Sigh… What a week… A Wise Ape once told me if I wasn’t getting hate mail, no one was reading my stuff. Well, people are definitely reading my stuff… This past week, I leaned heavily on my faith and asked myself many times WWTGD? (What Would The Gorilla Do?). I think I’ve turned a corner [...]

Posted by on April 8, 2011 at 10:03 am

I’ve realized this morning that I’m never going to be good enough. At least, not as long as I’m playing by the rules of society and our fucked up culture. I really shouldn’t care. But I do. It’s not even that I play by the rules anymore, but a lot of people I know still [...]
