It's Hard To Beat The Visceral High

I Think In Some Ways, Whether You've Ever Actually Been To Portland, People Definitely Understand This Highly Curated Niche Lifestyle, Because A Lot Of People Are Sort Of Striving For That Now. Or They're Hating On It.

For A While I Had Somebody That Came To Clean My House That Turned Out To Be In A Band That I Really Loved.

To Me, That Ugliness, That Grotesqueness - That's The Essence [of Life]. That's Where You Realize, It's Not About All The Consonance And The Harmony. It's All The Parts That Are Wrong That Help Explain Why We're Drawn To Something - What The Mystery Is - Just As Much As The Beautiful Things.

I'm Interested In The Crevices, And The Grotesque, And The Unsavory. That Started Out When I Was Young... I've Never Quite Been Able To Shake That.

The Idea Of Self-effacement, The Idea That You Feel So Powerless That The Only Tiny Morsel Of Power You Have Is Over Your Own Ability To Deny Yourself Food - That To Me Is A Very Profound And Sad Methodology And Indicator Of How Powerless A Lot Of People Feel In This World. That They Will Turn That Onto Themselves Until They Are Physically Smaller. I Think It's Affected My Worldview A Lot - Just Being Sensitive And Empathetic Towards The Ways People Want To Be Small. I Don't Wish Smallness For Anyone.
