when you give'em everything they only want more

Juro a vocês, senhores, que ter muita consciência é uma doença; 
uma verdadeira e perfeita doença.

- Dostoiévski em Memórias do subsolo
A história da minha vida não existe. Ela não existe. Jamais tem um centro. Nem caminho, nem trilha. Há vários espaços onde se diria haver alguém, mas não é verdade, não havia ninguém.

- Marguerite Duras em O amante
love is passé in this day and age
how can we expect it to grow?

Glen was so many different things. A son. A civil servant. A proud member of the Spare Me bowling team. Two time runner-up at the Southern Regional Tournament. And a great, truly tracker. But he was a lot more than that. Glen was infuriating, insulting, just so maddening. He was a hedonist, a chauvinist, a liar and a cheat. But there was one thing Glen was not. And that's afraid. Glen was not afraid. He wasn't afraid of judgment. Of being wrong. He wasn't afraid of friendship. Or romance. A bad joke. A good laugh. He was never afraid of a good time. Or bad timing. Or consequences. Or of an impossible task. Or any kind of danger.  

No matter how hard or unfair life was to Glen, Glen loved life back. He embraced it without reservation, regret or remorse. And that is rare. I wish more people were unafraid like Glen.

An ear, cut off, is listening.

I used to be so certain
That you'd return to me.
