Also, I wonder how many people blog whilst being totally wasted.

I wanted to be a teacher or a spider. I didn’t know anyone who thought when they get old they would want to make sure corpses stayed preserved for funerals for, like, money and that. But there are plenty of embalmers out there, so I’m sure some kid somewhere said “Yep, that’s the life for me”.

‘Cause I reckon, if there’s ever someone in need for a little word of comfort, it’d be that guy.

Seriously.
