Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools (Romans 1:22)
Various quotes:
For a lot of people, their first love is what they'll always remember. For me it's always been the first hate, and I think that hatred, though it provides often rather junky energy, is a terrific way of getting you out of bed in the morning and keeping you going.

I get for some reason somewhat stronger when the sun starts to go down. Dusk is a good time for me. I'm crepuscular.
For most of my life I let women do the driving and was happy to let them.
