sobriety w/o the seriousness

Water.

Music.

Notice things.

Don't be fake or g--.

Notice errors in you.

If I ever find that clip of that commie Senator from Montana toasting my sister at her wedding, saying her daily morning greeting was like an orgasm to him, I'll post it along side She's Like A Rainbow by The Rolling Stones.

Sobriety without the seriousness.

Without the somberness, without the boredom.

What was the name of that famous critic -- Bloom? -- who said serious art had to be boring.

What a g-- piece of shit statement.

F--- that guy.

Convert the "paternal instinct" for innocents into the sobriety necessary to remember that sobriety is necessary.

You're not using your paternal instinct for anything else, might as well repurpose it.

This is at a minimum. 

You must extend the paternal instinct, or whatever raw materials you may have on hand -- into calm sobriety -- at a minimum, f-----.
