CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to invest in a cockroach farm. I believe them to be the cutest little creatures God ever put on this earth and I really don't believe they get a fair deal in life.

ABOUT ME

When I was born I was so surprised I didn't talk for a year and a half!

When I did start talking I started singing! When I started singing I began to see the world in an amazing array of colors. When I began to see all the colors I began to feel free. When I felt free I started to fly. And now that I can fly I've the whole universe inside of me!

PHILOSOPHY

Be Drunk
by Charles Baudelaire, translated by Louis Simpson

You have to be always drunk. That's all there is to it—it's the only way. So as not to feel the horrible burden of time that breaks your back and bends you to the earth, you have to be continually drunk.

But on what? Wine, poetry or virtue, as you wish. But be drunk.

And if sometimes, on the steps of a palace or the green grass of a ditch, in the mournful solitude of your room, you wake again, drunkenness already diminishing or gone, ask the wind, the wave, the star, the bird, the clock, everything that is flying, everything that is groaning, everything that is rolling, everything that is singing, everything that is speaking. . .ask what time it is and wind, wave, star, bird, clock will answer you: "It is time to be drunk! So as not to be the martyred slaves of time, be drunk, be continually drunk! On wine, on poetry or on virtue as you wish."

To be alive
by Gregory Orr

To be alive: not just the carcass
But the spark.
That's crudely put, but…

If we're not supposed to dance,
Why all this music?
