"Artists can color the sky red because they know it's blue." -- Jules Feiffer

Exam periods are unique. You've got lotsa time to slack and all that shit. And yet u have controlled enjoyment cause somewhere inside your head there is that pressure hovering and you impose unnecessary restrictions on yourself like not going to the movies. So instead u sit on the sofa and stare at the tv for 4 hours and then turn on your computer and surf for another 4. What's up with that?

Anyway, my ex-roomate serious, wanted me to post something he found for me... but i left it at home...
.. anyway i think its a tad too long and cumbersome to post but i'll give the gist of it. The author rebukes the notion that work should be called making a living. Instead it should be called making a dying. You get up god fucking early in the morning, go through a god fucking routinised day, make yourself god fucking tired, feel like a god fucking zombie when you get home and barely have enough breath to fuck. So since at the end of the day u feel substantially less alive than at the start of it, it should be called making a dying.

I'm not particularly impressed by this article, it is something we all already know but live with isn't it? Doesn't really offer any insight to anything original or new, no revelation of sorts. And what's more, "making a dying"?!!! I dunno if the author is someone trying to act cute or might be just a geek who thinks its cool but it has certainly found a place in my list of lame phrases to be used when needed. Furthermore, just like me, all say and no do amounts to little more than fart in the air.

As a final note,
"Artists shouldn't eat shit even though they know that it stinks." -- Junji
