and I'll have no need for all that 'art.'
able existence wanted
I would like to be able to gently drift in and out of existence when I wanted to.
lonely being-alone people
Yes, I guess you could say I am a loner, but I feel more lonely in a crowed room with boring people than I feel on my own.
character hardship tissues
Go without a coat when it's cold; find out what cold is. Go hungry; keep your existence lean. Wear away the fat, get down to the lean tissue and see what it's all about. The only time you define your character is when you go without. In times of hardship, you find out what you're made of and what you're capable of. If you're never tested, you'll never define you character.
