pissed off muthafucker because people are not stepping up

1 day a week
giving up meat would help greatly

2 degrees
lowering your thermostat by this much would help

1 time a month
frequency with which you should check your tires to maintain better gas mileage
(and get a more fuel efficient vehicle you fuck)

90 %

being cool has never been my aim
i'm not even sure if i have a good handle on what is cool and what is not
but those that i see trying oh so very hard
leave me feeling more disappointed than disgusted

we all have different priorities in life
but such insincere goals leave a hollow feeling in my soul
it's not that i think less of those who follow cool
i just find myself less impressed as the conversations progress

am i cursed to follow in Goodman Brown's shoes
i suppose better that than Paris Hilton's beds
but the problem is more in my head than the shopping mall's halls
for my friends are my friends whether hip or not, cool or the death of

vengeful viruses
waging their attack on my body

flip-flop between freezing
and heating the room like a furnace

13 hours of sleep
2 days worth of calories ingested

random mumbles
as i fall in and out of consciousness

my intimidated immune system
fights the good fight

if only i could sleep through the night...

a child's eyes never lie
there's honesty in every giggle, every sigh

the sincerity of youth
they know no faux, only truth

so the next time someone says "you're acting like a kid"
i'll say "thank you, i wish that more did"

some die having only pursued stuff
while some live their life for love

when you spend all your time looking for things that shine
then year after year that is all that you will find

but when you take the time to be a true friend
you will be surrounded by loved ones in the end

let the rich have their money for i need it not
because i am overwhelmed by all that i have got

the key to
doing what you want
is not asking permission

it's always easier
to apologise afterward
that it is to be told NO beforehand

if you are going to do it anyway
don't put someone in the awkward position
of knowing what you are about to do

no one needs permission
to be themselves
or to do the right thing

living this way, frequently you will find
that people will respect what you do
even if they have to reprimand you publicly
