The great Conor Oberst from the band Bright Eyes once sang "if you love something give it away". Who knew that seven simple words that once put together in one sentence could stir such contradictory feelings in me? The “angel-me” is saying “Yeah! This is great! Pure genius truth!! Love isn’t about possesion! Peace and love, yo!!” And then, there is this “devil-me” who screams “No way, if you love something, keep it for yourself you fool! If not, at least try to SELL it dude!!" Oh well... this is why I am not that soul-tortured artist able to pen meaningful lyrics that will elevate the average-you to a better-you, and He is (yes with a capital ‘H’ because Conor is God to me) . Hail to you, Conor! Let me be the thief now.
Indeed, here I am trying to take money out of people's pocket on Craigslist (mine has holes in it). I’m selling some of my clothes that didn’t get enough love. On the opposite hand, I poured, TO MY OWN DESPAIR, so much unjustified passion on less than seven plain and ugly pieces (1 black pen, 1 pair of blue jeans, 2 or 3 shirts, and my ready-to-be-thrown-in-the-garbage Converse shoes). These items got very little wear. Throwing them away would be an financial suicide for me... yeah especially in this economic crisis where everything is as stale as the water in your backyard’s little pond... What?! You don’t have a pond? Of course you do have one if you're from Montreal! You know... with all the rain we got... Montrealers shall have a hole filled with mud and water by now. God love raindrops, this is why he give them away, eh?
