Surprisingly enough, this little vile of some horrible stuff called "Pink-Pink" is actually rather musky. And to think, after three months and then two more, I would get six checks. Micky Mantle captivated the nation, and Lars Montannaro is captivating this town. All the while Michael Moore is killing God and God is killing us. One must ask oneself, did God create me, or did I create God? Is God within me, or am I God myself? Throughout John Carpenter's life many questions plagued him, most remained unanswered, few allowed him to live and one killed him. He lies dying, gasping for air, with nothing but Steinbeck and brandy to bid him farewell. On a bed without sheets, in a motel without a kitchen, in a town without a theater, in a state without a king, in a land without hope, God lays dying. With nothing but the prayers of Mary Stein to bid him goodnight, he prays himself. Every man is a believer in the foxhole, just as he is a saint. Praying and praying, the fire rallies around a man, his emancipated guts lay spewing blood in the dirt. Without a clear objective man is nothing. Nothing is everything, and everything is unexplainable just as nothing can be explained. The Dark sings a song it believes to be beautiful, and the Light finds it discouraging to it's attempts of what it believes to be beautiful. So the Light chases away the Dark and the Wanderers wonder where it went. Wandering this world, they try and try and try to find it. They are looking in the wrong world. The man with a gun runs to the store and back and back and back again. The willows whisper a tune for their god that the oaks find blasphemous. The oaks chant louder and louder so as to please their god. Life goes on and life goes on and life goes on and then it doesn't. Then suddenly it  begins in a thousand more forms and in a thousand more lungs it breathes. Life will continue to exalt God and God will continue allowing life to breathe. For as long as there is air, breathes shall be taken.
