Optimist: A person who travels on nothing, from nowhere, to happiness. Stupidity If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy? The two most common things in the Universe are hydrogen, and stupidity. Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups. When you go into court, you are putting your fate into the hands of people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty. I'm not dumb. I just have a command of thoroughly useless information.

I'm definitely, positively, maybe indecisive. I have this nagging suspicion that everyone is out to make me paranoid. Never get into an argument with a schizophrenic and say "Who do you think you are?" I have the power to channel my imagination into ever-soaring levels of suspicion and paranoia. In some cultures, what I do would be considered normal. Madness has no purpose or reason; but it may have a goal. It is much more comfortable to be mad and know it, than to be sane and have doubts.

I enjoy every minute of it. You're just jealous because the voices are talking to me. Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most. Where would the world be without crazy people? ..Wait!
