It Didn't Matter If I Got Bitten

I Don't Even Know What Words To Use To Talk About The Music Industry Anymore. But The Business Has Changed A Lot - The Methods Of Releasing Music.

The Good News Is That By The Second Year, Those Cravings Were About As Half As Frequent, And By The Third Year, Half As Much Again. I'm Still A Little Bent, A Little Crooked, But All Things Crooked, I Can't Complain. After All Those Years Of All Kinds Of Abuse And Crashing Into Trees At Eighty Miles An Hour And Jumping Off Buildings And Living Through Overdoses And Liver Disease, I Feel Better Now Than I Did Ten Years Ago. I Might Have Some Scar Tissue, But That's Alright, I'm Still Making Progress.

It Takes Away A Lot Of The Thrill Of Killing Yourself When People Are Looking For You And You're Disappointing Them, Because It Is A Lot Of Fun When You're Out There Killing Yourself.

You Know What's The Worst? Being A 16 Year Old Girl Who Loves A Famous Singer, Not Solely For His Looks, But Because You Truly Believe He Is Talented And Devoted And You Agree Deeply With His Message.

That's A Spiritual Lifestyle, Being Willing To Admit That You Don't Know Everything And That You Were Wrong About Some Things. It's About Making A List Of All The People You've Harmed, Either Emotionally Or Physically Or Financially, And Going Back And Making Amends. That's A Spiritual Lifestyle. It's Not A Fluffy Ethereal Concept.
