Because ultimately, giving a shit about oneself only causes undue suffering. I really don't give a damn about what happens anymore, and this will sound bleak and nihilistic, but its because all paths lead to the grave. And I'm not tyring to be melancholy, I actually like that idea. Life is messy difficult and most of the time, filled with pain. Death, by contrast might be the easiest thing in the world. I'm not going to kill myself, and it's not like I'm really looking forward to the end. I'm ready for it though, because really, living is a crapshoot and I'm not much of a gambler. But that's all right. Making peace with existence is salvation. So really, the only thing I believe in is the "fuck it" principle. Something isn't going right? Fuck it, it'll be gone in a while. I find it immensely comforting. So when I wake up tomorrow, I'm going to be the same Tom, I'll still do everything the same, and I'll still get angry with the government, and I'll still think that socialism is cool, and I'll still want to save the world. The difference is now, when things don't go as planned, that's ok.
I didn't give a shit in the first place.

I'd actually seen the shirt earlier; it's a good time. And with a good purpose or not, personal blog advertising is nothing to be ashamed of. On another note, you may wish to check out my upcoming entry regarding Christianity, and furthermore, thanks for reading, I assumed all of my readers were the few friends I've tricked into being loyal.
