old questions, new affirmations
having recently been freed of the illusion that wisdom or serenity are in proprotion to age (woo hoo, the world is full of bastards), I feel better. in my profession, bitchery and diffident disdain are common accompaniments, but when you finally decide to open up to someone you believed was great, and they prove to be the human equivalent to this morning's power dump- well, it crashed me. my bad, I guess, I should have known better.
what makes art good?
someone saying it is good?
what makes your vote count?
age?
famous name?
sheer arrogance?
money?
fuckability?
I am so mad. if you want to upset me good, act like you can figure me out within one minute and judge me.
well. in german, disappointment is ENT-TÄUSCHUNG. which actually means DE-DELUSION. good thing, eventually, that.
what am I learning from this? (because I still try hard to find something valuable in wasting my momentarily very, very precious time to some very, very old man's deranged illusion of grandeur)-
don't look for approval. just don't. do your work. do it well. and that's it.

Like you’ve got nothing to prove
No matter what you might do
There’s always someone out there cooler than you
I know that’s hard to believe
But there are people you meet
They’re into something that is too big
To be expressed through their clothes
And they’ll put up with all the poses you throw
And you won’t even know
That they’re not sizing you up
They know your mom fucked you up
Or maybe let you watch too much TV
But they still look in your eyes
To find the human inside
You know there’s always something in there to see
Beneath the veneer
Not everybody made the list this year
Have a beer
Make me feel tiny if it makes you feel tall
But there’s always someone cooler than you
Yeah, you’re the shit
But you won’t be it for long
Oh, there’s always someone cooler than you
Yeah, there’s always someone cooler than you
Now that I’ve got the disease
In a way I’m relieved
Cause’ I don’t have to stress about it like you do
I might just get up and dance
Or buy some acid washed pants
If you don’t care then you got nothing to lose
And I won’t hesitate
Cause every moment life is slipping away
It’s ok
Make me feel tiny if it makes you feel tall
But there’s always someone cooler than you
Yeah, you’re the shit
But you won’t be it for long
Oh, there’s always someone cooler than you
Yeah, there’s always someone cooler than you
Oh, there’s always someone cooler than
Life is wonderful
Life is beautiful
We’re all children of one big universe
So you don’t have to be a chump
And you know that I won’t hesitate
Cause every moment life is slipping away
It’s ok
Make me feel tiny if it makes you feel tall
‘Cause there’s always someone cooler than you
Yeah, you’re the shit
But you won’t be it for long
But there’s always someone cooler than you
Oh yeah, there’s always someone cooler than you
Because there’s always someone cooler than you...
