You seem to have an opinion about that. What do you think about art school?

Sounds like a big fat waste of time to me. Everybody I know who ever went to art school is like “I didn’t learn anything practical there”. My personal experience of working in the arts is that the best and most interesting way of making art is something that you either do naturally or you don’t do. It’s not a skill that you go to school to learn or to get better at. Chances are at 18, you don’t know what you want to make better yet. So the idea of going to art school in lieu of college doesn’t really make any sense to me. Go out and work for somebody who is an artist doing something that you find interesting, chances are you are going to find it interesting. But you are not going to work in that field, you are going to go find somebody else, and they are going to teach you everything you ever need to know and you can make connections and then you get your job.

Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads.Or better yet, date a girl who writes.

Also, she’ll have to look mighty fine, know how to cook and raise children, be somewhat cool and dress like a real person. Thus, dating a girl that reads is basically impossible.

BIG DREAMS, GANGSTER. SAID YOU HAD TO LEAVE TO START YOUR LIFE OVER… I WAS LIKE “NO PLEASE, STAY HERE.” WE DON’T NEED NO MONEY, WE CAN MAKE IT ALL WORK. BUT HE HEADED OUT ON SUNDAY, SAID HE’D COME HOME MONDAY—I STAYED UP WAITIN’, ANTICIPATIN’ AND PACIN’ BUT HE WAS CHASING PAPER. “CAUGHT UP IN THE GAME,” THAT WAS THE LAST I HEARD. I WILL LOVE YOU TILL THE END OF TIME. I WOULD WAIT A MILLION YEARS—PROMISE YOU’LL REMEMBER THAT YOU’RE MINE. LOVE YOU MORE THAN THOSE BITCHES BEFORE. SAY YOU’LL REMEMBER, OH BABY, SAY YOU’LL REMEMBER. I WILL LOVE YOU TILL THE END OF TIME. I TOLD YOU I WANTED MORE—BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT I HAD IN MIND. I JUST WANT IT LIKE BEFORE.
