Even monsters have their pleasures

I'm just a would've been, could've been, should've been, never was, and never will be.







we're all in our private traps. clamped in them. and none of us can ever get out.

PSYCHO DIALOGUE

                                   MARION
                          A man should have a hobby.

                                    NORMAN
                       It's more than a hobby. A hobby is 
                          supposed to pass the time, not fill 
                             it...

                                     MARION
                         Do you go out with friends?

                                     NORMAN
                              
                         A boy's best friend is his mother. 
                         You haven't had an empty moment in 
                         your entire life, have you?

                                     MARION
                         Only my share.

                                     NORMAN
                         Where are  you going?  I didn't mean 
                         to pry.

                                     MARION
                         I'm looking for a private island.

                                     NORMAN
                         What are you running away from?

                                     MARION
                         Why do you ask that?

                                     NORMAN
                         You know, people never run away from 
                         anything, really. You know what I 
                         think? I think we're all in our 
                         private traps.  Clamped  in them.  
                         And none of us can ever get out.  We 
                         scratch  and we claw, but only at 
                         the air.  Only at each other. And 
                         for all of it, we never budge an 
                         inch.

                                     MARION
                         Sometimes we deliberately step into 
                         those traps.

                                     NORMAN
                         I was born in mine.

It's all about how we walk through the fire

I can only see a better world built on the ashes of this one.











Why didn't I just stay home where it's nice and quiet and nothing ever happens

CAPTION: lonely but certain



Your American dream is our nightmare.
We can't accept the things you teach. We know to much. We are to wise for your demise. We stand strong and hold our ground. For we will never be knocked down. We may appear somewhat faulty and cruel. But we will rise. Oh and how we will rule.

I'm a procrastinator

SANDCASTLES FALL LIKE ASHES OF CIGARETTES.

This quote could be interpreted many different ways, but to me it reads like a correlation between the innocence of a child like substance, such as a sandcastle and the disappointments we experiences as adults, the ashes of cigarettes. Many of us can relate to being a child and getting excited about the smallest of things, like building a sandcastle. And the minor heartbreak we would feel when that sandcastle was ruined, whether by an unexpected wave from the ocean or by a friend accidentally knocking it over. When that sandcastle falls it feels like a failure, all of that time building it was for nothing. We just watch hopelessly as it crashes down. And as we're older the sandcastle becomes something less trivial, and the ashes of cigarettes falling down can be related to bigger problems. Children to adults, Sandcastles to cigarettes. We all grow up and as we do our prospective changes, as do our problems. Whether its a sandcastle falling, or a cigarette burning to ashes, we must remember that every problem seems so important in the moment, but it will soon be done and replaced with something else, and with each problem comes a lesson learned.
