Because of my age and what I do for a living and the amount of time that I’ve spent away from my family and loved ones, I’m starting to relate more to the late-period Kerouac stuff in the way that I once related to the fun and excitement of the early material. There’s a darkness inside of me that I’m only now starting to come to grips with and accept. And it’s starting to scare me.

Liking interesting things doesn’t make you interesting.

At this point in my life, I find myself obsessed with alternate paths I could’ve taken. I don’t think about this with a sense of regret, but with a sense of wonder...

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

Plans (2005)

You touch her skin
And then you think
That she is beautiful
But she don't mean a thing to me

Transatlanticism (2003)

And it's strange
They are basically the same
So i don't ask names anymore

Transatlanticism (2003)
