Stray thought for the day: Putting boundaries on how punk should sound/look is the least punk rock thing one can do. Be yourself=Very punk.

I always thought 'Stump' was kind of like, you dropped something on your foot. It's not the most exotic rock-star name.

A pinned butterfly holds no delight. A pinned butterfly is nothing like a butterfly at all.

If I could sum it up in 50 words, I wouldn't have needed to write a whole novel about it.

As long as I hold it as long as I use it, the knife lives, lives in order to take life, but it has to be commanded, it has to have me to tell it to kill, and it wants to, it wants to plunge and thrust and cut and stab and gouge, but I have to want it to as well, my will has to join with its will.

I'm the one who allows it and I'm the one responsible.

I am no poet. I do not love words for the sake of words. I love words for what they can accomplish. Similarly, I am no arithmetician. Numbers that speak only of numbers are of little interest to me.
