"It is certain that we cannot escape anguish, for we are anguish"
Jean-Paul Sartre

such a fatalistic phrase, ironically he was a furious opponent to fatalism

actually it feels pretty nice when you see people who's stolen you userpic, it proves they like it))

what's she doing?

Palahniuk is a wanker. just realized that. a pathetic paranoid impostor of a writer. for teenagers to feel original and revolting. Bukowski is a real writer on the subject, he doesnt make a coclusion, he lets you decide on the facts given. real genius.

"The blood came up and I held it in my mouth. I didn't know what to do.
Up there on the upper tier I would have wetted my friends down quite good. I
held the blood in my mouth trying to think about what to do. The ambulance
turned a corner and the blood began to dribble out the corners of my mouth.
Well, a man had to maintain decencies even while he was dying. I got myself
together, closed my eyes and swallowed my blood back down. I was sickened.
But I had solved the problem. I only hoped we got someplace soon where I
could let the next one go.
Really, there wasn't any thought of dying; the only thoughts I had were
(was) one: this is a terrible convenience, I am no longer in control of what
is happening. They narrowed down your choices and pushed you around.
The ambulance got there and then I was on a table and they were asking
me questions: what was my religion? Where was I born? did I owe the country
any $$$ from earlier trips to the hospital? when was I born? Parents alive?
Married? all that, you know. They talk to a man as if he had all his
faculties; they don't even pretend that you are dying. And they are hardly
in a hurry. It does have a calming effect but that's not their reason: they
are simply bored and they don't care whether you die, fly or fart. No, they
rather you didn't fart."
