Start: Do me a favor, don鈥檛 fool yourself and think that this is 鈥榓rt鈥�, 鈥榢ay? It鈥檚 a sick fucking joke, but it is not 鈥榓rt.鈥� And if I鈥檓 wrong about that, I mean if I totally miss the point here and somehow puking up your own little shitty neuroses all over people鈥檚 laps is actually art, then you oughta at least realize there鈥檚 a price to it all鈥ou know?

[... 鈥� 鈥

End: There鈥檚 gotta be a line. For art to exist, there has to be a line out there somewhere. A line between really saying something and just鈥eeding attention鈥 guess I鈥檓 done.
