I remember seeing a picture of a guy who attempted suicide by shooting himself in the head with a sawed-off shotgun. That in itself is gross, but the guy lived. His ENTIRE face was gone...eyes, nose, mouth...just sort of the front part of his brain and the hole to his throat. He didn't live long, but the fact he lived for a little while is shocking.

For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.
--Charles Bukowski
