Fight Club

You are not a unique snowflake, you will all day and become the same compost heap. (something like that). This book is awesome. I have seen the movie like 20 million times.

Reading this book makes me realize that there truly is no purpose in life. In that realization, you are free to do with your life whatever you desire. My job is a great example. There is no purpose in being a music teacher other than something to do that makes me money so I can live comfortably. In doing that, I scam people in thinking music is important and it has a greater purpose and that we heal people and bring community together...all bullshit. Music is just something we listen to to pass the time as we die. And today music is something that is on the background in life so we don't have awkward silence.

Chauncey and I were talking one day...actually we weren't. We were just sitting around. We came to the conclusion that smoking, drinking, having conversation, and doing the things we do when we hang out with people is to fill a void that isn't really there. When you are with true friends and enjoy their company, you don't need to do anything together. You should just be able to sit there silently.

When you tell somebody you are dyeing, the other person listens instead of waiting for that person to finish talking.

On a long enough timeline, the mortality rate for everyone is 100%.

Enlightenment is bullshit, you still die. However, you could be as fearless as a Hindu cow.

You all should read this book. It will change your life or at least your paradigm.
