god damn it, you've got to be kind

speaking of kurt vonnegut...


"Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you've got to be kind."
God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater

Five random thoughts by the mind of a genius:

1. "I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is."A Man Without A Country

2. "Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder, 'Why, why, why?' Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand." Cat's Cradle

3."That is my principal objection to life, I think: It's too easy, when alive, to make perfectly horrible mistakes." Deadeye Dick

4. "We must be careful about what we pretend to be." Mother Night

5. "So it goes." Slaughter House Five

No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless our government, our corporations, our media, and our religious and charitable institutions may become, the music will still be wonderful.

If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph:

THE ONLY PROOF HE NEEDED
FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
WAS MUSIC

&& poem is my thank you for music,
and i love you more than poem.
