“we have everything at uncle vicks,” the giant whispered. “here, take one of these cards. and make sure you keep it close to you at all times.”
…an indignation to which it is necessarily driven by the contradiction between its human nature and its condition of life, which is the outright, resolute and comprehensive negation of that nature.

addiction is this fucking man right here. he is always there. leaning against the wall. out of focus and in the dark. waiting for you to go running into his arms again.
the toughest part about ginger root is making sure it’s the real deal. the american stuff is alright but the real ginger comes from larnalkas. it’s a small island a few miles off the coast of chile. the only thing capable of growing there is the most powerful ginger in the world. i went there a few times. you can hire a guide to take you. the guide has a rope attached to his torso and he swims across with you in a rowboat behind. you have to make sure you bring a paddle though because if your guide goes down, the current will sweep you through the hexiboric current before you even know to try and swim back yourself.
when i was born, my mom told me that i had a lot to say. i don’t know whether that’s true or not but i know for a fact that kids don’t really speak in at least the first few months of life in a language that you and i recognize. it’s more like cooing and crying and screaming. so i’m not sure whether she was talking about that as opposed to some possible delusion she had. i think that’s a fair question, because people know, you and i know at least, that these kind of things get passed down.

a lot of people think i keep my wallet in here or my extra pair of leather thongs. but it never really crossed anyone’s mind out there that i was a follower of positive behavioral adjustment. it works a bit like this. you get rid of money. you get rid of titles and jobs. it’s not necessarily communism, because we all know that’s flawed, but compassionate capitalistic collectivism. we sit all together, as close as possible, and that’s how we get rid of our dependence on foreign oil. and in terms of producing crops and products, we provide incentives through stickers. you grow a tree. you’ll get a round sticker. you grow a row of corn. you’ll get maybe ten or fifteen stickers, maybe even the shiny kind that was kind of puffy too. you grow a whole farm of three types of fruit and you get forty five stickers of your choice. and the way it’s still compassionate is that you actually have to put up the stickers on a collective wooden board in the center of town.
