laura took this
today i went to BERKELEY BOWL to get LUNCH and i saw an elderly woman wearing a pin that was literally the size of a dinner plate, upon which was written:
I AM
76 YEARS OLD
AND EVERY DAY
IS A MIRACLE!
thought i: “wow now i feel really sad!!!!”
lol
Hey I don’t really know what this means in the grand scheme of things, but I just wanted to let y’all know that I have completely stopped reading the inspirational quotes on the caps of glass tea bottles. My curiosity for them has evaporated once and for all. The other day I flipped one over and saw a completely meaningless out-of-context Albert Einstein quote about “ideas” and I knew right then and there I could never go back to that particular dark world.
Fortunately I’ll never really have to face the temptation of reading Gandhi quotes on the paper tabs of tea bags because, SORRY, I don’t buy that yoga mom horseshit. I go to a god damn Chinese grocery store and buy the least pretentious brandless workhorse 100-pack of green tea they have . . . just like any fine American should!!
LOOK: I’m mostly kidding, but before I end this thing, let me just say that it sure would be cool to just indulge in The Thing Itself without having to buy into a pretend quote-unquote culture / philosophy surrounding it!!!!!
Baby, it’s not a lifestyle: it’s shredded tea leaves that you pour hot water over.
God keep me from ever completing anything. This whole book is but a draught—nay, but the draught of a draught. Oh, Time, Strength, Cash, and Patience!
i have heard so many people say they stopped reading moby-dick when they got to “the whale chapters”, about 150 pages in
i love y’all but are y’all missing the jokes and the good stuff in there or what
he’s riffin and havin fun the whole time
god dang, ye babies!!
get yer head in the game!!!!
