I don’t have a fucking clue what my subconscious was trying to say with that one.

Clearly this man is a deep thinking guy, perhaps one of the eminent scholars who is an expert to boot. Thank you, fellow traveller!

Once you take the leap of faith and accept that a housecat can have opinions about days of the working week, anything can follow.

“I believe because it is absurd”
Not the best words to LIVE by, but is the likely basis for some EXCELLENT achievements in fiction and performance arts 😁
