Favorite Quote:
Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things. -Ray Bradbury

I don't care
I can't care
I shouldn't care
I won't care
I'm not allowed to care
It's illogical to care
My entire being is screaming at me not to care
It hurts to care
I don't even want to care
but I care nonetheless
