Deal with the Badness

        You said the world's bad and we can't run away from that. You're right there. But you said we can't fight it. We must deal with the badness, make terms. And then the badness deal with you. Make it's own terms, surely.

It Was All True

          Whiskey is a living thing capable of any emotion that you are. It's love and deep laughter and brotherhood of the type that bonds nations together. Whiskey is your friend when nobody else comes around. And whiskey is solace that holds you tighter than most lovers can. I thought all that while looking at my sealed bottle. And i knew for a fact that it was all true. True the way a lover's pillow talk is true. True the way a mother's dreams for her napping infant are true.

It's your last chance
To check under the hood
Last chance

To trust the man with the star
You've found the last chance Texaco

The Conformist
Bernardo Bertolucci

To Find Something

          They threw me off the hay truck about noon. I had swung on the night before, down at the border, and as soon as i got up there under the canvas, i went to sleep. I needed plenty of that, after three weeks in Tia Juana, and i was still getting it when they pulled off to one side to let the engine cool. Then they saw a foot sticking out and threw me off. I tried some comical stuff, but all i got was a dead pan, so that gag was out. They gave me a cigarette though, and i hiked down the road to find something to eat.
