“I don’t think I ever do it to be constructive, I mean I’m not trying to investigate anything. I’m just looking for some kicks, ya know. I think if I got into all that metaphysical crap I’d definitely have a real bummer” - pauses long enough to swallow a Tandy Take – “I do think you learn a hell of a lot though” – then more seriously , as his eyes focus on his amused listener and his bushy head comes forward a few inches and seems to descend completely into its nest of shoulder blade – “ you know what I really get into and its scares the shit out of me later … I get into laughing at my self-destructiveness and how I could flip out and all and how this is a really big chance to be taking, and ya know what, as long as I keep laughing everything is very cool, if I got into that What’s-it-all-about-shit you’re into I’d have to stop laughing and I don’t know if I could go with that. My point is though that I’ve learned how to laugh at myself real well, and I think that’s pretty important, don’t you?” Written January 14th, 2002 © on Jan 14 2002 06:10 AM PST   0 • 10
