for some reason, these lyrics are in my head all day today. so here they are.

artist: evergreen terrace
song: understanding the fear that lies within

This is everything you know, goodbye.
Take my hand. Here it is.
I will go. I'll be with you.
I will go. I'll stay with you.
See these scars?
They're for remembering.
Priceless mistakes will steal everything.
Who will be your voice?
Who will hear your cries?
Looking back I now know what makes us break.
Fear of all things you don't understand.
Remind me, this numbing has made me see.
Remind me, this numbing has let me sleep.
Remind me now.
Looking back I can see I don't know anything.
I just feel numb.
I just feel numb.

anyway, looks like i might be able to go to the benefit without trouble. hope so.

You may lose your most valuable property through mistfortune in various ways. You may lose your house, your wife and other treasures. But of your moko, you cannot be deprived except by death. It will be your ornament and companion until your last day.

- Netana Whakaari of Waimana (1921)


here's today's nietzsche:
The infuriating thing about an individual way of living. People are always angry at anyone who chooses very individual standards for his life; because of the extraordinary treatment which that man grants to himself, they feel degraded, like ordinary beings.
