I Have To Laugh At Myself.

It Didn't Matter If I Got Bitten By A Dog Or I Ripped My Pants On The Fence Post Or I Poked Myself In The Eye With A Tree Branch That I Was Crawling Over, It Was All About The Shortcut. My Whole Life I Took The Shortcut, And I Ended Up Lost.

I Never Really Thought In Terms Of The Concept Of Being A Rock Star - Being Around People Like That Just Seemed Like Normal Day-in-the-life Stuff To Me. Those Were Just The Surroundings I Grew Up In.

Every Time You Empty Your Vessel Of That Energy, Fresh New Energy Comes Flooding In.

That's A Spiritual Lifestyle, Being Willing To Admit That You Don't Know Everything And That You Were Wrong About Some Things. It's About Making A List Of All The People You've Harmed, Either Emotionally Or Physically Or Financially, And Going Back And Making Amends. That's A Spiritual Lifestyle. It's Not A Fluffy Ethereal Concept.

I've Wanted To Feel Pleasure To The Point Of Insanity. They Call It Getting High, Because It's Wanting To Know That Higher Level, That Godlike Level. You Want To Touch The Heavens, You Want To Feel Glory And Euphoria, But The Trick Is It Takes Work. You Can't Buy It, You Can't Get It On A Street Corner, You Can't Steal It Or Inject It Or Shove It Up Your Ass, You Have To Earn It.
