...but he got to it first

For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.

I think that my true calling in life was to write the works of Charles Bukowski -- but he had an 68 year head start, and finished the whole thing off before I even had a chance to get started. He's dead now. It's too bad; I think we could have been friends.
