I am happy today. I was happy last week. Most of my life I haven't felt bad. So I must be living at a sunny spot in that dark dark wasteland.
In my whole life, I don't think I have really been deceived more than 10 times. Despair and paranoia can be deceived to go elsewhere.
Brethren is not a word in my vocabulary. If love is a comical joke, I want it even more. I love jokes.
