All my life I just wanted to be a beatnik. Meet all the heavies, get stoned, get laid, have a good time. That’s all I ever wanted. Except I knew i had a good voice and I could always get a couple of beers off of it. All of the sudden someone threw me in the rock ‘n’ roll band. They threw these musicians at me, man, and the sound was coming from behind. The bass was charging me. And I decided then and there that that was it. I never wanted to do anything else. It was better than it had been with any man, you know. Maybe that’s the trouble.

Some sort of random rant….

Whenever something bad happens to me, I step back and look at how my life has treated me. My 16 year life so far has not been very hard, which I am grateful for. However this also terrifies me. I do not look forward to the days in my future that will bring amounts of suffering that I’ve never experienced before.

I also believe this is somewhat of a ‘jinx’; since I have the mentality that something horrible is going to happen to me, it will. When you go around life paranoid about the bad things that could happen to you, you ignore the potential good things.

Thus, I try to put this ‘paranoia’ aside and make happy memories that I can remember when I’m about to croak. I want to go to sleep each night with a smile on my face and thinking about that day, rather than worrying about what could happen tomorrow.

The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask.

Jim Morrison
