“I feel like I had so many more stories before I came to film school. I wrote so much when I was young. I’d fill up entire journals. I was a quiet kid, so writing was my way of imagining conversations that I’d never have in real life. But it doesn’t feel like I’m expressing myself anymore. It’s become less about whether I like it, and more about whether my professors and classmates like it. I’m always focused on the rhythm, or the structure, or the notes I received in class, or all these rules from a long time ago that everybody uses because they work. And it just feels like I’m swapping out decorations in a house that’s already been built. But I’m afraid to be more inventive, because if your work doesn’t fit the rules, then people will doubt your talent. So film school has made me much better at making other people happy. But it’s made me less happy. And that’s not a direction that I can see myself continuing for very long.”

“When you’re a kid, Jesus sounds like a hippie or Bernie Sanders or something so it all sounds pretty nice. But then the rules get confusing. You go to Catholic school and some guy in a dress named Brother Roy starts beating you cause you got in a fight. It’s sorta like Gitmo in there. And you start to realize that all these rules are just to keep people down. To keep women down especially because they have the ultimate power of not fucking you. I do like the Jews because their version is less full of shit. A lot of those Talmud guys are so smart that they’re practically just atheists who love fairy tales. And Buddhism is pretty cool too cause it’s all in your head. No Pope. No mandatory meetings. Anyway, let me know if you figure it out. I don’t know shit I just dress well.”

“Go into the arts. I’m not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”

— Kurt Vonnegut (via quotemadness)

Write down your favorite line from the lyrics of the first ten songs that appear on shuffle. Thanks for the tag @mando-man-sandy-ravage

The Noose- Perfect Circle “And not to pull your halo down, Around your neck and tug you to the ground, But I'm more than just a little curious, How you're planning to go about, Making your amends to the dead, To the dead.”

Oh! You Pretty Little Things - David Bowie “ What are we coming to, No room for me, no fun for you, I think about a world to come, Where the books were found by the Golden ones, Written in pain, written in awe, By a puzzled man who questioned, What we were here for, All the strangers came today, And it looks as though they're here to stay”

Way To Be Loved - TOPS “ Is that the way that you are? Wear your hair down alone, Tie it up when he’s there, And tell me that nothing’s wrong ”

White Walls - Between the Buried and Me “ Don't show them who you truly are Who would want honesty? Who would want a group of people that one can relate with? ”

Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors - Radiohead “ There are doors that let you in And out But never open. And there are trapdoors. That you can't come back from ”

Nutshell - Alice in Chains “ My gift of self is raped. My privacy is raked And yet I find, And yet I find, Repeating in my head: If I can't be my own I'd feel better dead.”

Limerent Death - Dillinger Escape Plan “ I gave you everything you wanted You were everything to me.”

Cone of Shame - Faith No More “ I'd like to peel your skin off So I can see what you really think Or if there is anything Under that cone of shame ”

Death Whispered a Lullaby - Opeth “ Out on the road there are fireflies circling Deep in the woods, where the lost souls hide. Over the hill there are men returning. Trying to find some peace of mind. Sleep my child.”

Siberian Khatru - Yes “ Even Siberia goes through the motions, hold out and hold up, Hold down the window. Hold out the morning that comes into view. River running right on over my head.”

LOS ANGELES—Citing the overwhelming amount of physical evidence present at the scene, Los Angeles Police Department officials announced Thursday that they now suspect foreplay may have been involved in the recent death of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner. “Upon entering Mr. Hefner’s bedroom, there were clear indications that his death was not platonic in nature,” said LAPD detective Marcus Rosetti, adding that the presence of feather ticklers and recently lit scented candles suggested that Hefner was getting worked up at the time of his passing. “However, forensics will still have to test several samples of massage oils found in proximity to Mr. Hefner before we can make any conclusive determination.” Rosetti went on to say that, at present, police believed the perpetrators of Hefner’s death were six or seven individuals working in concert.
