It's Funny, Isn'T It

"IT'S FUNNY, ISN'T IT?"



we all hope for change at 
some point in our lives and 
when we get it, it usually 
comes when we don’t want 
it.

eventually the mouths dry up,
life continues and everything
that once was, is 
gone.

when we’re younger, it keeps
us looking ahead.
when we’re older, it pushes
us towards something else to
take the place of something
else.

change breeds more change.
remorse, adaptation and ex-
citement are the 
children.

we all have a sickness that 
ruins other sicknesses.
the easiest way to deal with
your own is to find someone
that has a sickness far worse 
than 
you.

most people feel sorry for me.
they play on changes that re-
define who I am.
I feel sorry for people.
they live in the change they
create.

for me, it’s quite simple:
everything is 
temporary.

love, life, even 
death.

change will bring all of 
these.
change will destroy all of 
these.
my change brought what has 
kept me alive all these years.

grab 13 minutes for yourself 
and motion the waiter for 
another 
drink.

the next 13 will be 
magical.
