DJ Boxer creates music that makes me high. Sometimes, his music doesn't make me high. Then his music makes me angry. DJ Boxer thinks he's tapped into some euphoric truth beyond humanity. DJ Boxer is high. DJ Boxer bellows worship songs praising the feeling he's having when he's high. High. High. High. Nothing more than high.

Georgia is a nice place to visit. I once knew an elderly man named George from Georgia. He wrote a long poem about the history of nostalgia. The mayor of the town he lived in thought his poem absurd. George went fishing that day and tore his poem into small pieces to use as bait.

Herbert's Conflict:

Herbert Leatherman becomes bored easily. He's tiredly unaware of this. He searches for dissatisfaction and controversy. His temperament oscillates systematically for a three to five day cycle-always culminating with a day of exhaustion, isolation, and responsibility avoidance.

Herbert's main conflict, for this book's purposes will be to overcome his cyclical nature. He will slowly learn to manifest his own personal life pace. In doing so, he will, while still achieving most of what he wishes, remove the idea of responsibility all together.

This work will be difficult.

It's not Bruce's fault that he is unemployed. He's tried many times to find work. It's difficult for him. Many times he's said (when he's conjured the gumption to formulate his tortured thoughts into cognitive words) that he was not made to work in the typical work world. He's even suggested that he has a handicap that has yet to be declared by the people who decide these things. Although Bruce has never said such and even though he most likely doesn't actually know this consciously, Bruce believes he is being persecuted. He considers society's treatment of him analogous to any form of racism.
