It heartens me to know that we are so alike... I once said that very same thing about eating goldfish. I'm still right.
Goldfish are the devil, and eating them stunts growth and knowledge!

I love labels. Tree, I believe to be a very effective label. Saves on renaming every individual, well... tree.
Restrictions are nice, because without them there is only the infinite. When everything is the only something, nothing is all that can be identified.

She's after your pretty frilly soul! Don't let her have her way with it!
I could almost excuse this... but she wore *those* shoes. What the hell was she thinking? This is why you must keep your soul close to you at all times. Don't want fashionless fools to take advantage of it, do we now?!

If spiritual people ain't blowing up towers... then what the hell is the point of having all of that positive energy?
Why hoard that?! SHARE IT WITH THE WORLD! It's so... selfish. And don't get me wrong... many spiritual people are like that, but that doesn't mean I have to like it or emulate their pathetic and callous behavior!
<----- The way I am going.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
