To have it all come out right, to surprise yourself at how together you could be. When was the last time you ever met someone who made you want to give it all to them? I mean give yourself to them. Where you couldn’t express yourself enough - like you wanted to cut off one of your arms to be understood. That’s it - you would cut your head off to have someone understand you. You know how pointless that one is. You know how many times you’ve smashed yourself to bits on the rocks.”<br/><br/> - <em>Henry Rollins, <em>Black Coffee Blues</em></em>http://danielcharles.net/post/16890602575http://danielcharles.net/post/16890602575Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:20:45 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ll1k8od2T01qzzi42o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://danielcharles.net/post/16849726799http://danielcharles.net/post/16849726799Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:46:05 -0500<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player_black.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/16841570033/tumblr_lyorniGYso1qzzi42&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best" wmode="opaque"></embed><br/><br/><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_E._King" target="_blank">Ben E.

The people I loved were celebrities, surrounded by rumor and fanfare; the places I sat with them, movie lots and monuments. No doubt all of this is not true remembrance but the ruinous work of nostalgia, which obliterates the past, and no doubt, as usual, I have exaggerated everything.”<br/><br/> - <em>Michael Chabon, <em>The Mysteries of Pittsburgh</em></em>http://danielcharles.net/post/16301226957http://danielcharles.net/post/16301226957Sun, 22 Jan 2012 10:06:00 -0500““What do you fear?
