Let Loose

(v.) to find transcendent contentment through art.

-- "Man, everything sucks. My shitty job, worrying about loosing my shitty job, never having enough money, there’s never anything to do even if I did have enough money. And don’t get me started on the government: Republicans, Democrats, Donald Trump — like there’s a difference. They’re all dicks who think we’re all idiots. And you know what? We are idiots. Who else but an idiot would put up with all this sub-mental, rip-off bullshit? I swear, I can’t take it no more. It’s clocktower time."

-- "Chill, son. You need to get your art on. Slide over to the museum, soak up some Mondrian and Miro. Or school up on an instrument like Louis Badass Armstrong’s choice of expression: the trumpet. Get a girl; waltz her honey ass to a dance class. Or maybe channel your hang-up’s and screw-up’s into a play, off-Broadway style. Don’t look back in anger, man. Know’m saying? Let loose.”

3. Find transcendental contentment in art

-- “Man, everything sucks. My job, my girl, my city. And who’s gonna save the day? The Democrats? The Republicans? Donald Trump? They're all a shower of dicks who think we’re all idiots. And you know what? We are idiots. Who else but an idiot would put up with all this sub-mental, rip-off bullshine? I swear, I can’t take it no more. It’s Glock-22 time.”

-- “Chill, son. You need to let that shit loose by sliding over to the museum and soak up some Mondrian and Miro. Or school up on an instrument like the trumpet. Get your girl; waltz her honey ass to a dance class. And when all else fails, channel your hang-up’s and screw-up’s into a play, off-Broadway style. Don’t look back in anger, man. Know’m saying? Get your art-on.”
