It&#8217;s a weird feeling to know that, with each breath, there&#8217;s a bit more change occurring (and a few more creases in the boyd).  I mean, there has to be because all i can see is the big differences&#8230; i have to imagine that it&#8217;s a smoothed out interpolation.  All the same, i find myself getting lamer.  I don&#8217;t just stay out to stay out and i prefer sleep to caffeine.  I no longer feel the compulsion to fit in with the freaks by actively following the social norms and i&#8217;ve stopped trying to make small talk with anyone whose initial discussion points involve drugs, sex or the music.  Perhaps it&#8217;s just another shift, but it&#8217;s funny to taste the changes, to start accepting that i don&#8217;t have to be a caricature of myself.  Ah, the new form of identity crisis&#8230; getting stuck in the identity that you constructed for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, i still love kitsch and i still love Ween.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moose pointed me to Michelle&#8217;s personal path through kitsch and beyond in her art.
