People are always asking me if I know Tyler Durden...

“Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.”

I love Chuck Palahniuk books, even though this quotes is from the movie and not directly from the book.

I can relate to this quote on so many levels. I am a white-collar slave. I work at a job where I have to stifle who I am so I can pay for all the shit that I really don’t need. I grew up and was shaped as a person in the 90’s (age 9-18). There was no defining moment or situation that happened in the 90’s to give me some grand purpose or to put some perspective to life. My war is a spiritual war. I could give two shits about the war on terror right now, and I’m trying to deal with the depression in my life with drugs. I’m slowly learning that I will always be a slave to money, and I will never be remembered after all those that knew me die.



You know what? Sometimes you just have to admit that if you were forced to be gay, you wouldn’t mind it if Brad Pitt was doing you. (I’m comfortable enough in my heterosexuality to admit that.)
