Arbetsförmedlingen collects hours. By now they have collected myriad amounts of time.

Me, I collect experiences and other people’s money.

At the bank, (which also collects other people’s money,) premium clients can now have access to experiences:

*Hurt a guy

*Cop for a day

I saw this wino, he was eating grapes. I was like, dude, you have to wait.

Lord, I need help. My debt is mounting higher and higher; it’s getting out of control. Please show me creative ways to pay it off, and help me to save and spend with wisdom. I ask for the resources to pay down my credit cards, loans, and other debts. Lord, please clean up this mess I’ve created.

I find a duck’s opinion of me is very much influenced by whether or not I have bread.

Experiencing fear or even just a tiny bit of unease an early age really pisses on your parade, according to recent scientific reports.

200 000 clean beds.

I want to live in a nest.

Perhaps at times you’ve had it rough; … Shortcomings stacking up. Gloom. Lonely days cut off from normal interaction. Struggling just to wake in the morning; and even if you had the energy, you might lack the will. Yet even with everything wiped blank, the blankness still hinges on your being there, alive to the point of tears.

When attitude problems become form.

Borrow money from pessimists — they don’t expect it back.

Nothingness, much like God, communicates with us most truly through silence and incoherence.

Although angels never come
prayers can sooth your mind.
