I'm watching YouTube videos of the Rocking New Year's Eve concerts that I missed, and it occurs to me that music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it.
At 14, all my mom could talk about was how getting a girl pregnant would ruin my life. At 34, all my mom can talk about is how never getting a girl pregnant has ruined her life.
Sure, by my age my grandfather had fought a war, bought a farm, married, and had two kids, but I've got a phone that plays music AND video games. Who's got time for kids with all that on my plate?
Whenever I pass a person preaching the apocalypse on a street corner, I just wanna stop, hand him a book of Lovecraft and ask "Have you read the Good News?"
Seriously. Every Revelations preacher is just a goth kid who never blossomed, and it's all I can do not to help them along their way.
