Welcome to Bitter Films: "temporary anesthetics"

long time coming

Treehugger: Quote from R. Grudin's book Time and the Art of Living: "'The future is like a friendly stranger, polite and patient, forever trying to get acquainted with us, forever being rebuffed. If we did simple exercises for thirty minutes a day, we would greatly improve our strength, health, beauty, and life expectancy. If we studied for one hour a day, we could relatively soon learn languages, master wide knowledge, and..

..develop new professions. If we sensibly invested $1 a day, we would in thirty years control substantial wealth. If we did ourselves the almost absurdly simple honor of planning our free time, we would enlarge ourselves into a whole new dimension of freedom. Yet we often fail to do any of these things, so great is our contempt of the future, so massive our ignorance of ourselves. It would be for most of us a highly disagreeable experience to meet, in the flesh, our future selves. Not just for the visual shock of seeing our own spirits animating bent limbs, watery eyes, and sagging jowls; but for the moral shock of meeting individuals whom we have daily and disgracefully wronged.'"

one more time around

I woke the same,
as any other day except a voice was in my head.
It said, "sieze the day,
pull the trigger, drop the blade and watch the rolling heads."
The Day I Tried to Live,
I stole a thousand beggars' change and gave it to the rich.
The Day I Tried to Win,
I dangled from the power lines and left them all astretch.
One more time around, i might do it.
One more time around, i might make it.

The words you say,
never seem to live up to the ones inside your head.
The lives we make,
Never seem to ever get us anywhere but dead.

The Day I Tried to Live,
I wallowed in the blood and mud with all the other pigs.

I woke the same,
as any other day, you know i
should have stayed in bed.

The Day I Tried to Win,
I wallowed in the blood and mud with all the other pigs.
and I loved that i was alive.

The Day I Tried To Live
just like you.

One more time around.
