"You see the same as always, and being you, hate every minute of it."

I work at a place called Roulette, which is a wonderful place. Zeena Parkins put this in her program notes from a concert last December and I kept it. It's from a letter to Eva Hesse from Sol Lewitt:

"You see the same as always, and being you, hate every minute of it. DON'T!

LEARN TO SAY "FUCK YOU" TO THE WORLD ONCE IN A WHILE. YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO. JUST STOP THINKING, WORRYING, LOOKING OVER YOUR SHOULDER, WONDERING, DOUBTING, FEARING, HURTING, HOPING FOR SOME EASY WAY OUT, STRUGGLING, GASPING, CONFUSING, ITCHING, SCRATCHING, MUMBLING, BUMBLING, GRUMBLING, TUMBLING, SCRUMBLING, SCRAMBLING, HITCHING, HATCHING, BITCHING, MOANING, GROANING, HONING, BONING, HORSE-SHITTING, HAIR-SPLITTING, NIT-PICKING, PISS-TRICKLING, NOSE-STICKING, ASS-GOUGING, EYEBALL-POKING, FINGER-POINTING, ALLEYWAY-SNEAKING, LONG WAITING, SMALL STEPPING, EVIL-EYEING, BACK-SCRATCHING, SEARCHING, PERCHING, BESMIRCHING, GRINDING, GRINDING, GRINDING AWAY AT YOURSELF.

STOP AND JUST DO."

See you in Europe.
