"Save
your money" ... an ability I seem to lack. Whatever I get my hands on I
spend. I have never saved a dime in my life. Not that I haven't had the opportunity.
When I was an insurance broker I had lots of it. Instead of wise investments
I blew it all on booze, women and stuff. The only thing I had to show for all
the hundreds of thousands of dollars I made in the decades that I worked was
a vast collection of oddities. It all burned up in my house fire of 1995. Easy
come, easy go. The future has never seemed like something that was actually
going to happen. I'd really hate to die with any money in the bank. I just want
LOTS of money NOW. Money is terrible. I LOVE money !... I want MORE money ...
PLEASE ... Send me money! I've seen the people I grew up with amass great sums
of money ... homes, bank accounts ... all that. So why are they such assholes?
If I had enough money I could be like a god. I think about it often. I would
erect great churches and found religions in my name! I would create a new continent
out of slag and name it after myself! I would buy power! ... Influence! I would
be a KING! I think artists deserve to have money without working. I should not
be forced to chase after nickels and dimes just to pay my fucking rent! It's
a travesty! ... whatever.
