Life Advice from ShackNews
“There’s a GOGOGO switch in everybody. Most people don’t have control of theirs, especially not in their twenties. Usually, that comes with kids, or true hardship.
You need to break that switch. Roll out of bed in the morning and ROAR and rush through every thing that is thrown at you and at the end of the day collapse in blissful exhaustion. An epicurean existence is a fantastic thing, but it’s not an end in itself. You gotta have control of that switch. You’ve got to be able to charge into misery, leap flames, and stick your dick in almost anything to get the highlander prize, whatever it is to you. (hopefully it isn’t a gay sports car, because then you will have like 5 more movies to go through)
Doesn’t mean the switch always has to be flipped, that’s how you end up with a heart attack in your 40’s and 3 ex wives. But you definitely need total control over it so that you can blitz when the chips are down and you can obliterate things like this bullshit English thing you have to do. Life is not entirely about fun.
Life is about screaming gleeful defiance into the crashing wave of time before the sea of eternity sweeps you away into nothing. Because we are infinitely lucky we weren’t rocks, or hydrogen atoms spread across an inconceivable vastness. Because we’re stupid, irrelevant and stubborn. Because we are grit in the eye of God.
So quit being a pussy and do your fucking homework.”
