it's a sign.

...And to continue a series of unexpected wisdom bombarding my life, let's hear a few surprising words from Max Bemis.

"The cool thing about this new record is that I feel like, as much as there are no happy endings in life, there are, in a way. Society brands you and conditions you to think you'll never get what you're looking for. You gotta keep trying, you gotta keep buying everything; don't settle for anything or anybody. Don't compromise, ever. That's the American Way. But in reality, life is full of compromise, and it brings you the most joy when you notice the small things in life.

I have better things to do with my time than to be the typical tortured artist. There are political systems and sociological mechanisms that could literally destroy this earth. My grandkids could be dead from us not taking care of this world and of each other. If I'm going to be trying to live this stupid, kvetching life, it's a waste of energy. It's a waste of what God gave me."

I will now top it off with tidings from Stephen Christian.

"Life is too good and life is too short to complain."

There you have it ladies and gentleman. My new outlook on life.
