I went on a journey to find myself.
And, I actually did,
I found myself.
Unfortunately I was so busy having fun that I couldn't enterntain myself.

I have seen it all, done it all - I think.

Flying in a hotair balloon is just like bungee jumping but without the falling part.

If you constantly seek out pleasure you obviously develop tolerance and therefore you'll have to seek new pleasures. It's an upward spiral that might or might not have it's limits. But should we rather abstain and create a downward spiral that let's you suck out pleasure of the most trivial situations. You will probably be happier restraining yourself. The little pleasures in life. But in the big picture, in life, evolution or for mankind such attitude is a step backwards. You don't contribute from within your own little happiness.

I am saving myself from marriage

Everything is cool with beer and pizza.

Thanks to social websites we are much more in control over our reputation. Before if somebody wanted to find out something about you he or she would ask somebody and therfore get a skewed second hand picture. Now people google you and they get the info you put on your website.

I am working out again every morning. Yesterday I was doing my push-ups on a play ground when a friendly looking Indian fella started hesitantly to circle me as if to find the best angel to approach. He finally came up to me and mumbled a few words which I didn't understand. Before I could inquire, he let me to a bench and asked me to sit down. Apparently he just did some breathing exercises and was loaded with bliss which he obviously wanted to share with me. He tried to teach me some yoga. I told him friendly but sternly that I don't do Yoga. Not that I think it's a bad thing. It's just that a "peace of mind" really makes me nervous.

You can't be living close to the edge without crossing it occasionally.

The problem with being as perfect as I am is that people tend to get intimidated. That is why I grew a belly. With that I opened a small gate of imperfection through which you have a chance to approach me.

We passed a school with a sign saying: "child friendly".
That sounds nice.
Maybe I should re-consider and take my kids out of the school Which has that big sign screaming: "We hate those little fuckers".

No, I didn't get the hint. Where exactly in the phrase "piss off jerk" does it indicate that the girl wasn't interested in me?

I strongly feel artists should get free housing, free stimulants of their choice and about five thousand US dollars a months to keep them happy. In exchange for that they have to promise to not just masturbate all day long except of course if it's part of a bigger art project.

Hey, I can be very compassionate, Especuially when it comes to feeling pity for myself.

You can't un-art yourself.

Once you have chosen the path of creativity you are hooked forever. Once you understood quality you wouldn't settle for anything below your standards. As an artist you can't do anything anymore without a concept and/or aesthetic value.

I know I produced something goodif it leaves even my closest friends gasping and wondering if by now I totally lost it.

I am not afraid of letting circumstances enhance my art.

You'll be amazed how much conversation can be generated simply by putting a tube of KY jelly on your office desk.

You are always generalizing everything

What ever you do, never try to please people.
Even the highest paid professional people pleasors can't get it right most of the time. So you might as well just do your own thing. (whatever that is)

The best part of having a teenage son is that you can always blame it on him if your wife finds a roach in the car.

I am a beer kinda guy and don't drink much else. Recently I was invited to drink single malts. That left me with a complete new species of a yet to be described hang-over.

Art is an important counter balance to popular culture. It is the advancement of thinking as opposed to the re-confirmation of the expectations of the lowest common denominator.

I wonder at what point I stopped remembering.

I am very consistent. I constantly have to do something different.

Reality is a feed-back loop.
TV shows stage reality.
People watching those shows start to imitate it. TV picks that up, exaggerates it a little and throws it right back at their audience.

I collected 50 bucks from various friends supposedly to be given to some kids with cancer. Then I used the money to buy some beer and drinks for bar girls instead.
I always wanted to know how it feels like to be a politician.
