My theme song:
"She sold some to the policeman
And the neighbors copped a grudge
She did not give a damn, you know
She sold some to the judge
And if you come down and out
And do not have a dime
You could come to her on Friday morning
And buy yourself some on time
Ain't that taking care of business (taking care of business) (x2)
[...]
Oww! Mercy!
Mmmph!
So she's taking care of business! (taking care of business)
Taking care of SO much business! (taking care of business)"- "Moonshine Heather," Parliament
"The end of the world has come often, and continues to often come. Unforgiving, unrelenting, bringing darkness upon darkness, the end of the world is something we have become well acquainted with, habitualized, made into a ritual. It is our religion to try to forget it in its absence, make peace with it when it is undeniable, and return its embrace when it finally comes for us, as it always does." -Jonathon Safran Foer, Everything is Illuminated
"Grow up in Detroit and you understand the way of all things. Early on, you are put on close relations with entropy." - Middlesex, by Jeffrey Eugenides
"Interest + confidence + noncommital = recipe for 'general success'" --the product of Russian vodka and some pretty brilliant people".
